Thursday, May 9th, Claude and I had a Stake Self-Reliance Meeting in Lexington. We usually have dinner before at a place that we don't have one of in Georgetown. This night we picked something we haven't tried before...Ted's Montana Grill. We each had a very nice burger. Not beef. It was bison. Yum!! We will definitely go back to this place to dine.
Monday, May 13th, we received a link for a delightful You-Tube video. Bailey was given a special gift. Michel told her to check an envelope on the island. Bailey opened it and found the contents. She crumbled to the ground with joy. Then she jumped up and down with pure glee. It seems Michael bought her tickets to see Hamilton. This is something she has wanted to go to for such a long time. Andie will go with her. But to say our girl was happy is truly an understatement.
These picture were taken Wednesday, May 15th. Our little Nelson had been throwing everything up and having awful stomach cramps before we went to Michigan. His pediatrician gave Aubrey meds to help with him not throwing up. When we visited over Mother's Day weekend, the use of the meds kept him okay for that day. However, he started right up again. Tuesday he threw up every meal. Finally in the evening Aubrey took him to the emergency room and they referred him to the children's hospital in Grand Rapids. These pictures were taken while he was in that hospital. Please note the club on his right arm to keep his IV in place. They ran lots of tests and determined he had an infection and the meds his pediatrician had Aubrey giving him cleared up the infection but they messed up his GI system. They gave him things to rehydrate him and get him back on track a bit. He was released after a few days of tests and observation with meds to be taken daily to help him keep meals down and his intestines to continue healing. He had a rough go of it. Thankful he had a very cheerful, indomitable spirit and this kept him going.
Wednesday was a full day for Claude and I. He left to go to Lexington earlier than me to attend a meeting. I came in later and he joined me for our Religion Class. After this class we quickly had lunch together. Then Claude headed home to meet the roofing man. I stayed at the Stake Center to help serve lunch to the missionaries at their Zone Conference. After this I went to spend time with Papa. It was a full day indeed. A good one but a full day.
Katelyn posted these two pictures of her little girls. Look at the great expression on Raelyn's face. I just love this nugget. She is strong willed and confident, even at 3 years old. She is going to be great to watch grow up. Wonder what Emelia will be like as she grows up?
Then Katelyn posted this picture of her two week old daughter holding up her own bottle. How fun is that?
Thursday, May 16th, Claude and I drove to LaGrange for the Oldham County Middle School Spring Gala of all their bands. Bailey is in the 6th grade band playing the trumpet. Hayden is in the 8th grade band playing the baritone.
First, Bailey. She is in the pink dress. In the first picture she is receiving a band award. You can find her in the second picture playing her trumpet. In the last picture she is grinning from ear to ear because the other bands and the parents gave them a standing ovation. What a treat for the 6th grade band. It was so nice having the kids in the other bands stand up first for the 6th grade band.
Second, Hayden. Hayden is in the center of the first picture receiving his award. He is standing by his friend, Charles. The award was for a duet they played. The second picture is the entire 8th grade band. This would be their last concert in Middle School. Mr. Wise, their band teacher, had the band stand to be recognized for their distinguished rating when they were the 7th grade band and also as the 8th grade band at the KMEA competition. They were the only Middle School band to receive this recognition and they did it two years in a row. One of the pieces they played that night was led by Mr. Rogers, the high school band teacher and they were playing music written for high school level. This is just an excellent band program. The last picture was taken as they prepared to play their last piece of music as a Middle School Band.
It was an excellent program. The last piece of music was titled "Lightning". Ironically as they prepared to play it the thunder outside was shaking the gym. We were getting alerts on our phone for lightning close by and for a severe thunderstorm.
That catches me up on some bits of blog.
