Where Are They?

I know we've been sporadic in updating our blog lately. We are just enjoying being "normal" people for a little while. I put normal in quotes because, really, what is normal? To us these last couple weeks, "normal" is enjoying the beautiful fall weather. Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. Crisp mornings and evenings, snuggling under the covers, warm sunny days, gorgeous colors on the trees. We've been so busy lately (and not going to the hospital or the doctor's). We've been apple picking (twice!), pumpkin picking, to the zoo (twice!), leaf hunting, the Children's Museum (twice!), playing at the playground, pumpkin painting (twice!), and making many loaves of apple bread (too many times to count, it's so yummy). And that's just in the last two weeks! As I sit here resting while my children are napping, I realize how blessed I am. Life has been throwing us many curve balls lately, so I really grab onto these wonderful times in between those curve balls.

Curve ball: Clare's third cath is scheduled for November 28, and her open heart surgery is November 30. She is being monitored with her cardiologist in between with echos, lung scans, and EKGs. Hopefully we will make it to her planned dates and not end up in the hospital sooner.
