I know it has been awhile since I have been blogged, but this is my busy time at work (500 grant requests to read) so my evenings,when I am not running have been me sitting on my butt, resting my eyes! Lots of good stuff this year, it will be another year of hard decisions.
Anyway, dance is going great for Alison. She is really pretty good, and the teachers are pleased. She went to her first dance team party, and got paired up with 2 middle school girls as her "buddies". They are very nice girls and Alison likes them a lot.
Cheerleading is going great. The girls learned their dance in 1 week, so now it is just polishing it up! The team is 3-2 now I think. But, the coaching of the cheer squad is STELLAR! The play/cheer calling is above and beyond!
Healthwise, Alison is so,so. She has a rotten cold and just is not gaining any weight. I am not sure what this will mean for her. Her next clinic appt. is tomorrow so I will post how that goes. My guess is they are going to start pressing us about reinserting the feeding tube. I think Doug and I will fight this for awhile because she seems so strong and is incredibly active. Just the other day, one of the latchkey teachers mentioned that she seems so much healthier than last spring. So, that was good to hear. I think it is hard for us to notice since we are with her everyday.
Abbi is having a great soccer season. She has played goalie twice so far this year, and has scored one goal on offense. She is really having fun. She will start her indoor season is just 3 weeks. We were invited back to Sweetfeet with Coach Heather and we could not be happier.
It is my hope to get her back in the water once Dolphin football season is over. I know she missed it - but we are just so busy right now that I could not add one more thing.
Doug and I have a date tonight. I cannot believe it. We have Blue Jackets tickets in the Nationwide Suite. It should be fun. Thanks to Jolene and Brenda for dealing with my children tonight and running CCD carpool and homework, etc. I owe you both!
That is all for now. I must get back to work and read more grants!!!!!! I will post about Alison's appt. tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed that she gains something. Maybe I will stuff her pockets with rocks! Since the weather is changing she will have heavier clothes on too! :-D
OHHH! And the best news of ALL! The Browns WON! They beat the smelly Bengals!

Also, here is a shot of Alison on the tube!

Crazy Weekend! Need Rest!
Well, we had 4 opportunities for a mark in the "win" column this weekend and only came up with 1 as far as I am concerned and 2 if this were Doug.
Abbi's soccer team the Wildcats came through with a fantastic win! Abbi played an awesome game and also went in as goalie for 1 quarter. Her friend Emmy scored 2 goals! The team really looked good.
The Hilliard Dolphins played a very physical game but came up short. They looked good however against one for the better teams in the league. Our friend Ryan played for the other team and he had a good game.
I have nothing to say about the Buckeyes, other than how great it was to see everyone! Thanks for stopping by!
And, well the Browns sucked again! But, I will always be a fan for my Brownies! No fair weather fans here...that is for sure!
The wind on Sunday was more fun to watch than football this weekend. We were very lucky, unlike everyone around us. We only lost a shutter, some of the girls flower pots and a couple boards from the fence. We have our power and our roof! And Chris and Sherry's tree held strong - we were very worried about it coming down on the house! However, the house behind us had a tree come down on the corner of their house - Doug and Jason went over to help. Rob and Jolene lost a lot of shingles, their neighbor took the worst of it with all the siding coming off one side of their house. We spent some time running around chasing siding, car top carriers, lawn chairs, etc etc. The best part of all was when the trampoline came tumbling down the court! We definitely had "debris"!
I hope everyone is ok! Doug is home with the girls since there is no school and this is my busiest time of year. He is a gem!
Take care!
