28 More Days till UCLA!

This week has been full of ups and downs.  The downs are just more of the same...  Michael feeling just weak, tired, etc. etc. etc.  I'll spare you those details and focus on the ups!

One of Michael's closest friends, Alan Jones, flew in to spend a few days with us.   Saturday, Alan and I were determined to get Michael to a Reds spring training game.  I'm happy to report we DID it!  Alan and I walked Michael through the crowd straight to his seat.  Anything Michael wanted we brought to him.  He was able to enjoy the entire game, even though Reds lost!   Poor guy was exhausted after the long walk back to the car, but it was great to see him out and enjoying something he loves! 

Sunday morning we let Michael sleep in while we all went to church.  Afterwards, we had friends over to visit and catch up with Alan too.  Alan manned the grill with Michael's supervision while we all chatted and enjoyed the perfect weather!    

Monday, Michael got some much needed rest in the afternoon while Alan took the kiddos out for the afternoon.  Monday evening we all were able to go out to dinner, then went to Paige's first softball game ever.  She was nervous, but ended up doing a great job and their team won 15 to 12!  Gracious I forgot how uncomfortable metal bleachers are to sit on for hours at a time!  LOL! 

28 more days until UCLA!  Still have a long way to go to get there.  Praying hard we don't have to reschedule again.  

Thank you for all of the love, messages, hugs, donations, and prayers!
