Sunday Sums

Well, we stuck with the potty training, and I am happy to report that things are going very well. I learned something this week: training underwear is hard to find in the stores. I was looking for the super absorbent type, and could only find them at Babies R Us.

We are still waiting on the surgeons to set a date for my MIL's surgery. Evidently, there are some scheduling problems between the breast surgeon and the plastic surgeon, so they are working on that. We were hoping to hear a date last week, and now we are hoping it will be set sometime this week. They really don't want her to go too long without any kind of treatment, as they don't want to give the cancer an iota of a chance in coming back and spreading. So hopefully we'll have an update on that soon.

You know the old adage about it raining as soon as you wash your car? Well, IT'S TRUE - at least in San Antonio. We washed both vehicles yesterday and of course it rained today. But it was worth it as we will take as many of these cooler days as we can get. But it was worth it as we had a great worship service today and had lunch with some friends at their house. We didn't leave until 4:30 pm, so Lauryn will be in bed early tonight!

I really wish I had more family updates, but we are in waiting mode right now, just ticking off the days until we can make plans to go be with my mother-in-law. The girls are finishing up some of their school work. They have finished their science and their grammar books. We plan on planting a small vegetable container garden soon, so that will be their summer science project. We officially have 3 more weeks of school left. By then Rome will have fallen and their other books will either be finished or to the point I had planned on stopping for the year.

Our plan is to then take off the rest of May and June. This will give us plenty of time to be with our family, for me to get ready for the next school year, and to enjoy the visit of some international friends. Then we will resume again after 4th of July. But we are all looking forward to a nice break!
