Hoping and Praying.....

This is a hard post to write this week. All of us are apprehensive about what we will find out tomorrow and how that will affect our lives.  We endured two days of driving to Denver last week and the grueling testing that Brad had to undergo.  The test on Thursday, the FMRI, was physically uncomfortable. They took him back right away, then about and hour and a half later, came and asked me if I had a copy of his eye prescription.  Hmmmm, let me just check my purse.....they finally got it so that he could see and he came away with a headache and 2 red indentations on his temples.  Friday proved to be less physically challenging, but more so mentally!  When he shared some of the questions with me, it seemed that he had just tried out for a position on Jeopardy!  I wondered how many people could realistically answer the questions he was asked. On top of the tests, my Mom had what the doctors thought was a mild heart attack.  Pam was with her and then David and John drove from Iowa.  Don and Vicki will arrive on Monday and are determined to bring her back to Colorado with them through the holidays.  I wish them luck in getting that accomplished!

On the bright side, Spencers' team won on Saturday and will advance to the State Finals, playing Denver Kent on Saturday.  One of the perks for winning (selfishly) is that they will cancel their planned Thanksgiving trip to California and spend it instead with us! It'll be good to have us all together, especially this year.

Gabi, Sophie and Corbin came over on Saturday and of course the girls wanted to do a craft project.  We tried several
things before they settled on making button embellished Christmas trees (doll sized).  I had to laugh as they were arguing over the buttons (I must have 10,000) and Gabi told Sophie to stop being "Miss Bossy Pants" and reminded her that she had previously been reprimanded by " President" Rory last weekend to which Sophie replied, "Gabi, I know.  I struggle with that".  The two of them get along for the most part, but when they don't.....Yikes!

I didn't get many pictures this week...big slacker!  Only these of the girls being silly and some of Grayson sporting his new haircut. I have to be quick capturing him on the camera, as he is always moving.....
