I am always finding myself in "catch-up" mode. I have come to accept the fact that life is just crazy- busy and I am always behind. ALWAYS. Week #30 was indeed a busy one here at the Dahlhouse. It began bright and early on Monday morning. Luke had a doctor's appointment to discuss some medication issues that we have been having. He was entertaining me with his double jointed shoulders! So crazy! I love this guy! I am the luckiest to have been chosen to be his mommy.
Later that morning the two olders headed off to summer camp with the youth group. I was so excited for them. They went to the same summer camp that I grew up going to (Camp Crestview). While Grace had the most fabulous time and didn't want to come home, Luke's experience was different. Time will tell if he wants to return to summer camp next year. Special needs are always difficult...difficult for him and difficult for others. Why is that some kids find the need to prey on the weak, the different, the ones that are most vulnerable at times. I was so proud of him for going! It was a huge step for him and even though he had challenges he did it! I am trying so much to focus on the positive.
This little one was in 7th heaven with just some mommy and me time. She's my girl! Manicures all around! Thank you Lyn!

Wednesday, Bella planned the whole day...including lunch at our favorite Chinese restaurant. Her and I continue to share the love of Chinese culture.
Why can't kids keep their rooms picked up??? I spent several hours undoing this while the older girl child was away at camp. Believe it or not...it still looks like this presently. I.give.up.

Tuesday I went and faced my fears and had my annual physical complete with lab work. I am happy to report that everything came back great. After my skin cancer scare, I have been very afraid of what else the doctors might find. But being proactive for my health...I decided to push for a mammogram even thought I am only 38. With my family history, I didn't want to take chances and as we all know early detection is the key. So Friday, before the olders came home from camp, I scheduled my mammogram. Honestly, I did not find the exam painful or long. It was easy and straightforward. The waiting...that is the hard part. I am not good at the waiting for results.
