Saturday - While Tracy was hunting today the girls and I headed to Edwardsville to find the girls new winter coats, Christmas outfits, and an elf outfit for Trystan. We hit Target, Kohl's, and Michael's. We found the Christmas outfits and coats at Kohl's and a Santa/Elf hat at Michael's. It wasn't exactly the "elf" hat I was looking for but it's gonna have to do if I can't find anything else! Then, this evening, my mom came over to watch the girls so Tracy and I could go out for a couple of hours. We stopped by Dave Moore's benefit and then went for dinner at a local sit-down restaurant.
Sunday - Today while Tracy was out hunting, the girls and I headed to Sunday School and church. We came home afterwards and ate lunch. Then later went to AWANAs!

Monday - It was back to a regular routine today. I thank you Lord for a "regular routine!" Alyssa really seems to be enjoying dance this year.
Tuesday - We were on our way to school this morning when Alyssa realized that she didn't have her instrument. She ran back inside the house but couldn't find it. We didn't have a whole lot of time to look for it. So after dropping the girls off at school I came home and located it. Later took it back into her.
Wednesday - Trystan was so excited to tell me after school that she needed to stay because she got a part in the Christmas program! We were very excited for her. One week from today, Trystan will have her six week appointment to see Dr. McDonald. Maybe she'll be walking without her walker for the Christmas program!
Thursday - The girls only had a half day of school today! They were excited about that and that they don't have school tomorrow either!
Friday - Opening day of shotgun season is today. Tracy was up bright and early to go out behind the house and hunt. I am so happy that he is seeing something this year! He had to let a few walk and others he couldn't get a shot off because they wouldn't come close enough. But hey! He's seeing something right?!

Sunday - Started off the morning by going to church. Came home after church for lunch and headed back for AWANAs this evening for "Backwards Night." The girls and I wore our shirts and their uniforms backwards! Great time!

November 9-, 2010
Tuesday - Trystan was back to school today. This evening was the Academic Foundation were the 2nd graders perform. Trystan did a wonderful job with her reading part and Alyssa did a fabulous job with the sound system. We are so super proud of our kiddos!
Wednesday - Nothing much to report today. The girls are excited to have the day off of school tomorrow due to Veteran's Day. If the weather is nice, we plan to take a trip to the zoo.
Thursday - No School Today! I took the girls to the zoo. It wasn't crowded at all. I couldn't believe it. Later we found out that Missouri had school. That would be a good reason for it not to be crowded. We saw a lot of animals, had a picnic lunch, and stopped by Culvers on the way home for an ice cream. We got home in enough time for Alyssa to change her clothes into her dance outfit. We had a wonderful day!
Friday - The girls were back in school today. I think we are all ready for the weekend!

Hard to believe that it has been three months since Trystan had her last scans. Today was the day that we had to take her to Children's Hospital in St. Louis. We had to drop of Alyssa at school first we were then on our way. We arrived at the hoslpital about 9:15 a.m. and had to first go in to the lab for bloodwork. (The worst first!) Surprisingly enough she did pretty well! We then proceeded to radiology. After getting her registered we were then called back for her CT scan. Tracy went in with her there, while I waited in the hall. After the CT scan we had to wait a little longer in the waiting room for her x-rays. We requested the x-rays because she has been complaining off and on that her upper right arm is hurting. We then headed up to the clinic on the 9th floor for her doctor's appointment with Dr. Wilson. We were given the bloodwork results first. They were all in the normal range. Then we were given the results of CT scan which were clear as well! Lastly we were told that her x-rays of her arm looked normal. Thank goodness! Praise the Lord for this great news of nine months cancer free! Next scans are scheduled for February 21, 2010. If the scans are clear in February she will be cancer free for one year.

Saturday - Today was a great day! We had a wedding to go to at our church. After the ceramony, we were on our way to the reception in Collinsville when I read on Facebook that Trystan's penpal Jazmine, from Europe passed away. The girls did fairly well with the news at first. We have been trying to prepare them for this day. The reception was great! The food was really good too. While waiting for the food, Trystan finally broke down about her friend Jazmine. But, soon was better because the music started and the dancing began. Both the girls danced their hearts out! I even held Trystan so she could line dance. We finally made it home about 11:00 only to find out that I had left my purse at the reception! Thankfully, it was still where I had left it and the bride's parents brought it home with them.
Sunday - We went to church this morning. I aslo got my purse back when we arrived at church. Thank goodness! After church we came home and had lunch. Then this evening we made our way to AWANAs.

Monday - It was back to school today for the girls after an exciting Halloween weekend!
Tuesday - Lots of studying for Trystan and her spelling pre-test tomorrow. The words are getting more difficult for her every week. She does seem to be reading a little better and the math is really coming along.
Wednesday - I was really nervous when I dropped the girls off at school today. Trystan had her spelling pre-test today. I really didn't think she would do very well on it. But to my surprise, when she got in the car, she told me that she got a 100% on the pre-test. I had her show it to me so I could see the proof. WOW! She proved me wrong. I am super proud of her. She continues to amaze me everyday. Also, one year ago this evening, the Lord called John home. Tracy and I decided to invite Doris over for dinner so she wouldn't have to be alone. It was a pretty good dinner. I made a fresh salad, baked pork chops, twice baked potatoes, sweet corn, and a brownie sundae dessert. Though we miss John deeply, we have the faith in knowing that he is with Jesus and we WILL see him again!
Thursday - Nothing much to report today.
Friday - Trystan had practice with Mrs. Lugge after school today. We all then went to Arthur Young, Inc. 50th Anniversary. They served a dinner and had cake. It was nice. After we finished there we all came home for the evening.

Saturday - The girls played all afternoon together and were excited to hear when it was time to change their clothes into their Halloween costumes. Trick-or-treating for Greenville was tonight. Tracy and I only planned on taking them to a few places of people we know in town. The girls went to Mrs. Walker's, Mr. Stoecklin's, and at the time we thought it was Mrs. Westbrooke's houses. When we walked up to the door and saw that it wasn't Mrs. Westbrooke's house they were ok with it because the girl really like the girls' costumes and gave them extra candy! We also tried to go to Mrs. Wilhite's house only to see that she wasn't home. :( Then it was time for supper and we stopped at Kahuna's. They gave the girls a small cone for coming in in their costumes. We called it a night and headed home.
Sunday - Started off the day by going to church. Didn't quite make it to Sunday school though. Came straight home after church for a few hours before taking the girls by both Grandma's houses so they could see them in their costumes. After that, we went to Casey and Cathy Adolph's so that the kids could ride on a "hayride" around their subdivision to trick-or-treat. They got so much candy! Holy Cow!! We finally finished trick-or-treating a little after 8:00 and still hadn't eaten supper. Went through McD's and ate that on the way home. Got home in just enough time to put the girls to bed for school tomorrow.
