Jon and me and my cotton candy!
Shad and Steve
Sam and his bear..."a boy and his bear"
Selah had a great day, she moved towards the music therapist (Selah seems to like her WAY more than the OT!) and she was moving one arm at a time. Last night she had 3 times she 'stormed" but she was able to get herself down without meds. She was alert all day, hoping she will be alert tomorrow too!
All the paperwork is in from the doctor who is doing the research, now we're waiting on Strong's to do their part of the paperwork. It takes a few days for things like this to get set up. She should start the fish oil by next week. We are just waiting with great anticipation!!!!
We were given tickets to the Barum & Bailey Circus and went tonight. Jon had always wanted to take the boys to the circus. Steve & Shad had such a good time they were on the edge of the seat watching everything. It was good to be able to go with them. My dear friend Charlene babysat the little ones for us, not sure they'd enjoy the circus too much. It was rather overwhelming to me and I'm such an animal person, I'm not sure what I think about animals doing tricks. There was a group of animal activists outside and it made me wonder. However the animals looked very well taken care of and healthy. I think B&B takes care of their animals, it's just more the idea of it that bothers me. I'm close to being a tree hugger to be honest...although I am a conservative Republican most of the time .."gasp" I have voted Democrat before tho'.....I don't necessarily believe the Republican party is God's party all of the time LOL (but I do believe that the Republican party has a more God honoring platform than the Democratic party does) And please know I am voting for Romney!!!!
I say I'm a tree hugger but I also know one day this earth will "dissolve like snow" but I HATE to see God's creation defaced. I absolutely HATE new shopping malls, strip centers, housing developments....... It actually makes me sick at times to see new housing developments being built!!!! If I could, I'd be a vegan LOL but I'm such a hyprocritc because I end up going to the new shopping malls ( but not shopping strip centers or new housing developments) and I eat meat....
Oh my....let me hush and get to bed! We want to get over to Selah really early in the morning and it is hard to get the kids up, dressed and breakfast and get over there by 9 am!
Oh I totally understand! I wish I could be at least vegetarian but *sigh* I like meat too much. BUT we do try to buy natural/organic/cruelty-free when possible.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to the circus in ages (and it usually comes to Lklnd almost every year) and yeah I do get twinges because I love animals (also a "crunchy tree huggin mama" lol). But at the same time, I think there is value in places like Sea World--it made me fall in love with marine biology (even though I went on to be an English major). I feel like as long as the animals are treated kindly and humanely then it's ok.
I'm not a PETA member but I do think they do some good, some bad. So I know I have to teach my kids right and live by example on how I treat animals and talk to them about how we get our food.
I'm so glad the kids had a great time though :) They look darling!!
YOu all looked excited to be at the circus...When I was young, the circus came to our town in central Wis.
ReplyDeleteand did a parade through town to the fairgrounds...Back in the day when they set up tents at fairgrounds....Oh how excited I was....Thanks for sharing your evening with us...
And, I am sooooo excited to see what God will do next. I am so encouraged by your posts ... I pray for Selah and you post progress reports....So, I pray specifically for things I would not have prayed for before...God is working in my heart as well while I pray and for that I am sooo humbled...
Thank you so much for your faithfulness...
Love from NC
You crack me up! I just knew we were similar creatures- AMEN for cotton candy- BIG BAG OF COURSE! And on several other points too :)
ReplyDeleteThis post is hilarious!! So glad you all had fun...and that you are a republican, and that you eat meat! But per your next post, "What's it to me anyway?"
ReplyDeleteStill praying here and delighting in EVERY milestone for Selah! Makes my heart so happy!
