I’ve been x-rayed mri’d, jabbed, poked, prodded and parted with all kinds of fluids.
I’ve had several more ‘episodes’ where I loose feeling and the use of one or both of my arms (not fun). It comes with the most unbearable feeling … not pain but just as unwanted.
Will and I spent 13 hours in the ER over the weekend … tiring … boring … worrisome.
Lizzy scared us this evening by getting a BIG HONKIN’piece of wood stuck in her leg. There were no tears …
The Doc says, “she’s the toughest kid I’ve ever seen”. I agree :)
Oh … you wanna see?
She also wanted me to take a picture from the top too, because you can see some blood. HAHA
They look like orphans (happy orphans), but if I am honest this is pretty much par for the course at this time of night (7 pm). Lizzy is on her 2nd or 3rd outfit of the day. I had to take a clean pair of pants to school about 2:00 pm because she ‘fell’ in a puddle.
They love the trampoline and have loads of fun together. It was a smart buy! Good exercise and fun, you can’t beat that.
Due to a busy week. schedule. I am going to join OMSH and post a daily photo, instead of a wordy post for just one week.
Reading was a chore for Lizzy for a long time. Finally, she is starting to read for pleasure. For this I am thankful. I am also grateful that she let me snap this shot. She is getting stingy with photo-ops and letting me use them on the blog.
More ski stuff … sorry, but that’s all we did … ALL Day! As you can see from the blue sky, it was a gorgeous day for skiing.
It was also a day of many firsts.
Sam and I skied our first Double Black today. It was steep, full of moguls and it was treed. The Sunshine trail guide says it is one of the meanest ways down the lower half of Goat’s Eye. I’d have to agree.
It dawned on me (just prior to taking this run), while watching the kids ski moguls (much better than I can), that it wouldn’t be long before they leave me behind. It was also was clear to me that I am a pretty good skier, who lags a little in the courage department. I decided that I really need to push myself a little more.
Georgia had a big day too! She had her first lesson, rode the magic carpet on her own and skied her first run. It was cute, cute, cute! I have the video of course! I actually have about a dozen, but I won’t subject you to all of them … maybe just one or two. I’ll have to go through and pick out the best once we are home.
My favorite video of the day is Lizzy skiing the Eagle’s Nest (my favourite run). She takes her dad (the camera man) for a little surprise rie right at the end. Love it!
(Note: as I publish this post, this youtube video still hasn’t propigated?! If you can’t see it … sorry! I am hoping it will show up soon). *Update: switched to Vimeo
