My recovery is going well. The doctor removed my catheter last wednesday... couldn't be happier about that. I have been cleared to be up for roughly 5 minutes every hour. Basically long enough to use the bathroom and get some snack or drink, but then the rest of my time is spent on the couch. A reality I am not particularly fond of. I am getting bored, but am determined to follow doctor's directions so I heal properly this time around. I know, not exactly normal for me!

We couldn't be happier about the lack of pain. Afterall I can finally sleep through the night, and am not so cranky in the morning anymore. Still not a morning glory, but better.

Nate has been great about everything! He has been chasing after the kids and doing some of my chores. The kids have picked up some of the slack too so at least I don't feel like my house may burn to the ground if one more piece of paper falls near an outlet.

School is out next Thursday so we will see how things go with all the kids home and wanting to be entertained. Luckily we have fantastic neighbors who don't mind us crashing their pools. Will be a great alternative while I heal in the next couple weeks.

Thanks for all the thoughts and checking in on us!

Cyanne finished out her soccer season last weekend. She had a blast with the group of girls on her team. None of them had any team experience, but all meshed well and progress was quick.




She was one of the most aggressive girls for sure! The final game she scored 6 of the 8 points to help her team win the game! That afternoon she had an awards party at one of the girls houses. They had everything on the pool deck so everybody had a blast. She got a medal for participation and recognition for being the most scoring player on the team. A fact she was very proud of.



At the end of each year one child from each classroom is given an award in a huge school-wide assembly. These kids are chosen for a wide array of reasons.





This year Ms. Bahr chose Cyanne to receive the "Keller All Star- Exceptional Outstanding Student" award. Siting that, "She has made many fine contributions to our class and is an inspiration to her classmates. Cyanne has made marvelous progress academically all year long and has an excellent attitude towards school". In truth her fantastic teacher is her motivation to do so well. She has had a strong influence on her... we will miss her next year!
