Doctors Appointments

This week has been busy and full of ups and downs.  Anna had an appointment for a physical for school so she could do sports - while there we asked them to make a recommendation for someone she could see about her knees.  So on Friday she had an appointment with a sports medicine doctor who x-rayed her and and checked her and gave her some exercises and stretches that she can do to help.  The plan is to try those and see if they help and if it doesn't help enough, then we will get her in to see a physical therapist.  

David loves having his picture taken and he was parked on the window sill looking cute and telling me to take a picture - that is the whole reason for this pic - but he's cute!  

Tuesday was wonderful and stressful - Eileen was having a VERY rough day and was very stressed and anxious, so I went in and sat with her for awhile.  We had an appointment set up for her with a therapist on Thursday.  It seemed to go pretty well and she was feeling much better about life in general afterwards.  She will meet with him again and hopefully he will help her figure out what things make it worse and what things make it better and help her learn ways to manage the bad days.  

Tuesday we also got to have Claire and some of the kids stop by for lunch and playing on their way back to Washington.  It was so good to see them and have them over!  Dan came home from work early so he could see them and hang out with us, then he took Eileen out for a drive to chat and clear her head.  

Wednesday was a no school day which was fun - we had a nice quiet day around the house, and then in the evening, the girls had their youth activity.  They had a fun get-to-know the bishopbric activity which was a lot of fun - it was also a lot of fun being together with all the young women instead of divided into classes.  

Saturday, was Tiana's baby shower!  It was so fun to get to see her and chat with her and the other ladies there!  We had a great time!  

James has been having tooth problems - but we can't get a dentist to answer us and set up an appointment for him grrrr....  Poor kid is in pain and cranky because of it!  

Sunday was wonderful!  We had a great ward conference, and great meetings.  We finally found James' primary class link (it had gone to my junk mail) and David just loves his primary meeting and his teachers!  

In the afternoon, we went to the Tualatin Hills Nature Reserve and had fun walking around and chatting - we even got to see a deer walking around and crossing the path!  Anna found Big Foot (it was really just a tree that kinda looked like a big person) and we all had a great time!
