random thoughts and news

1. yes, it’s a tracing...but isn’t it a good one? not sure which kid...found it as i was looking through some papers on my desk.

2. heard back from my oncologist...uh’s review of the path slides pretty much match the clinic’s...so still no chemo. yay!

3. it’s that time of the year again...sammy has started baseball and soccer. fortunately, the games don’t overlap too much. some of the practices will, but we’ll manage. i can’t wait till it starts to get warmer out...it is really fun to watch him play. plus, lots of nice parents to hang out with.

4. olivia has started a volleyball clinic in mentor. it looked like they did some really good drills. i know olivia was a little sore over the weekend! she is looking forward to some sand volleyball with her dad this summer.

5. did some more genetic testing last week...will know the results in 3-4 weeks. supposedly a bit more accurate than the one i did 5 years ago. i don’t think insurance covers this one, but i think i still feel better knowing.

6. got to see the inside of our neighbor, topper’s, house over the weekend. amazing. he has done so much work, it is hard to believe it’s the same house. he also shared some of the other things he has been working on...animal rights and honey.

7. finished the help last week and started the hour i first believed on my new nook. thanks again to all my amazing friends...its very fun, and much lighter to carry in my purse. and thanks to amy for all the great book selections.

8. saw the balto exhibit at the cleveland museum of natural history. as i’ve mentioned before, sam LOVES balto. although neither kid seemed all that excited to actually see the real balto. (well, stuffed balto) bri and i liked it though. and it made me more proud of cleveland that people worked so hard to bring balto here. if you don’t know the story, check it out. it’s really pretty interesting.

9. 71 degrees this coming thursday. :)

10. planning ahead...brian and back 9 at marcelitas for cinco de mayo. they even have there picture on the website! that’s brian...right in front of the flat screen tv. (?!)
