Cast Away

I'm happy to report Andrew has his cast off!! wooooohoooooooo!

I'm also noticing a huge improvement in his attitude, which is big for me. He smiles and laughs and his just glad. He is experiencing a bit of soreness, itchiness and skin irritation-all normal according to the doctors.

We have a couple of more weeks of cautiousness-making sure he won't fall down the stairs or get pummelled by the dog-so that he doesn't break his leg again.

But he can take baths-HALLELUJAH!- and swim and next week he can try to stand! I'm so pleased let me tell you.

I'm also getting ready to take a long trip with Devon across many oceans and continents to visit my husband's parents in Australia. They are serving a mission for our church and we are truly excited to see them in action! It will be summer there, so I'm looking for some summer outfits that -ah hem-fit. I can't wait to see them and visit Brisbane! I want to see a kangaroo, the great barrier reef, see the temple...so much to do!

So that will be after Thanksgiving. And after Faye's birthday....one thing after another huh?

Love you all, Sonia XXOO

Andrew in the News

Hi All!

Andrew was featured in Wauwatosa NOW last week when a photographer came to take photos of the students participating in a Teddy Bear picnic. No doubt he was singled out because of his cast, although you can't see it in this picture. Hope you enjoy! He is adorable!

So You Think You Can Dance

As part of Faye's birthday, I bought tickets to go see the SYTYCD Tour. Faye and I went to the Bradley Center and watched our favorite dancers dance on stage. It was really good! We saw some old dances and some new dances. We also got popcorn and a pretzel to share. Unfortunately, it was late and a school night, so Faye and I left at intermission and rode the bus home. We got in at 10pm and Faye went straight to bed.

Maybe we would have enjoyed it more if she was a bit older. And maybe she'd enjoy it more if she wasn't so tired! Either way, we loved to watch the dancing. We have that both in common.

New Hair Cut

Well,

I had a good friend of mine cut my hair. I was in the mood for a change and this is exactly what I needed. Thanks to Sarah my hairstylist-friend for giving me an updated, funky look. I no longer look like frumpy mummy, but trendy and cute! So what do you think?

November news

Hey All!
So Andrew will get his cast off on Friday November 16th! We are all so excited! He is going to have it cut off, x-rayed and then we'll find out if he'll need another one on, or if he'll be fine without it! I'm so glad that we'll be able to get him in a bath and in the pool. Something fun to do!
Faye's 7th birthday is coming up! I will be taking her to the "So you think you can dance" tour in Milwaukee and she and I are really excited. I can't believe she will be seven! She will be having a sleepover for her party too. It is the weekend of Thanksgiving, so I don't know how many girls can come, but even if one girl shows she will be happy.
I'm adding a photo like I promised. I didn't end up wearing a costume instead I dressed up. Tell me what you think. This is taken at the Trick or Treating at the Medical College on Halloweeen.

Later, Sonia XXOO
