Today is the day!

Today is Aspen and Haven's 11th Birthday. I cannot believe they are so big. We have a very busy evening and unfortunately after GOTR the rest of the evening is a couple of Kaelyn's activities. So today for lunch I am taking the girls lunch and eating with them. Something I have never done and they are so excited. They have chosen Subway.

I wanted to also tell you all about Kaelyn's Solo and Ensemble. It was a long day but she really enjoyed it. She got to watch 3 of her friends perform which she not only enjoyed but learned from. Her ensemble played at 8:00 am and they got a second division rating which is like getting a "B". Her ensemble was made up of her and 5 boys a few of which she wasn't fond of their lack of responsibility so I think a 2nd rating was great. :O) Then her solo was supposed to be at 2:04 but by then they were running late so it was more like 2:40. But she got a 1 division rating which is like getting an "A". She was very pleased. The judge had her French horn there and actually used it to help her see what she needs to work on. It was certainly a great learning experience.

This is Andy's week in Germany. They went to France for a day went a castle and drove/rode ont he autobahn. I am sure that will be a highlight for him. :O) They then went on to Germany. He has gotten to see another castle and the black forest. He says I will want to go to Germany the next time we travel because it is so impressive. I could have told him that. He says it is very expensive too! Regardless, I think they are actually going to the mill today. LOL!

I have been going to physical therapy and I know it's helping but I just can't see the problem going away in a month of PT. Although I pray that is the case. I hate not being able to exercise the way I want and my hip still being swollen.

I have been trying to plan GOTR details for our practice run and end of the program party and plan VBS with Kim. I am very excited about both but concerned I can't give either my full attention and I pray I am not falling either short.

Our weather has been gorgeous. We have been in the mid 70's and sunny but I know the cooler temps are coming this weekend....

I think that is all the update for now.
