Week in Review

Since we're so far behind, we'll take it by days. Last Monday, Melinda went to the doctor. The baby is doing great. Mommy is doing much better. She's off her IVs, throwing up rarely, and suffering only from pregnancy onset lactose intolerance. Laura attended her music and movement class at the library and didn't flinch at all that mommy couldn't stay.
Tuesday, Laura went to her story and craft time at the library. We made necklaces from fruit loops but only half actually made it on Laura's necklace. The other half were in her tummy.

Wednesday was a boring day except that Jason finally got everything squared away (stinking bureaucracy made this way more difficult than it should have been) for graduation. Only three more months to go! Melinda read a couple of books and is currently enjoying the Pendragon series.

Thursday and Friday Melinda taught play school. The doggy puppets were a grand hit. Friday evening we got to go out to dinner with Melinda's sister and brother-in-law, Tana and Matt. It was great to catch up with them and hear first hand how Ben is doing in the MTC. Later that evening brought the bi-monthly girl's night. Remarkably, Melinda made it home by 1:00 am.

Saturday Melinda attended Stake Women's Conference with her mom. It was very uplifting. That night, Melinda was sick passing a kidney stone so Jason and Laura got to go swimming at "the beach" (swimming pool) for her cousin Keslie's birthday party. She was a little timid at first but got used to it after a while and can't wait to go back to "the beach" and swim some more.

This week so far has brought the passing of two kidney stones by Melinda. Laura has enjoyed her library classes and play school. Poor Jason is still suffering through Physics.
