Audrey taught the lesson yesterday. It was on faith. She gave each of the girls a little succulent to remind them that faith is a living growing thing that needs to be nurtured. The girls came home and planted theirs in our new dollar spot bunny planter. It looks so cheerful. Her lesson was really good. I feel very lucky to work with her and with Rachel. They are awesome women.
Last night was our annual Family Value's Fireside. It was, as in past years, really good. Each stake (there are three in our valley) nominates people not of our faith who exemplify the values of family, service, doing good to all men, etc. Then three are chosen and honored. It's one of my favorite firesides, it's always very uplifting. The tri stake choir, of which Rob is a part, sang several numbers and they were each wonderful.
Today I subbed 5th grade. It was not a bad day but there were very skeletal lesson plans left so there was a lot of winging it.
Health updates:
Stupid Steve: He went to the vet. He does not have a UTI. The vet thinks he might have anxiety. So he's got a second litter box and is going on prozac. I know, it's the most ridiculous thing ever.
Hannah: wisdom teeth tomorrow.
Me: back to working, but voice is still a little scratchy, strange.
Grace: for several years Grace has complained about her joints hurting. Particularly her knees and ankles. I actually took her to see the doctor in MD but that didn't go so well and she basically said she didnt' have a problem while we were in the office, only to come home and complain for 2 more years. So this time I schooled her on what to say. I told her to say, if it didn't hurt at the moment, that it feels fine now but often it hurts quite a lot and it stops me from activities I would want to do like PE and family hikes. She did and talked to him for a few minutes. Then he ordered xrays and blood work. Also she has eczema. So we went and did those things. She was very brave getting her blood drawn and we will see in a couple weeks. Hopefully it's nothing but growing pains. It will be good to know. I don't think it's typical for a kid to have chronic pain in their knees and ankles.
