The Bunch Have A Good But Busy Week

 

T's last honor guard event. He can't participate after he turns 18.

First, and most importantly, both my dad and D's mom are home from the hospital and both are recovering nicely. My Dad's platelets are at 384,000 after being at 2000 when he checked in to the hospital! He is responding very well to his treatment. He has 4 more weekly doses and then they will switch him to a maintenance plan. He will always have to get treatments for his cancer since it's not curable, but he should be able to maintain a fairly normal life by getting the treatments. 

C and H had their first official obstetrician appointment this week. The new due date is December 5 and yes, they found out what the gender is and no they aren't telling us until June 14 at the gender reveal. I personally think it will be a girl. I know H's family is really hoping for a boy since they have no boys on that side. I don't really care what it is. I am just super excited about having a grandbaby to take on fun outings and spend time with!

T and I have been crazy busy getting everything together for him to start school in the fall. There is all kinds of meetings, testings, paperwork, and shots we have to get done so he can register for his classes. So far he still plans on being a paramedic. We will see if he adds firefighter to that degree too.

A has been doing pretty good. She and her boyfriend broke up this past week. I didn't ask why. I figured she would volunteer that if she wanted. She seems maybe a little sad, but overall she is pretty good. We are going to see Wicked again next week so she's looking forward to that. We are also going to go get our facials together next week which she is super excited about.  

In a crazy turn of events, D and I might fix the SUV after all. I am not really sold on this idea, but we do need something to tow the trailer to be able to get hay and take stuff to the recycling place, plus with T starting school we just need another car. I thought getting a little commuter car like D has would work well, but that still wouldn't solve the towing issue and we don't want to buy a new truck while still paying off somethings. I just don't like that if something were to happen that the car being totaled out would be like $3000 less than what we paid to get everything fixed. We'll see.  I will let you know if he talks me into it.

He will miss the friends he made.

He really liked being in scouts again.

C took us to the horse races at Lone Star. He got us a table at the restaurant upstairs that not only included a/c but also an entire buffet for the whole day!

We had excellent seats right on the glass directly above the finish line. We had a lot of fun!

We celebrated H's birthday. She hasn't had too many issues with morning sickness.

T brought his girlfriend with us. We had an extra ticket since A was on call that weekend and couldn't come.
