Finally Friday

This week just had a weird feel. I have been fighting a cold and Carly has a runny nose. The last couple of nights she has been coughing a lot and, of course, I find myself in bed listening for her. On Tuesday night we had dinner with Jon's parents. We went to Jazz and I think everyone enjoyed it. The rest of the week has been pretty relaxed and low key, what with the weather and runny noses. We wanted to go to the Twilight Festival last night, but the rain kept us at home.

Tonight Jody and Tiffany are coming to visit. Jody has to take the Praxis (sp?) for physics on Saturday morning. For some reason he couldn't take it in Springfield this time, so he will be on the MU campus. We'll figure out where he has to go and make sure he gets there.

Tomorrow we are supposed to go to the MU Football game . . . the rain may spoil our plans once again. Jon's employer, WK, is having their annual Tailgate. We'll just have to wait and see. Maybe the forecast will be clear early in the day. Keep you fingers crossed for us.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Family

Carly and I went to Kyle's football game on Friday night, Go Lakers! I worked with her all week trying to get her to clap. On Friday afternoon she was playing by herself on the floor and I noticed her clapping. I could tell how proud she was of herself by her babble and big grin. She got to show off her new skill during the game on Friday night, there was a lot to clap about.




On Saturday Jody and Tiffany came to spend a couple of nights with us. They babysat on Saturday evening and Jon and I got to have dinner alone. When we got home we put Carly to bed and the four of us watched a strange movie - The Wicker Man with Nicholas Cage. We always end up at weird plays or watching strange movies when we get together, and I always seem to be the guilty party. :) On Sunday, we all went for a walk on the Katy Trail at Rocheport. It was a beautiful day, and we all enjoyed the exercise. Carly really enjoyed the time with her uncle and aunt. It's always nice when they can visit.



On Monday morning they headed to St. Louis. Jody had his yearly transplant check-up at Barnes Hospital. As far as I know, he got a good report. It's hard to believe it's been five years! What a blessing that he and Mom did so well.
