Our Life & Times

Where has this week gone? Whew! Tomorrow is already Friday. I had to have my physical done today and I got a tetnus shot. Everything seems fine, but I have to go back in 2 weeks to get my thyroid retested and all my other physical kind of bloodwork, like screening for cholesterol, etc. Konnor's ankle seems alot better. We let him go to school today with just an ace bandage and no air cast. I will be picking him from school soon so we'll see how he did without his air cast...
No big plans for the weekend. We will go to Konnor's football game, although I am 99% sure he won't be playing because of his ankle, but we are going to let him do a "no contact" practice tomorrow night. Brian took our pool down yesterday for the winter, so that was kind of sad. I remember being SO EXCITED to have a pool this summer, and I couldn't wait to get in it for the first time! The summer just seemed to fly by, just like everything else does.

Oh yeah, and it wouldn't be like me to forget to mention the sadness that happened in the Amish school this week. I was born in Lancaster, PA, and my sister and her family and my dad's side of the family still live there. I was just blown away by the sad news of the school shooting there. I pray that the victims still recovering will heal and be able to live normal lives, and I pray that that small community can rebuild its strength to move on through this tragedy. I hope that we have seen the last of this terrible kind of act towards children. Three school shootings in a week's time is ridiculous and sad, and I feel there definitely needs to be more done to keep our children safe.
