Back to Normal

Well we survived the holidays and the beginning of the new year and the first snow of the year and now we are back on track and back to our regular routine. We had fun playing in the snow and enjoyed the short week. Nathan is out of school on Monday and so is Donald but we don't have anything planned so not sure what we are going to do if we do anything. We might just hang out at the house for a while and then go visit Memaw and Granddad. Memaw had her foot surgery and she is doing fine but cannot drive for two weeks and should stay off of her foot as much as possible(but for those of you that know my Mom know she is not staying off her foot as much as she should, it is hard for her to be idle).

There was an awards assembly at school yesterday and Nathan got another Citizenship award. He is doing very good in school and it makes Donald and Me very happy. He has made such improvements since he is now taking a bigger dose of medicine. It is amazing what a drug can do for a child and the change it can make in them. I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

Snow Day

Yeah! Today was our first snow day of the winter. We got probably over 4 inches of snow. We did go out this morning and had a fun time in the snow. It was not the best for using the saucer but was good for snowball making and it is very very COLD. Schools are closed again tomorrow because it did not really get above freezing today and the sun did not come out. So we will get a short week at school this week. Memaw was supposed to have outpatient foot surgery this morning but she postponed it. The hospital is just down the street not a far drive but she was thinking about walking in the parking lot and did not want to take a chance of her or Granddad falling so she figured it was not an emergency so she is going to reschedule it.

Nathan has been doing very well in school since he has returned from the Christmas break. We started Nathan on Focalin XR 5mg a few weeks before the break and his teachers said they could tell a difference but it wore off too soon. So we started him on 10mg during Christmas break and his teachers tell us this last week which was the first back after the break was a great week and Nathan did very well. It makes Donald and Me happy because we like this med. because it really does not change his personality or eating or sleeping. So we are really praying that this is the right med for him and he continues to do very well.

I guess that updated everyone. I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everyone. We survived another Christmas and another New Year's Eve. We took all the Christmas decorations and trees down and put everything away yesterday so the house looks a little bare(and it always seems like we have more room). Nathan goes back to school Monday and I guess I will start getting back in the swing of things and getting back on the regular schedule. We went to Texas the Monday after Christmas and got to see Donald's family we came home on Wed. We went over to some friends house last night for dinner and got home a little after 9:30 and put Nathan to bed and Donald and I watched the ball drop in Times Square(11:00 our time) and then went to bed. We heard some fireworks at midnight. We all slept in this morning. We are going over to Memaw and Granddad's for dinner tonight(Memaw always wants to make sure everyone eats some black eyed peas so she always has us over on New Years Day). I hope everyone has a good week.
