Friday News

I found out this morning that my newborn nephew, Avery, is in the hospital with 103 fever. My sister is there with Ty and Jessica. She said Avery had a spinal tap to test for meningitis and it was positive. He may be transferred to a hospital in Galveston. I'm praying that he is ok. If you wouldn't mind, please take a minute and say a prayer for little Avery.

So, yesterday, some of my co-workers and I were getting together to make a "get well gift" for our coordinator, Terry, who is having surgery on Tuesday. My co-worker, Tammie, suggested that I bring Landen to a pottery class that her kids were going to before our get-together, so I did. He really had a lot of fun. The kids made several bowls & things that they will go back and paint in about 2 weeks.

Here are several pictures from the pottery place:




Afterwards, several of us had lunch at Casa Maria, then went to Tammie's house to visit since we don't really see each other much in the summer, and to work on the painting we are making for Terry. She doesn't want flowers or anything, but asked for something homemade. We let the kids do the actual painting and then signed it for her. We are also making food to freeze and send over after the surgery.


I brought Landen to his first baseball game afterwards and he was really nervous about playing, being able to catch the ball, etc. and he did great! He got someone out, covered the bases well as short stop, and got a nice hit both times he went to bat. Elizabeth's mother was there, which is always awkward, and she even came to sit by me through the whole game. If you don't know this story, I gave Elizabeth up for adoption at birth and we reunited 9 years ago. Never a dull moment, but it went ok. I listen, she talks about herself, but whatever works. As long as we get along and I can be involved with Elizabeth and the boys, i'll do what I have to do. I also got to play with Mack during the game and I've promised to bring him to my house soon and he's promised to behave, so we'll see!!!

This is Mack & Landen:

This afternoon, Lesley & I are going to get our hair colored, highlighted, and cut! The girl who does my hair is right down the street from me and has become a friend of mine. She is going to do our hair together so we can hang out while waiting for things to dry! Then tonight, 6 of my middle school/high school friends are getting together for dinner at Sarita's along with our hubbies! We never invite the fellows, so tonight we are bringing them along! It should be a lot of fun!
