Isaac and I continue to stay busy. Not sure what all we've been up to....but nonetheless...seems like we're always busy. And we are both ready (as i'm sure everyone else is too) for cooler weather!!!
In just a few weeks...i will officially have a preschooler! Hard to believe for sure and even harder to believe that means kindergarten is a year away. Not looking forward to that day at all.
Jana and I took Katelyn and Isaac to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in Conway earlier this summer. This was the first musical we saw on Broadway almost 20 years ago. We love it and is special just because of that. It was a really nice production of it....just really good! The kids enjoyed it too. I was so glad. Isaac has in fact become a bit obsessed with it. (the music from it imparticular) Hmmm...like mother like son. :-) That's the cd playing in our car and has been since we saw it. He'll tell me to sing #6 when we're no where near the car/cd. I'm like...help me....which one is that. I think he has the numbers down. And we also have the movie so we've watched it a few times since the show too. Of course not as good....but still pretty good. And he'll talk about the numbers during it too. Right after the show...the actor who played Joseph walked over to where we were standing and spoke to us....and especially Isaac...asking him if he was on front row that he had seen him watching. Isaac was thrilled! He even mentioned it out of the blue the other day...that Joseph had spoken to him. And then got the sweetest little grin on his face. Of course that night....he was a little confused and was calling Joseph, Jesus. But now he definitely has it straight. A little bit of deja vu as that fateful night in NYC...after the show I spoke to that Joseph. We have no pictures or proof....just the memory of it. And i didn't get a pic of this Joseph with Isaac either. :-( But such a wonderful feeling...to get to share this special musical that i love with my son. So so happy he loves it too. And that at least for now....he likes musicals like his mommy!
Isaac and I are both excited for our much needed getaway/trip to the beach this week!
Molly is still hanging in there. Since i last posted she had another surgery to remove two more lumps...but neither of them were cancerous. Thank goodness! One was a hybrid cyst. And the other was something more or less caused from the first surgery. She is still wearing an Elizabethian collar because she keeps messing with her leg wound from last surgery. She looks pitiful. :-) I had decided to hold off on starting her treatment until September..when hopefully won't be as hot. She had to go in for another heartworm test last week required by the manufacturer...found out they were going to pay for part of the treatment!!!!! answered prayer! But then her test came back as a faint positive. that is...barely positive. so now...we are back in waiting mode. She will get tested again in a month and then if it is faint again (it was a different vet at the clinic that gave the first one and they did not note if it was faint or not...so can't base it on that) it may be that she won't do treatment at all. The vet feels like that could mean she just has a very few in her system. And with her showing no symptons....and being on preventitive.....they can't reproduce so would be just waiting for those to die. But if it's fully positive....then probably will go ahead and get treatment. Even though she likely doesn't have very many...the treatment is still the same unfortunately. But at least for me anyway...a bit less of a worry/stress during it...not as many to get rid of...not as many to potentially cause a clot, etc... What a crazy rollercoaster ride I've been on the past two months with Molly.
Here's a recent picture of my silly boy. (yes...he is getting big)
And a picture of Molly with her collar on.
