Highs and Lows
(Post from my former blog)
Once again, this week has had ups and downs. I spent time at the funeral home with my friend who lost her father. Her family has had a very difficult time in the last couple of weeks. I know when the flurry of activity is over, their loss will truly start to feel real. I hope I can visit with her in the coming weeks and be a little bit of support.
On a very positive note, I am an aunt (again)! My brother and his wife had a baby girl Friday afternoon. Carly Ann weighed in at 4 lbs 15 oz. She is little, but she is doing very well (my sister-in-law only weighed 5 lbs when she was born, so Carly Ann's weight was not too surprising). I hope to get pictures of her soon. Unfortunately, little Carly Ann is in New Mexico, and I am in Tennessee. I don't know when we will be able to see her. Her big brother Matt will be one next week! My sister-in-law is going to have her hands full with her Irish twins, but what a special relationship Matt and Carly Ann will have! They will be so close!
Everything else that happened this week was typical: church, baseball games, errands, etc... This afternoon, we hope to buy some annuals to plant in front of the house, and we are taking the kids to Cici's Pizza for dinner. I have been working on losing weight the past few weeks, but tonight will be my treat meal for the week. There will be no control in an all-you-can-eat pizza restaurant!
