...Michael caulking the cracks in the sidewalk and driveway


...the bushes all trimmed and the grass mowed







Michael got a little carried away on the elderberry bush



...Jar texted me that he wanted me to text him photos of him: one from 2010 and one that was on the fridge

...I read one of my favorite books again: Martha's Vineyard Isle of Dreams by Susan Branch



...boys' bathroom is almost finished


...got some yummy food for the boys and I while Michael is away on a business trip















...Cam sewing part of his Halloween costume


...Michael's business trip ?





...supplies for Cam's costume


...Cam practicing with his makeup







...the finished boys' bathroom





...Michael putting screws into the side of the house, as well as caulking



...the three boys went to see For King and Country in concert (I did not go, because I was still struggling with imbalance issues)








Other happenings around here lately:
  • Jar got an A in Micro Economics and his Business class (he thought for sure he was going to get a B in Micro Economics)
  • Cam went to play soccer every Monday...then Dairy Queen and card games afterward
  • Boys went to YAM (discussions on topics:()

  • Michael and I watched Gilmore Girls
  • I finished watching Friends all the way through (I had never done that before)
  • Cam got his resume all finished and sent to Rob (headhunter)
  • Cam got interview set up with Rob (headhunter)
  • I am noticing some changes in how I feel (I am three months in taking progesterone cream; technically really only 2 months, because the first month I did not get to take it fully) This is slow going, but I am feeling just a wee bit better every week. I am finally able to take a shower without having a full blown panic attack. Hopefully going in a vehicle and walking will be more manageable soon.
