OK, so the end of summer and start of school threw my routine out of wack and I have been a bad blogger, but I think I got things back on track and can catch up. I had a special appointment with Dr. Gil and he gave me 4 new arms so I can do it all now!
So, rather than doing another long 2 month update, I decided to do September and then send October next week. Hope that helps not only me, but you with your time management.
September marks the one year anniversary of Andy's accident and rather than risk any PTSD moments watching the Skinnyman, we decided to go out of town. We happened to win a silent auction bid for a trip for 4 to Baltimore to see an Oriole game. OK, the Orioles aren't that great and they were playing the Rangers, but it was for charity and we had been talking about going to Baltimore, so it just all worked out. It was a beautiful weekend and it was actual a good game and one of the few they won this year. Here's the kids and I at the inner harbor, we spent alot of time there exploring all the museums and ships, very educational! Very nice family destination.
We came home just in time for the first day of school. Big day this year. Rex is in middle school and has to get up alot earlier. He is also walking to school and getting home @ 2:30pm, He loves it and is doing great according to his first progress report.
Ruby also moved to another school & she is liking the mommy & me time in the morning. She loves her new school, teacher, & class and she is doing great also. I somehow got talked into being her room mother, so I get to coordinate and plan all the fun activities for her room! Right up my ally! Here the kids are on the first day of school.
We all went to see American Idols Live tour the week after school started, on a school night no less. We all watched the show together, so it was fun seeing the top 10, but Andy & the kids wore out by intermission. They said it was too hot and foggy, so they left early. Thank goodness my mom went and made it through so I had a ride home. I took pictures, but they didn't come out so good with the lights & the fog.
Next big event in Spetember was Rex turning 11. Apparently whe you are 11 you don't need kid birthday parties anymore, so we just had a family get together. He wanted it catered by Moe's as he loves their chips & Salsa and tacos. He got lots of fun gifts & as always, it was a beautiful day and we were able to be outside. Here is his invitation & him with his brownie cake.
So that was September. I had a post-op nipple appointment (they are fine, not as big & pointy, but there) & a pre-op areola tattoo appointment (surgery was 10-9, but you'll have to stay tune to hear about that!)........... October to follow next week once we get through the whole thing!
Until Have a happy and safe Halloween.
