I haven't much to write about, and that's good. Here is a few things that have been happening at our house.
-Our basement was cleaned, professionally, yesterday by a wonderfully chatty cleaning lady. The guys who did foundation work left a nice layer of dust on everything, but on their bill, it's gone now. We can breathe easy down there and enjoy our basement again.
-A small miracle it seems. Avery's feeding tube has NOT come out in a week! (knock on wood) Even if/when it does, I am now empowered with a great tip on how to put it back in, in 30 seconds.
-Lots of appointments. I encountered an appointment-scheduler-nazi today. I didn't want and really couldn't do a certain day & time for this appt. and she kept at it, until I conceeded. A few minutes later, after fuming, I called back to cancel the appt. I will not be bullyed into a time frame I don't want! Anyhoo. Really I just got the answering machine and they'll get it tomorrow. :)
-My youngest brother, Gary, is getting married this December to a great friend of his, Emmalee. They have been friends since the first grade. Gary is deaf and Emmalee is as well, although she hears better than Gary. Gary has graduated from college and has a nice job in SLC working for a TTY/video interpreting type of business. I am very proud of him and hoped all along that he would be able to be successful and have great friends. He is and he does. Congrats Gary and see you in December.
-Avery is starting OT, PT and speech therapy to help get her to where she needs to be. (like eating from a bottle).

Happy Wednesday! Wednesday is the day of the week where people are most likely to get into fights/arguments. So, in high school, my dear friend, Aryn Fitzwater, came up with this idea in order to avoid fighting and boost our friendships. Make Wednesdays "Share Day" and each of us would take a turn and bring something to share with our group (about 8 of us). We brought anything from yo-yo's to candy, all inexpensive stuff, but fun.
So, in retrospect, I narrowly avoided an argument with the nazi-scheduler, but I should have shared something nice with her, a joke perhaps.

Oh, it takes me back to hear you talking about your friendship with Aryn -- you guys are the best!!
I am a non-fan of scheduler-nazis myself - -good for you for calling back.
Love keeping up with you this way!
Ok, this post produced all kinds of noises from me. First, Gary and Emmalee?! How wonderful! I remember how tight they were when they were teensy... and how neat is it that you'll be connected to the Sparrows. Great people. So congrats, Gary!
As for Share Day, I'd forgotten about that :). I think the idea was more to get treats than to avoid fighting (we had a pretty good time in high school), but its a nice thought. You could have shared a knuckle sandwich with that scheduler... actually, no. They frown on that. Just insist on changing the appointment.
I'll stop talking now.
GARY??? SWEET GARY??? How on earth can he be old enough to marry!!!! I can't wait to tell my mom, she LOVED him when she was in primary. Like Jan, I love to hear you talk about the old days. I'm so glad to have found you all in cyberspace!!! Congrats on the feeding tube- one day your biggest worry will be when she starts jr. high
Yippy for professional cleaning! I'm glad to hear Avery is doing so well - if you need a break or anything don't hesitate to call. We love to see her continued forward progress!
Schedule-nazis...don't like them!
