The doctor's report was a mixed review. He is happy with the repair itself, but not confident that we won't still have problems... either now or later. Jason and I are taking this to the Lord and taking one day at a time. I am still in regular pain. We'll see what God does over the next several months as to what (if anything) we do.
The pups... Ace and Dash are doing great! They were nuetered on September 10th and are healing nicely. They get their staples out a week from tomorrow and we can hardly wait. They are STINKY boys and seriously need to be bathed and groomed.
Homeschool is moving along. I am looking forward to getting back into our "normal" routine in the next two weeks and being able to maintain it without all of these appointments and stuff. The SOS curriculum is working for Noah, but I'm just not sure it's what is best for us. We'll see how the rest of the year goes.
Noah, Eliana, and Tabitha have dentist appointments next week on Wednesday. This will be Tabi's first visit. We've also got her speech therapy on Tuesday.
Mudpiebabies... I'm going to start sewing (well, the cutting and prep-work anyway) for my next stocking this coming week. I have some bills to pay and get under control. So, I am praying that a few nice big stockings bring back the customers and bring in some new ones. I need to see if I can get someone to do some banner ads for me.
Knitting... I recently finished a lovely test-knit shawl and will be purchasing yarn for several more. I frogged back a pair of finished longies for Josiah and added to the rise. I'm just about to start the legs again and need to be sure they are longer this time. They would have fit perfect... for about a month... as they were. But, I wanted them to fit the season. I've also got another shawl on the needles and a child sweater. I'm waiting on some handspun yarn to start knitting a sweater for Noah. And, I just saw a perfect pair of fingerless gloves that I think I'll cast on for next. I LOVE knitting!
I have a bunch of things to get done today... so I best be getting off here for now. I have some serious menu planning to do. If anyone has some recipe ideas that might work for picky littles, please feel free to share. Between their pickiness and Jason's diabetes... I have my work cut out for me. But, I am determined to start making proper meals again.
I am most grateful for the place the Lord has me right now. It isn't comfortable... but I know that He is growing me and drawing me closer to Him.
