Willow started ballet lessons after school in HMS gym


Lyla turns 7 years old! The month was busy. I’m glad Willow’s ballet lessons and Lyla’s gymnastics class are at the school gym which doesn’t require a hurried trip to another location. Lyla does continue to take piano lessons on Tuesdays at 4:00. I enjoy watching her practice on the piano my sister and I played on when we were young. My sister became a very good pianist. I did not. I can still remember totally forgetting my piece for what would be my last piano recital! But at least I can read music. On days I pick up the girls at school we’ve started a routine I somewhat regret which includes going to “The corner store” for snacks before going to the park. However it is something they seem to enjoy and it’s hard to stop habits once they’ve begun! Willow has a special swing at the park which she calls her swing. It is hard for her to be patient when someone else has “her swing” before she gets to the park! On Thursdays I take Lyla to soccer practice. She doesn’t seem to enjoy it but she does persist. I took Lyla to McWane Center with her school class Friday the 21st. On Saturday the 22nd the Browns came to visit and Lyla spent the night at our house as well. Lyla stayed up too late watching shows on my phone! On Sunday I took Lyla to John Mitchell’s birthday party with live animals at HMS gym. The hearings for Supreme Count judge Brett Kavenaugh were on TV. Interesting times…Unfortunately he was confirmed. On the 28th I had appointments with both my GI surgeon, Dr. Weber and GI Medicine MD Dr. Richardson. I’m optimistic I can avoid surgery again in the near future…or ever. I ended the month taking Lyla to a birthday party at the new “Let’s Play” in Hoover on the 30th. She seems to always enjoy these parties and plays so well with children she knows…and those she doesn’t know. Angela continues to stay busy both working and going to school fulltime, which now includes clinical hours. It will be worth it when she finishes school. I’m proud of her. And glad I’m available to help with the girls. I treasure my time with them.
