Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy Mother's Day, everyone! I hope every single mother out there feels special today. There's nothing like being a mother, huh?! Motherhood is filled with extremes -- extreme happiness, extreme pride, extreme worry, extreme wonder, extreme prayer, extreme confusion, extreme laughter, extreme love, extreme play, extreme homework, extreme cleaning . . . did I forget anything? Nothing quite like it - and I love it! I have the best 3 girls in the world. Did you guys know that? Each is so different in their very own special way, and each one loves me so much. I am the most blessed mom in the world!

I left here Saturday and went straight to Josie's Folk Dance celebration. 33 schools attended, and all the kids danced these international folk dances together in the middle of the floor. It was so neat! It really was a very beautiful sight. They were all having so much fun. Some professional dancers from Mexico entertained during the break and the women were all dressed in big, bright, flowy, twirly dresses and the men had their big sombreras, puffy shirts and black, jingly pants. It was really something. So colorful. We were very proud of Josie - she did a great job!

Speaking of blessed, I have to go to the dentist tomorrow. (That was sarcasm.) Marissa and I both have appointments. I cancelled them about 2 months ago, but Bailey is willing to let us go this time. Wish me luck! Marissa's only been twice, and both times were very, very . . . let's say . . . unproductive. She ordered her own lunch today at Steak N Shake for the very first time! Maybe she'll let them look at her teeth tomorrow.

Bailey had a nice weekend. She decorated a clay pot for me for Mother's Day. She talked Dr. T into doing her dressing change only once a day now . . . until Monday (tomorrow). Then he's going to actually be here for the dressing change and re-evaluate. There are some scabby things on the canulas that have been there for weeks now. They haven't fallen off by themselves, and he mentioned maybe removing them. Of course, Bailey is worried about that. But I really don't think they're on her skin - I think they're just on the canulas.

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but Dr. T is a pilot and owns his own plane - a Bonanza single engine. Bailey finally asked him if he would give us a ride in his plane when we get out of here, and he said yes. How fun!

Hope you enjoyed the new pictures. I don't know what's in store for this week - I guess none of us really know what's in store for us, huh? I hope we all have a great week. I'll catch you all tomorrow!

Love, Angie
