NO DOC OFFICE TODAY

It is so incredibly nice to not have to go to the doctors office today! We do love everyone there and it has become such a way of life for us BUT I like it when I actually have a chance to "miss them". Usually we are out of the house by 8:15 AM and we do not return until around 2:30 PM. You never realize how much of your day that consumes until you have a day or two when you don't have to do it.

Today was an okay day for us. I got a bunch of paperwork done for church and got to Sams Club to buy some of the stuff for our 4th & 5th grade Halloween Party on Thursday night. I even got some of the house cleaned up and I love it when my house is clean.

Gary took a long, hot shower today and then got in his little motorized cart and went to the school to pick the boys up. We have to figure out a name for that dang cart. It has given him the mobility that he so desperately needed. He did not even use the wheelchair today. He walked to the shower and then out to the garage. It is great to see him upright after watching him struggle so much. He moves slow BUT he moves nonetheless.

Zach is very excited to play the violin and he got to speak with Cousin Stuart today about the violin. Stuart is a world renowned fiddle player and he has offered to share one of his violins with Zachary! What an honor for Zach. He had better take care of it!

I am thinking about planning something for Gary's birthday on the 9th which is a Sunday. I was thinking about having an Open House so people could just pop by for a while to say hello and visit. Please hold that date (most likely in the afternoon hours) and I will let you know what I decide. I think it would be incredibly spirit lifting for Gary and after all IT IS HIS BIRTHDAY! We need to celebrate him!

Well, the Kulik's are delivering some yummy Italian food tonight and I have to go and get prepared for that!
Thanks for all of your prayers and all the love you all send our way.

Love,
Lisa
