November was a busy month for me, but I don't have a lot of pictures to prove it!
Rebecah and I spend a lot of time together going to 1-3 therapy appointments a week. Sometimes we have two appointments on the same day! She is improving, though, and her balance is much better. She was finally able to start occupational therapy and had a consultation about her vision as well. She still suffers from daily bouts of nausea and dizziness which will hopefully improve with her OT and vision therapy.
In this picture Rebecah put her hairnet on me and masks are just required at the therapy center. The hairnet on Rebecah was to keep her hair and the equipment clean so they wouldn't get the other dirty. She was working with a laser trying to work on vision control.
The highlight of the month was going to St. Louis to surprise Heather for the 20th anniversary of her car accident. It was SO fun surprising her and she was SO surprised! We attended the temple on her anniversary and ordered sandwiches from Subway. We had a low-key weekend, but it was so nice to get away for a few days and relax. I plan to go back in 7 months for Heather's 40th birthday!
Chandra picked me up from the airport and dropped me back off at the airport EARLY Sunday morning. As we pulled into the airport I realized we hadn't gotten a picture together, so even though I looked a little rough, we had to document our time together!
My kids missed me a lot! I don't go away enough because they had a hard time without me and I received multiple texts, phone calls and emails all day, every day. I loved my welcome home banner that the kids made. It was Annika's idea and she didn't like that the other kids ruined the surprise.
Thanksgiving was fairly low-key. I had three appointments with Rebecah the first part of the week, so it was tricky getting all of my usual chores and laundry completed while also baking for Thanksgiving. The kids were a huge help on Wednesday and Thursday. Lincoln wanted to wear an apron just like I was.
The first quarter of the school year has come and gone. The kids have settled into the school routine. Indoor track started and Kimball is adjusting to new coaching staff. Kimball has driven a few times, but does not like to be pressured about driving. Joseph and Kimball attended an all-day interview so Kimball can be a foreign exchange student next year. Kimball ranked his top five choices and will find out his location in December or January. His top five choices are: Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, and Finland. He had a great time talking with students from other countries and hearing their experiences.
Rebecah and I attended Kimball's first indoor track meet. Kimball ran the 55 meter hurdles and achieved his personal best: 9.75 seconds.
