Catchin up again

School is in full swing and although it nearly broke my heart to see him walk up the steps and be one of the smallest kids in the building, Trevor is in Kindergarten and LOVING every minute of it. He is so cheerful and ready each morning to get up and get ready for school. He has made so many friends already and talks about several of them all the time. It must be me wanting to hold on to tight that led me to fear the worst out of this big step in his life. I was afraid he wouldn't make friends easily and that his sometimes aggressive behavior would rear it's ugly head immediately. Thank goodness it was just a fear in my mind and it hasn't come to light.



It was adorable yesterday morning when I dropped him off at school, we were walking up the front steps when Abby, a little girl in his class was getting out of her car, she called out "Trevor, Wait, I want to walk in with you" he waited for her and took her hand in his and they walked into the school holding hands...ohhh my heart! It was so very sweet!

Kaylee is loving her second year of preschool as well and I am so very happy that I chose to send her both years. She has made so many friends and has grown such a personality. She, just like Trevor, has such a thurst for knowledge and they retain like a sponge. They both are such intelligient little ones. Without preschool I fear they would have been bored beyond words.



Kaylee is also playing soccer this fall along with several kids from her class. She loves it. Her first game will be this Saturday, we shall see how it goes..lol.

Things continue to be extremely busy around here. It seems that with school starting, it has gotten even more chaotic. I joined Cub-backers, which is a parent group for the grade school and there is so much to do with it. I also was nominated to sit on the Policy Council of Kaylee's preschool for a second year. Getting busy with that as well. Along with soccer and the normal appt's they all have, along with home and Isaiah, it doesn't leave a lot of time for things I would like to do. Even through all the busyness and the constant checking of the schedule, I wouldn't trade a minute of it for the world. My life is truly blessed!

I finally got a diagnosis for my leg, after seeing several specialists and going through tons of treatments and countless tests. It is Chronic Venous Stasis. The valves in some of my veins in my lower right leg have malfunctioned, allowing blood to flow into the leg, but the valve closes and does not allow it to flow back up the leg, causing it to pool in the leg and causing pain and swelling. There isn't anything they can really do for it, other than surgically taking the veins out. But they said mine aren't severe enough to take out right now. I have an appointment next week with a dermatologist who is going to biopsy the spot and make sure there aren't any cancer cells in it and then do some treatment with creams for the itching it causes and I will probably have to wear a TED(compression) hose on that leg for a while, maybe forever, depending on how it goes! It will push the blood out of my leg to keep it from pooling. It's a pretty common thing, although I had never heard of it. I must have injured my leg sometime and didn't realize it to cause the damage to the veins. Or else it is from varicose veins, although it really doesn't appear that I have them. Who knows.

Fall is showing up all around us, the weather has been delightfully cool for almost a month now and the trees are starting to turn orange and red. I am so in love with fall!!! What a beautiful time of the year.


Whewww..that was a long post. Sorry for the length.
