November 11th, 2004. This was the day that Alex had open heart surgery, at just 3 1/2 months old.
Scariest day of my life.
Thankfully, it went well, and the repair is “perfect”, according to his cardiologist. We will be forever grateful to the skilled surgeon who fixed Al’s heart.
Happy Heart Day, buddy. Ten years! How fast the time has gone…

Alex and I have been doing homework for more than an hour; he just now threw in the towel, which suits me fine, because I am ready for bed.
As we were studying for an upcoming Social Studies test, he got a serious case of giggles. Every time the word “crops” came up (which, in reviewing for a test about Native Americans, happens frequently), he nearly fell off the couch giggling. Of course, that only made me giggle, which encouraged him even more.
I’m glad we have a couple more days to review for the test!

I take a lot of photos on my phone. Taking a brief look at my Facebook page will confirm this. I have kids of whom I’m fiercely proud, and I like to share their shining moments with the world.

Tonight we were treated to another terrific performance of “The Wizard of Oz”. Afterward, Addie and I attended a cast party, where she has a wonderful time with new friends and I sat and chatted with fellow “stage moms”.

What an amazing show!
From the set, to the costumes, to each and every cast member…wow! Just fantastic. I hope every person associated with this production is just as proud as I am. More importantly, Addie has been so happy being a part of the cast, and she was just glowing after the show tonight.
Looking forward to the next performance!

After a very long day and evening, I find myself still awake after midnight. I am exhausted. And a little hungry.

I voted in this election; I actually voted early. Today, I am thankful for the opportunity to vote.

Addie was fortunate enough to be cast in an upcoming production of The Wizard of Oz, which will be performed by our church’s amazing drama group. Watching this show come together has been such a pleasure, and Addie just glows when she talks about it. She has a role as a munchkin in the Lullabye League, which has been just perfect for her: not too overwhelming, but enough stage time to satisfy her growing love of performing.
Although I’ve seen and heard a lot of rehearsals over the last six weeks, I am excited to see the finished production, which begins this Thursday evening. If you are local, I highly encourage you to join us for one of the shows. The cast is fantastic, it’s a free show, and it’s The Wizard of Oz, so you know you’ll love the story.

Time change. I don’t like it. I am confused and tired.
