Tomorrow we are off to Colorado for three weeks of vacation and cooler weather! It has been 100 or over every day here for the past week or two and the lows at night have been 80. It is supposed to cool off to 90 for a high tomorrow. Wouldn't you know it would wait until we leave to do that. I am so thankful for ac. That's all I can say.
This week has been crazy busy. Somehow I did not realize this was the week we were leaving and so volunteered to help with a VBS our church is doing at an apartment complex. Also, we had three doctor appointments this week and I am trying to get my paper for my class done so it's been insane.
The theme for VBS is Summer Splashdown. They are doing different stories about water from the Bible. Tonight is the last night and then tomorrow is just a party with games and hotdogs and stuff. We won't be there for that. I skipped last night and will skip tonight again to work on my paper. I feel bad but Aaron keeps telling me that is what I should do and he doesn't mind going by himself. There is a kid that that Aaron goes to control. :) This kid's name is Gilbert. He is a Mexican kid that is as wide as he is tall. The first night he was talking and singing in class while other people were trying to talk. Finally Aaron stood up and started heading over to sit by Gilbert. Well I don't know what Gilbert thought Aaron was going to do to him but he jumped out of his chair and was over by the door in about two seconds. It was hilarious! They finally convinced him that Aaron wasn't going to do anything to him. Just sit by him. He settled down after that. The next night he switched classes so they asked Aaron to go in with him. When he saw Aaron he got a really pouty look on his face and wouldn't look at Aaron but he behaved. So far Aaron's presence has encouraged him to behave every night. It cracks me up.
Today we went to the geneticist. Fortunately she did not have anything to add to information about Maddy's condition or any tests she wanted to do. She did tell us a story about some girls that had arthrogryposis that were in one of her mom's college classes. One girl was getting her master's and the other was an artist. I thought that was cool and encouraging. Our risk of having another pregnancy with the same problems is the same risk as any person out there.
Well I need to stop and get stuff finished up for leaving.
