May Madness

This month has been so crazy and hectic between sicknesses, Elises softball games and my appointments I haven't had time to breath.

Well, for anybody wondering, the walk is over! We are done! What a weekend that was, I don't think me and Jen will forget that for awhile. She might want to forget it. All in all it was a good weekend. It rained the whole weekend so that kind of put a damper on things a little. One of the highlights of the weekend was Friday night. We stayed at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel which was directly across the street from a restaurant called "Maggianoes? Little Italy". Jen had been to one in Philly so we decided to go and check it out. On the menu they have a choice of choosing the family style menu which is you get a choice of 2 appetizers, 2 salads, 2 pastas, 2 entrees, and 2 desserts. We decided on the family style menu since we were going to be walking the next 2 days we needed to load up on our crabs. Oh my goodness! There was so much food, I couldn't believe it. I think I weighed 10 pounds heavier after that, but it was so good. While we were eating Jen was getting up to use the restroom and as she put her hand down on the seat a piece of glass poked into her finger. She told our waitress and she let the manager know, so in the end Jen ended up getting her meal comped. Way to take one for the team Jen!

I think if it was nice and sunny we would have had a little more fun but oh well, we tried to make the most of it. Let me tell you, we will never wear another poncho for a really long time. Thank you again to everyone who supported us. Zarah has said that she wants to do it but she has to be 18, so that gives us 4 years to recover and get ready and for Jen to forget that I made her get blisters on her toes. I am so glad that she did it with me, otherwise I would not have had such a good time. What a great friend to sacrifice her toes for me. Thank you Jen!

Softball Pro?

Elise had her first softball game last night. They didn't win but it was a good learning game for most of them. Who knows maybe she will be a real good softball player.

I was practicing with her the other day and I was pitching the ball to her, boy did I have flashbacks from when I was a kid. Not good memories but if Elise wants to play softball then I will have to get over my childhood flashbacks,which by the way, is all my brothers fault. I am scarred for life now.

New Word

Trevor said a new word today!!

SHIRT

This is only his 3rd word, I think, he is getting there. He can't say Mama or Dada, but he says Shirt. Oh well. I should be happy he is starting to say something.

Goal Achieved!

Well, we did it! Jen and I reached our goals for the Avon Walk!In the beginning I never thought I would be able to raise that much money but everyone chipped in and we did it. I even heard from some people that I hadn't heard from in a while so that was nice.

Our next step is to concentrate on our training. Mine isn't going as well as I wanted it to but this weekend I am going to try and do one good long walk before the walk actually comes.

To update on Trevor's evaluation: They came up with that he needed help in his expressive language so they are going to start out coming once a week then if they see improvements they will cut back on the visits. As far as his foot turning in is concerned, the therapist didn't see a real need to do anything right now. She said give it about 4-6 weeks and if it still hasn't improved or has gotten worse then they would see about an orthopedic. Hopefully we won't have to go that route but we will see, he doesn't have ANY problems getting around that's for sure.
