week in review…

Last Sunday we went to church … came home, ate, napped, and back to church.  Izzy was noisy in evening church so she and I spent the hour in the cry room.  Funny how quiet she is when we are behind glass :)

Monday it was rainy and chilly outside.  We stayed in most of the day.  I cooked a huge pot of stew and cornbread. It was delicious.

Tuesday was Veteran’s Day.  Izzy got a little too hot in the assembly and spent her time with Camilla recuperating.  Tuesday evening was FLO at church. There were a lot of new ladies there and lots of turkeys were given out.

Wednesday Izzy had a good day at school. I found out that her kid walk had been ordered and now we are just waiting for it to arrive. They said probably about 3 more weeks!  Very exciting.

Thursday Izzy had a great day at school. Camilla and Melanie had good things to say and we are seeing progress in her feet and hips.  It’s exciting!   While Izzy was at school I met my brother at Sam’s for a little grocery shopping and ran to the beauty supply for a bottle of caramel color for Amanda’s hair.  When I brought izzy home I carried her over to the fence to see Pinky (the horse).  We pet and talked to Pinky for a while.  After dinner I put the dark and light foils in Amanda’s hair.  It turned out really really great!  Amanda mailed her transcripts to OU!

Friday I had to run to Amanda’s school to pay for her graduation announcements & cap & gown!  Yikes!  Amanda had an interview at the ATT store.  We don’t know yet if she is hired.  Me, Amanda and Emelia saw the cutest dolls made out of gloves on Martha Stewart.  Emelia and I have been gathering supplies to make them… I’ll post a finished project!  Julie suggested we start a blog with our favorite recipes.  So we did… it’s here.

Here’s Amanda mailing her transcript to OU. She’s even wearing the OU colors! (sorry Paula :)

Today Matt got up early to go to a men’s breakfast at church.  They ended up doing some projects and he wasn’t home until almost noon.  I took Emelia to a birthday party at the skating rink after we stopped at my brother’s house for a bit and ran to the store for a gift.  There have been a lot of good movies on the Hallmark Channel today… tonight I watched, “accidental friendship.”  It was a sweet hallmarky movie.

    Such a cute picture of Amanda. Isn’t it exciting to think about them going to College. I can’t believe Kyle will be off next year–seems absolutely impossible.

    So glad to hear Izzy is making progress.
