Day 769



Preschool "Parade"

Lots of jewels


Excited to "Trick or Treat"
Bored with taking pictures
Our knight in shining armor & our pretty little princess!


      We had a fun Halloween.  Conner and Katie both had parties at their schools.  Later that day we went to a ward party for "trunk or treat" and then to the hospital to see Grandma (so Grandma could see our sweet knight and pretty princess).  Scott's mom is still in the hospital, but she is doing fine. 
     It appears that Katie's low blood sugar last week was due more to "randomness" that to anything I did or didn't do - as she has had 2 more low blood sugar episodes since then.  We can't wait for this to be over with!  And the end is in sight - and for the first time (this past week) I can feel the "relief" coming.  I am glad
     Last night Katie asked her dad how many more days she had to take medicine, to which Scott replied, "90 days."  Katie said, "Wow, that's still a lot!"  Scott told her, "It sounds like a lot, but it really isn't."  (It kind of does still sound like a lot - 3 months sounds better!) ....But we are getting there.  I just hope this blood sugar issue goes away when the medications go away!  Overall, we are doing well, and we are very hopeful for the future.
    "Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey and share our love with friends and family. One day, each of us will run out of tomorrows. Let us not put off what is most important."  (Thomas S. Monson, "Love at Home--Counsel from Our Prophet")
