New experiences...

-
This past weekend we packed a whole lot into three short days.
Isn't it funny that even three day weekends sometimes don't feel long enough?

Anyway...

We took Dina to her first college football game. ISU v UNI
Yes, I swam for UNI and yes, I still support UNI but I sported ISU gear because Matt has several big ties to ISU and I needed to look like the supportive wife. (FYI - Matt did NOT pressure me to do this.)

Our first Ames stop was Buffalo Wild Wings for some, well...wings!
We prefer boneless and I prefer spicy. Matt likes his with sugar and no spice.
It turns out Dina loves spice too and the two of us together braved the second hottest spice on the menu.
No problemo, people! Next time we are conquering the hottest.


After touring the ISU campus and visiting the bookstore for sweatshirts we hit the tailgates.
The weather was crummy but our spirits were high.



The football game was actually hideously boring until the last 7 minutes of the game where both teams finally moved the ball. I think half the crowd was falling asleep.

****************************

Despite never golfing once her life, Dina golfed twice this weekend.
We went out Friday night with the little girls and Monday afternoon Dina and I golfed with my sister, Lindsay.


I'm not sure who has more fun driving the golf cart...Kate, CJ or Dina...
(Actually I really like driving, too!)



As usual the little girls were tired of golfing after two holes so they did this...


Thankfully we were the only ones on the course so they could run wild without worry of flying golf balls.
The little girls ran themselves silly; hanging from willow tree branches, nose diving into the grass, giggling hysterically.
It was a fun night followed by bed for the littles and a movie for the adults.

I hope your long weekend was just as fun!

The dark day of June 27th...

 June 12, 2023 We typically don't share a lot of updates about Kate's health, primarily because she wants to remain "a normal teenager." However, we still get asked how Kate is doing and I started thinking maybe it's okay to share updates now and again. Most people care about her and our family, some others could maybe be labeled as "tragedy junkies," but I'm going to operate under the assumption that most people have the best of intentions.  Today is June 12th and we are quickly approaching the dreaded dark day of June 27th. Have you watched, "Gilmore Girls?" It's a witty, comforting television show from the early 2000's. In it one of the main characters has what is dubbed, "a dark day." This is a day the character dreads each year and in response he goes into hiding from the world with no communication. Well for Kate, and the rest of us to some degree, the dark day of the year is June 27th and that date is closing in on

The other side of the dark day...

 Kate's dark day of Jun 27th came and went like any other day. Kate swam 100 fly in the Independence meet and finished 1st (she was the only swimmer in her age group to sign up, but who cares about details) and then she and Matt hopped in the car to drive up to Rochester for next-day appointments. The worst part of Kate's dark day was probably Matt trying out the Grimace meal at McDonald's. It was death by milkshake and yet he drank the whole thing. Can't let food go to waste, or something.  We braved June 27th with dread and came out on the other side. We enter year three into the cancer life. Two years of appointments, scans, blood draws, IVs, endless chemotherapies, daily medications. It is difficult to remember life before all of this, when Kate was able to get up at 6 a.m. to swim, play basketball, ride her bike, go to school and chase her sisters. We've all adapted even though no one wants to. Hand to God I keep hoping to have a tantrum and wake up from whatev

October things...

It has not been the easiest October on record. Kate had a couple of hospital visits to Rochester but she is somewhat better at the moment. She continues with chemotherapy and has not been back to school for quite some time but she is doing her best to set aside time for online school work between naps, loving on cats, and hanging out with her family. I was able to get the girls to visit their great grandma in western Iowa a few weeks back. Here's Claudia shortly after arriving at great grandma's house. She is very into jewelry and lots of it. Grandma had several questions for her about the number of bracelets and thankfully Claudia loves talking about them. Many she has made, some were gifted to her...it's a lovely hodgepodge of middle school girl goodies. Clearly the girls and I were blessed with height genes from relatives not named great grandma. We spent time relaxing, taking four wheeler rides, eating candy and we also received a visit from my aunt and uncle. Aunt Deb
