handsful

that have nothing to do with each other, just wanted to share. 

It’s Upward season around here.  Randy coaches both a boys team with Payton on it, and a girls team with Abbey.  Here’s a shot of Payton from last night.  I missed Abbey’s game because it was at 9pm, which would have gotten Lainey to bed around 10:30.  So, I’ll post a pic of her from the next game.  Randy loves coaching and he’s so good with the kids.  I remember when we were dating, he coached kids b-ball leagues and I loved going and watching.  Gave me some insight into what kind of dad he would eventually be :) 

The girl is creative.  An old cell phone clamped under a set of headphones.  Cracked me up.  She still has the steritape on her lip here, but it’s since been removed.  Still on a soft diet, she has her last post-op appointment a week from tomorrow.  We’re a little concerned about how her lip is healing, there seems to be a raised scar and it’s still red.  Looks worse than when we started.  Maybe it just needs a little more time, we’ll see.  The good news is she feels great, her happy mood is back, and her palate is still totally intact :) 

I plan on doing a longer post soon, when time allows (must stop laughing).  Life is busy, school in full swing (juggling 3 research papers at once is gonna be FUN), and I’m spending a lot of time thinking/planning for Abbey’s high school at home next fall (gulp).  Never a dull moment.
