A day in the First Grade

Jonah was in a skit and did awesome!!! The 2 first grade classes did a skit on a day in the life of first grade. Jonah played the teacher in his part of the skit. He did soooo good. I am working on trying to get the video smaller so I can post it...

My first day of Preschool

Abby started Preschool today. She is all grown up. And everyone probably wants to know what I did... what else does a mom do... grocery shopping and went to the Library by myself! Pretty sad, but it was nice to not have "extra" hands while going down the isle! She had a great day! Her teacher called this afternoon and said she did wonderful! James even got a story from her about what the teacher said they could and could not paint on and that they got painting shirts. Kinda figured that was the highlight of her day!

A day at the farm... Grants farm

Walking

Bird... Like you couldn't tell.

On the tram ride up!

We had a fun day at Grants farm on Sat. What a day! It was very hot, but worth it.

Ya, I got nothing

Abby got dressed and wanted me to take pictures of her... She is a riot!

(did anyone notice the tennis shoes with the dress??? After all they are her "running shoes")

First day of First grade!

Jonah goes to first grade!

Fancy Abby

Oh-la-la!!!!

Diagnosis update

So.... I went back to the Dr. yesterday. He is now changing my diagnosis to... CTD (connective tissue disease) from Lupus. Way to make a blanket diagnosis. Lupus is a CTD... but I have had other symptoms lately that don't go with Lupus, so he is changing it to just CTD until we get blood work done and more observation. I am staying on the Plaquinil because it has made my ANA's go way down and stay pretty stable. So, the good news is I don't have Lupus. Bad news, he is still in the "Ummmm" diagnosis... AGAIN!! Keep praying. :) Many frusterations down this road, but it is one we have to travel. More when I know it.

Surgery Update

Hi everyone! Jonalee made it through her surgery yesterday. She can see today. Praise the Lord! Her follow-up with Dr. Galanis went great, and he is very pleased. http://drgalanis.com/ The staff was wonderful and the surgery went very well.
Thank you for your prayers!!!
