Been a bit since I've blogged. Having my surgery threw everything for a loop for awhile. It is all getting back to normal though, so it's time to get back to putting my thoughts out there. :)
Things went well with my foot surgery. I'm still in recovery mode, but hoping that in the end the pain will be gone. It does seem to be getting better, so I am very hopeful! I can almost walk down stairs like a normal person. Stairs are still one of the most painful things to navigate. That and standing for longer than 5-10 minutes in one place. It no longer hurts just to put shoes on, so I take that as a good sign. I have to say that I am very grateful for my sweet husband and my kids throughout my recovery. They have taken such good care of me and each other.
Christmas went well. Thanks to one of my bff's and my little sis I was able to get all the presents wrapped. The kids all loved their presents and had a great time putting together all of their Legos. We have Middle Earth in Legos at our house! They have had a blast playing with them and I love it. My hubby got me Merry Christmas Alex Cross by James Patterson, a sketch book, and a drawing kit. I haven't broken them out yet, but I am really looking forward to it! I haven't drawn in a while and I miss it. My mom gave me two notebooks full of family history stuff. One of the coolest presents ever! I am enjoying the chance to go through them and read about my ancestors.
Angel had to do a family history project for school. The notebooks my mom gave me were a big help! Angel put a lot of work into her project and got the highest grade possible on it. She learned a lot about her grandparents when she interviewed them. We're hoping to frame the family tree she made. We are wanting to print off pictures of different family members back many generations to hang around the family tree.
A couple weeks ago our elementary school had a mother/son bowling night and a father/daughter dance. The boys and I had a fantastic time going bowling. Technically they bowled and I took pictures while cheering them on. My foot isn't quite up to bowling yet. After bowling we went out for pancakes and ice cream. It was a great night! The next night was the father/daughter dance. The girls got all dressed up fancy and had beautiful wrist corsages. They went out to a mexican restaurant with their dad and their uncle, who was Angel's date for the night. At the dance they posed on the red carpet, went on a horse drawn carriage ride, ate some tasty chocolate dipped fruit, and danced the night away. I am so glad that we have a school that provides us with these types of activities. They are truly memory makers!
We've got the Blue & Gold banquet coming up this week, the Destination Imagination tournament for Picasso and Princess the following week, and the first Rapids home game of the season that night. We're really excited about these things. I love being able to support my kids in their endevours and spending time with them.
That's my recap post surgery. Now it's time to help Picasso make cheese quesadillas for lunch as we are spending the day snowed in while the blizzard is blowing outside. I truly love my life. It isn't perfect, or stress free, but it is fantastic.
