I apologize to anyone who may check this site regularly or even occasionally for updates on our family. It is so easy to get bogged down or tied up in our day to day activities and forget about the things that mean so much to us and others. We have had so many things going on over the last several months. I will try to give you some of the hightlights in this post and then give some more detailed posts in the days to come.
Courtney is recovering well from her back surgery and has started bowling again in her league on Saturday mornings. She has been doing well in her feeding therapy sessions. In fact, we have been told that we should not blend her food anymore. YEAH!!!!! She can't eat things like steak or salad, but she has been eating diced fruit, green beans, fish, hush puppies (insides), pizza, sandwiches, etc. She seems to really be enjoying eating like everyone else. Our only issue now is how long it takes her to eat. :-) We have to allow some extra time now to make sure she has time to finish, but not rush her.
Kelsey has been very busy pursuing her musical theatre aspirations - she was a Bird Girl in her first community theatre production "Seussical" at the Larry Keeton Theatre, then played Dori in the DCA musical "Schoolhouse Rock Live", she has a small speaking role, is in the ensemble and the understudy for the lead role in the musical "Meet Me in St. Louis" at the Keeton Theatre starting this Friday night, and will have her first lead in a community theatre production starting in December when she plays Judy in "Irving Berlin's White Christmas" at the Keeton Theatre.
She is also trying to decide where she wants to go to college. She has been accepted at Union University in Jackson, has applied to Western Kentucky University, and will be applying to Tennessee Tech, and possibly Ball State. We have visited WKU and met with the head of the Fine Arts Dept and the head of the musical theatre dept. She really liked the school and is interested in their musical theatre degree. We are going to visit TTU and Union over the next few weeks to check out their nursing programs.
She also turned 18 this past week, which brings me back to my original thought of "Where has the time gone?" I can't believe my little girl is all grown up now. I will post some pictures from her performances and give some more detail in my next post.
Let me know if you are reading this and want me to continue posting.
