MIL

so mother-in-law is gone... not gone, gone.... but just transferred to medicine hat hospital. this means FIL won't be staying with us anymore. tonight is our first night without houseguests since early october! it actually is nice.... i can fart out loud if i want! (OMG did i just say that?!?!?!!) i am kidding.... but really... just makes it more comfortable when it's just our family here.

MIL was flown to medicine hat hospital... and it was her VERY FIRST time flying. she was terrified to fly her whole life, but today she did it. and her comments afterwards, "it was great! it was so smooth!" too funny. FIL still hasn't ever flown, and says he never will.

so back to the grind tomorrow.... the dayhome is really wearing me out lately. i plan to scale down things soon ish... by jan 1st. that date won't come soon enough though!

photography is picking up again. had a bit of a lull for a week or so there, but had 2 sessions this weekend. one went well, one not as well. oh well....

tomorrow morning is emerson's first gymboree class. i wonder how she will do.... could be interesting! she'll go every monday until mid-januray. the older kids are still in gymnastics and loving it! i'm hoping to get them into swimming lessons in the new year.

tuesday i have an appointment for hallie and emerson at the doctor. hallie needs a yearly checkup, and emerson just needs a follow up for a few issues -- the main one being her ears. she has had 2 hearing tests since the spring/summer and both showed fluid in the ears. nothing has been done about the fluid, sort of got put on the back burner and then forgotten about. now that she's 2yrs old and still having speech delays, they want this looked into further. she is on the wait list for early intervention as well, although i'm not sure if we'll go through with it or not. i am not entirely sure about the whole program and if it will be beneficial for her/us.

ok... enough blabbing! there was a quick update! off to bed now.... well maybe not yet, first some laundry to fold, then bed.

good night!
