Update

I know that it has been a while since I have written. I have been extremely busy!! It has been a good kind of busy though. Regardless, I have missed blogging, so here goes.

I have been getting up every week day at 5 to excercise and am finally seeing some results. I am done 3 #'s! I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but I am thankful for that. Just seeing a drop was encouraging to me.

"Dada" (formerly known as DD) and "Brother" (fomerly known as DS) have adjusted well to school. Dada has had a few rough glitches adjusting to the rules of 1st grade, but she is now doing very well. When I go to check her sugar in the afternoon, she asks if she has to leave yet. I tell her no, and she is very happy about that. The other day I asked her who she liked better as a teacher and she said her new teacher, b/c she gets to stay all day. Brother, loves school also. I am so glad that I waited a year to put him in. Thank you Tancy for putting up with him last year while I worked. Brothers teacher has commented to me several times about how good he is and how well he is doing. He is the oldest boy in the class and I think that is good for him. He has made a couple new friends and overall just seems very happy. For that I am very thankful.

Dada's sugar has been ok lately. We are off to the doc today to talk about the insulin pump. I have only heard how expensive it is. But I think that she would benefit from it. She is very sick of getting so many shots during the day. Last time we were at the doc, they changed her long lasting insulin to twice a day. That means she gets 2 shots of it during the day and she didn't like that. She is averaging 6-8 shots a day now. That is a lot for a little girl. So I pray that today goes well.

My mom is going with us to the doc. We go to UW in Madison. So it will be nice to spend some time with her. We are planning at stopping by Maranantha on the way home. There is a volleyball tournament there and our Varsity girls are playing. I want to go and cheer them on. Hopefully we will make it.

DH has been layed off for the past week and a half. He thankfully went back to work yesterday. He seems to really like his company. He just has to work about an hour away, so that stinks. He has to get up very early. Last night we were all in bed at 8:30!!!! I told him that we were to young for that! But we were both really tired, and we both have been fighting off a cold. So sleep is probably what we needed!

Anyway, enough from me today. Here are a few random picts!!

My new "daughter" Ashley.

My BFF Tancy. She will hate me for putting up this picture, but I think it is cute!
