Hubby felt better just in time to join in on his parents’ special 50th anniversary dinner. He flew out on Friday and flew back on Sunday and his parents expressed their appreciation for his effort to come. Many thanks to his sister for sharing photos!
On Sunday we were happy to dress up in festive apparel and have the last Primary lesson of 2021 after a special Christmas program during Sacrament. After Church Michelle had her first temple recommend interview and Brother J. told me I had an amazing daughter. “She was born that way,” I replied. Michelle is excited to go asap! And Natalie was counting down the hours until Hubby came home. It was good to have him back safely and with only a 10 minute flight delay.
Monday found us baking Christmas sugar cookies with our neighbor joining in, Kate spending the night at a friends house and then a different friend at our house the next night. After Danny spent the night at a friend’s house and enjoyed some cage time with his baseball team we visited the local museum before their 150th anniversary exhibit closed at the end of the year. Somehow these days are just flying by with plenty of relaxing, driving kids around and cleaning and eating and shopping and wrapping presents and knocking other things off the top do list too.
On Wednesday we found out Kate’s wrist will require surgery to remove a ganglion cyst that is causing her pain. The good news is the surgeon will remove the cyst and put a stitch in the wrist to prevent another one from developing so she shouldn’t have to worry about dealing with this over and over. It’s kind of scary to realize Kate will be going under anesthesia but she is excited to be pain free after about one month of recovery. She is choosing to wait until volleyball season is over and will need to take OTC pain killers in the mornings she has tournaments. I’m kind of regretting signing Kate up for Club ball this year but she is determined to play the entire season and seems excited to travel out of state this year. I think it is also a relief to know a rather simple procedure should fix it and Kate was in a great mood the rest of the day and ate dinner with us and the missionaries and we all watched the show Hawkeye together after the Sisters left. It feels so good to have everyone together during the break!
