Becky.. sorry to hear that DD's back is still on hold. an she has to wear the brace. Eric has a friend that is wearing the brace too. not a fun thing. Hoping she doesn't need surgery and she gets better..
So many hugs to her 
I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers that she doesn't have to have surgery. Please keep us updated - as you know, we are always here to listen!!!!
Her and my mom went to see it during the summer, and she wasn't impressed. I'm going to have to rent it, because I really want to see it. If she doesn't want to watch it, then she can stay upstairs
Do you think Katie will like it, or will there be scary parts for her?
Because I need another cookie don't you know.
Mac - I got my email notification too
How are your boys doing? Did you have them all home for the holiday?
I've been meaning to ask, and then I forget.
Well friends, I gotta go jump into the shower
Have a good day today!!
Okay, let me give the puppy picture a try!!
Cody is a very smart puppy and is about 99% potty trained. We keep an eye on him to make sure he don't sneak off and do his business out of sight. But, he can "sit" already, and he knows what I mean when I say "downstairs" and "outside".
We are obviously back from DD's appointment. The good news is "her back looks the same as when she arrived". The bad news is one of her lesser curves has gotten worse. As of right now, we are just going to continue the bracing but if her curves increase any, it's going to be time to talk surgery. Our next appointment is in 6 monhts. So, we definitely need to make sure she's wearing her brace as much as possible -- the doctor said the longer the better. I know there have been occassions where I've let her slack off a little but we are going to have to be stricter now just from the way the doctor said "she has a really big curve" sounds like we are looking closer & closer toward surgery. Keep the prayers that doesn't have to happen.
Now that's over with & I had a tooth pulled on Tuesday, so all the medical junk is sort of behind us. I do have to go back on Tuesday to make sure everything is healing with my tooth since it was a tough one to get out. It was in really bad shape. I will be getting an implant tooth to replace it.
Next on the agenda is DS-10's birthday is next Saturday. I'm still trying to get in touch with 2 of his friends as I think we are going to hit Chuck E Chese for his birthday -- HELP ME NOW....
I don't know anyone who has gone, DD doesn't know if anyone else in choir is applying, so once again, she gets to go solo & randomly get a roommate. She has never gone to this camp, just Girl Scout resident camp where she never knows anyone either ahead of time. Sometimes she will see girls she knows there but they aren't usually doing the same camp she is are just there at the same time.
But I know it won't last to long - it's just a tease!!!!!
I'm going to enjoy these low keys days in the winter, because when the nicer weather comes, they are very few and far between. 
Now I have to think of something we can grill too 
I'll send tons of PD their way to find new jobs soon 
, so I'm hoping for clearer skies by the time he sets off. This family
will be in WDW come June.
and do some shopping/dining. Should be an excellent day
I hope he got there safely. I told Stephanie her new DS is mine, and she can only have it when she asks M-F now that school is back in session. She wasn't very happy with that. since that thing has been attached to her hand the last 2 weeks 
I don't think we'll do obedience training or anything as he seems like such a low key puppy. If I see behavioral issues crop up, we might. He isn't a very good leash walker that's for sure, but we could work on that this summer. I was going to call her this week, so I'll tell her she's missed!
Not run around from ride to ride!!!
