The Wiggles










On Wednesday we took Spencer to see his favorite group The Wiggles. Not sure how he'd handle it because the last time we went he freaked out and we were way back in the crowd. Got to the BiLo Center and we were in the middle section 2nd row back. I thought oh no, he'll freak, but he didn't he love it and it was amazing to watch him watch them! It was if you could hear him speech, they're real and big! He got a Captain Feathersword sword and loves it, he's his favorite. What a great experience for us as a family to go and watch this and it be enjoyable for Spencer! It was so much fun as you can see from the pic!

OCTOBER FLEW BY!









Wooooo, where did October go! It's the 1st of Nov and I can't believe I haven't posted since the end of Sept. It's going to get busier with the holidays coming up.

First, I've lost a total of 70 lbs since the 1st of Aug! I need to lose 10 by the end of November to be where the dr wants me to be. I feel so good, but have knee pain. The dr says I need a total knee replacement, but I'm hoping with more weight loss, it will get feel better and I can put that off for some time. I got a shot of cortizone 1 1/2 weeks ago and it made it almost 100% better. We just pray that I can get some time out of the old knee before it has to be totally replaced.

We attended the Walk to Remember in memory of Madelyn Jane, our daughter we lost soon to be 8 years ago. It is always an emotional day for us as we miss her alot and wonder what she would be like. Tammie, Samantha and Ronald attended with us. It is nice to have some support on a day like this.

Spencer finished his Miracle League season, but due to rain it was held in a gym. He didn't like this at all due to sensory issues. We had to leave early as the echo of sounds really bothered him.

Lastly we went Trunk or Treating at a local church. Spencer wasn't thrilled, but tolerated it. He wanted on the playground, to heck with the candy, he wanted to swing! We met his sitter and her family there. Spencer & Quinn have fun.

Hope that we can slow down with the upcoming holidays and enjoy the reason for the season.

Our favorite college team, West Virginia Mountaineers are doing great and hopefully will win the next 4 games and put them in a BCS Bowl game. We are going to the Pitt Game on Dec 1. I Love Mountaineers Football!
