Knee update

The MRI showed my ACL is completely fine. There is No tear and appears not to be overstretched either. I was very relieved to find out that I would not need a surgery. I do have tendinitis but am able to exercise again! I need to strengthen my quads and muscles behind my knee to relieve the pressure and pain caused by the tendinitis.

Kyle cracks me up!

Friday Kyle came home from school and told me that he hasn't been the birthday boy yet. I thought he was telling me this because we were celebrating my mom's birthday on Saturday. So, I told him he was right, he hasn't been the birthday boy for 6 months but in 6 more months he would be the birthday boy again. He got a little frustrated with me and said, "NO mom, I haven't been the birthday boy at school yet." I explained to him that he would never be the birthday boy at school because his birthday was in July during the summer. He wasn't happy with that answer so he said "I'm just going to change my birthday to January." He's been working on problem solving in Occupational Therapy, it's made him look way outside the box!

Ding Dong Ditched by Santa?

On Christmas Eve about 9:00 pm Chris and I were watching T.V. We receive a knock on our door and Chris got up to answer it. He said "probably someone dropping off more cookies." He looked through our spy glass in the door and saw something on the porch and said, "yup more cookies." He opened the door and to our surprise their was a wrapped box and Riley Jo's name on the card. We were totally surprised and opened the card to see if there was some clue as to who left the present for Riley Jo. The note read: My Dear Sweet Riley Jo, I found this extra present in the bottom of my Christmas sack and thought that you would be the perfect little girl to give it to. I know how much you love Disney Princesses and thought that you might like to add Cinderella to your collection. Have a wonderful Christmas and know that I am always thinking of you. Love, Santa Clause. So we put the card back in the envelope and put the present under the tree for the morning. When Riley Jo opened the present we thought it was going to be a stuffed Cinderella doll, or a Cinderella barbie doll. To our surprise it was a beautiful porcelain doll. Thank you to Riley Jo's Santa Clause wherever you are.

Christmas

We had a very good Christmas this year. Santa brought our family Dance Dance Revolution for the Wii, which is a lot of fun, Sing It, which is a High School Musical sing a long game, Kyle got a CARS racetrack, and Riley Jo received Disney's Princess toddler bedding. We went to my mother in laws in the morning so the kids could open their presents and see their cousins. After Christmas, dinner we went over to a friends house who got the new Rock Bank game for the XBox 360. We had so much fun playing the instruments and singing along. At one point we had an all girl band, we ROCKED!!!
