Where's waldo...

Monday night I went on a mad hunt around the house. Missing were both television remotes, my camera cord and little did I know, a whole lot of various game pieces that made their way under the living room furniture. Just peering under the couch was like discovery Christmas in April. I found one remote and that was it, if you discount the game pieces, a couple of misplaced raisins and a tiara.


Tuesday CJ appeared upstairs sans pants and unmentionables. When asked why she was without them she fessed up to having an accident but coincidentally could not remember where she placed the soiled clothing. So I began yet another hunt for one television remote, my missing camera cord and now urine soaked clothes. 


I'm pleased to report CJ's clothing was discovered in her hamper. It was honestly the last placed I looked. I never thought for a moment she would have placed them in the proper location. I even checked all trash cans before I thought to look in her hamper.  I guess I'll give her more credit next time. 


Nonetheless, the camera cord is still M.I.A. There are other means of removing photos from a camera but it is time consuming and apparently I have to delete each photo manually from my camera using the alternative method. 

So the loss of my camera cord has led me to browse at new cameras and I now realize how much better quality cameras are today. I just might have to go shopping sometime soon. Hmm...


But for now I shall enjoy the beautiful sunshine. It has certainly helped me find some of that missing mojo I was whining about the other day.

I went on a mad hunt for a missing shoe of Lincoln's the other day when we were trying to get out the door for kindergarten round-up. It wasn't pretty. I actually had to apologize to Emily before dropping her off so her afternoon wouldn't be ruined. :o(

I ordered a new camera from Amazon last night. I haven't been taking many pictures in general lately, but I discovered a black spot that must be on the lens somewhere, b/c I can't clean it off. My phone camera isn't very good and the transfer process is a bit more tedious. My camera was only 2 years old, but I'm excited about the newer, better features. I'm a fan of the Canon PowerShot line. This will be my 3rd one.

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
