XC Running

Hi!  I hope all of you have had a wonderful week.  It has been a crazy couple of weeks and while I haven't posted much it isn't because of lack of activity in our life.  Mostly our days are filled with lots of ordinary right now.  Last week, we seriously had three doctors appointment.  Monday started off with a minor dental operation to extract a tooth that was invected in Ivy's mouth.  Apparently, when they did the root canal prior to going to Germany the dentist must have not gotten a very good seal on the crown.  Then on Wednesday, Winston has his braces removed.  Pictures to follow soon as soon as I can corner him long enough to get his picture and Roman visited the cardiologist on Thursday for his annual appointment.  He is currently in good shape, so nothing to worry about.  If you are new to this site than you may not know my son Roman was born with a heart defect and had open heart surgery when he was  3 months old and a second surgery to put in a stent in his pulmonary valve when he was 8.  This week isn't going to be any less busy as Addy and Avery begin Gymnastic lessons on Monday.  Tuesday, I have a luncheon to go to for my ladies church group.  Wednesday, my husband and I are going to go to a concert and out to dinner to celebrate our 21-year wedding Anniversary that came and went on August 1st but we were to busy to celebrate.  Thursday, we have a meeting with our social worker for our 2-year post adoption paperwork for Ivy bringing us to Friday which is jammed packed with a hair appointment, a salad to make for my sons' xc running pre-race dinner, a goodbye party for a friend who is moving to Utah, and a stay at the Marriott with my girls because their grandma is treating us the American Girl suite. I know you are probably shaking your head on the last one, but American Girl has teamed up with Marriott and created a little girls dream room decorated in all pink, customized bathrobes, swimming, a movie with popcorn, and doll-sized beds.  The girls are so excited they can't wait.  Well, it is Sunday afternoon and the house is amazingly quiet because Nana took the girls to pick pears at a friends house and then to play at the park.  I think I am going to take that rare nap that I never get. I hope your Sunday has been as wonderful as mine, but before I go I am going to post a few pictures of my son running his first race of the season.  See you back here soon!  I promise some good things to come, so stay tuned.
