Quick Update--10/10/09

Hi Everyone--

The past couple of weeks have been a wee bit stressful... On Thursday, October 1, we learned that Chelsea has mono-- right before AHS homecoming, tennis sectionals, and play auditions. To make a long story short, she slept through the homecoming parade and game, but I let her go to the dance on Saturday, October 3, for an hour or so because the doctor had initially even cleared her to play tennis as of that Sunday. Unfortunately, it really set back her progress, and she ended up missing this past week of school-- as well as tennis sectionals and play auditions (heavy sigh...).

Otherwise, we've been busy with Ellie-Kate (of course!), soccer (Emmy), work, etc. Emmy's soccer team is doing great (3-1 winning record thus far!), and Ellie-Kate is LOVING opportunities to play with other kids. We go to Wee Wigglers at the rec center and visit with other toddlers in the church nursery, and she's on Cloud Nine!! We have season tickets to the OU women's volleyball games, and the younger girls really enjoy going. Ellie-Kate is *NOT* sure what to make of our mascot, the bobcat, though :)

We're glad that we have another October holiday (Mid-Autumn Festival) to celebrate, and we did so by going to the Chinese restaurant. We're slowly introducing Ellie-Kate to the idea of Halloween, and we're hoping that she get excited about wearing the Boo costume (from Monster's Inc.) that we "won" on e-bay.

Hope that all is well with our blog readers!! We'll try to post more pictures and update soon :)
