Monday - Well it was back to the grind today. The girls were back to school. Then this evening Alyssa had dance.
Tuesday - Nothing much to report today! Gotta love these "boring" days!
Wednesday - Today Trystan had a field trip to see the St. Louis Symphony. I was a little disappointed to find out that she and I had to ride a completely separate bus from the rest of the kids. Then when we arrived we had to sit in a completely separate section than the rest of the 2nd graders. She was very upset when we got there and saw that she couldn't sit up with the rest of the children. But, Molly and Cadence decided to come down where we were and sit with Trystan and I so she wouldn't be by herself. What thoughtful little girls they are! On the way back from the symphony they stopped at Troy McDonald's for lunch and then arrived back at the school about 2:20. Just enough time to end the day. :) Despite the little bit of segragation, we ended up having a very good day!
Thursday - Tracy and I went to parent-teacher conferences for both girls this evening. Got good reports on both of them. Trystan is slowly getting better at reading and math. Alyssa is doing beautifully in every way, shape and form! So thankful God has given us beautiful, well-behaved, and intelligent girls.
Friday - So glad it is friday! Bring on the weekend!!

Saturday - Woke up this morning and had breakfast at the hotel. After breakfast, we were back on the road heading to Nashville, TN. We got to the hotel about 2:15 p.m. only to find out that our room wasn't ready yet. Check in wasn't to be until 3:00. 3:00 came and went and still our room wasn't ready. Finally about quarter after four our room was ready. Just enough time for us to prepare to get dressed and eat before heading to the Grand Ole Opry. The show at the Opry was great! It was my first time going and Tracy's second. Trace Adkins and Blake Shelton performed and Blake Shelton was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. It was all very impressive and a great time! The girls also said they had a great time with Grandma Watson. She took them to Mills and around and about today.
Sunday - We were back on the road coming home this morning. We each couldn't wait to see the girls. The girls went to church with Grandma Watson and were then picked up by Grandma and Grandpa Rieke. They took the girls to the Great Godfrey Corn Maze. They had a fabulous time. We were all very tired and decided to stay home and not go to AWANAs this evening.

Monday - Dropped the kids off at school this morning. I then did my shopping at both CVS and IGA. Came home and put all of the groceries away, ate lunch, and cleaned house. I went into town about an hour earlier than usual to volunteer. Then brought the girls home to do homework and then back into town to take Alyssa to dance.
Tuesday - Nothing much to report today.
Wednesday - We picked up the girls early today because we had to drive to Chicago for Tracy's Uncle Graham's funeral. We arrived at the hotel about 6:30, enough time to change and head over to the wake at the funeral home. After the wake we went to Portellio's for a nightime snack, then back over to the hotel to go to bed.
Thursday - This morning we woke up and went to the funeral. Tracy was asked to be a paubearer. After they finished at the cemetary we went for lunch with the rest of the Watson family. Once we finished lunch, we were back on the road coming home. We finally arrived home about 8 p.m. Enough time to get the girls their shower/bath, finish homework, and get to bed.
Friday - This evening the girls went to stay with Grandma Watson while Tracy took me on a trip for our anniversary. A long needed time away together, just the two of us. Tracy planned the entire trip. We arrived in Paduka, Kentucky about 8:30 or so. Stopped there to rest our heads for the evening.

Monday - No school today. Today we tood Trystan for another six week checkup with Dr. McDonald. Did x-rays to check the bone. Good news! Looks as if the hairline fracture has healed and the bone is continuing to grow. The doctor has released Trystan to 50% weight bearing on her right leg. She will still have to use the walker, but was so excited to hear the news. We are praising the Lord for the small steps. As soon as we returned home from the doctor's appointment, Alyssa changed her clothes and we headed into town for dance.
Tuesday - Trystan did some walking with the aid of her walker today at school! :D
Wednesday - Today Alyssa came home from school saying that she saw Trystan using her walker and walking out to the playground for recess and how proud she was of her. Don't think Alyssa will ever know how proud we are of her!
Thursday - Volunteered at the school today and went to eat lunch with my cousins Crystal and Beth. This evening Alyssa had dance. Trystan and I had to go to the grade school for a meeting while she was at dance. We then picked her up and came home for the evening.
Friday - This evening Tracy, myself, and the girls took my sister out to dinner for her 40th birthday. Had a very nice time together.

Saturday - Today we went to the last 5th grade Jr. Comet football game to watch Justin play. Boy it was hot out! After the game we came home and the girls played a little. This evening we went to a bonfire at Tim and Lori's house. The girls played with Cade, Josie, and Russel. We all had a really good time. Saw some people we haven't seen in quite a while and others we see frequently. Loved it!!
Sunday - We didn't get up in enough to make it to Sunday School. But, we did make it to church. After church we came home and ate lunch. Soon after finishing lunch, the girls and I went to Eckert's. We got there and it was crazy busy!! We thankfully found a hadicap spot to park in. Went and got in line for the wagon ride out to the orchard and patch. Rode the wagon out to the apple orchard. It was difficult pushing the wheelchair through the orchard, but we managed. The girls were able to pick apples and have a great time. We got back onto the wagon and the tractor took us to the pumpkin patch. Got off the wagon and were able to easily push Trystan and her chair through the patch. The girls each found a pumpkin. Then, we got back onto the wagon and they took us back. There we paid for our apples and pumpkins. The girls were pretty hot and tired and were ready to go. We got back into the car, stopped for a bite to eat and headed to AWANAs. At AWANAs Trystan's lesson was on creation. One of the messages tonight was that God doesn't make mistakes. This message reinforced what we had told Trystan about her cancer. God didn't make a mistake when he gave her a cancerous tumor in her leg. Thank you Lord for the many blessings you give us everyday.

Saturday afternoon we had family pictures done of the entire Watson side. Alyssa did beautifully. Trystan had a rough start. She was upset becuase it was cold and she had to sit on the ground. By the end of pictures she was having a great time and didn't want it to end! Go figure!!! After pictures we all went to Grandma Watson's for dinner.
Sunday was another great day. We went to Sunday School and church. Came home after service for lunch. That evening I took the girls to AWANAs. The theme was to wear your favorite sports attire. The girls and I all went in our Greenville Comet Football shirts. So glad they are doing theme nights now. The girls have always loved AWANAs but they are even more excited now!

Monday 9/27 - Tracy is still very sick today. He did however get an antibiotic and prescription strength pills for his terrible cough. The girls had a good day at school today and this evening Alyssa had dance. Trystan and I ran to the grocery store while she was there.
Tuesday 9/28 - This evening we went to NASA family night. Trystan wanted to do the scavanger hunt. She did pretty well with it too! Alyssa ran around with friends and showed up at the end to help us get the ones we were having difficulty with. They had a great time!
Wednesday 9/29 - Trystan got a 100% on her spelling test! She has to study hard, but seems to be doing a little better all the time. :)
Thursday 9/30 - This evening Alyssa had dance. Trystan does her studying in the car while sissy is at dance. I had told her that if she didn't complain and got the rest of her homework done well before Alyssa was finished dancing, I would take her to rent a couple of movies. Lo and behold, no problems! We had enough time after she finished her homework to go to the movie rental store, wash the car, and get gas before Alyssa was finished!
Friday 10/1 - Grandma Rieke took Alyssa to the Cardinal game this evening. Trystan was a little upset because sissy was going to have a ballpark hot dog and she wasn't. :( Tracy and I let Trystan choose where she wanted to eat dinner this evening. Of all places she wanted Burger King! So we drove to Vandalia and ate at Burger King. After dinner, she wanted to go to Wal-Mart to "look around." This is her version of window shopping. She almost had daddy talked in to getting her an I-pod! Almost... I was able to get a couple of things that we needed though so it wasn't a worthless trip. :) We then came home and Trystan and I played the Wii.
It's been a GREAT week!!!
