Yesterday was quite a day! It started bright and early with Nicholas and I (MOM) heading off with the entire third grade on a marathon field trip! We went to the Legislative Office Building, The Capitol where we met Claire Janowski, our State Rep., Tony Guglielmo, our State Senator and Jodi Rell, our Governor. We then hopped back on the bus and went to tour the Mark Twain House. At this point I was ready to call it a day, but shortly afer arriving home it was time to be on the road again for Nicholas' six month check-up at the clinic.
There we saw many familiar faces and many new faces as well. Nicholas was seen by Dr. Altman who said that we had reached a milestone! We now "graduate" to annual visits. Part of the milestone was passing the final chest x-ray required by the protocol, which he did! Yes, my happy tears were flowing!
You'd think we'd all be ready to call it a day by this point, but NOOOO....Kaeley had a roller skating event which we all attended. As tired as Steven and I were, we just savored every moment of being able to watch our kiddos skate around that rink! We talked about it being just an ordinary night for everyone else there, but it was far from ordinary for us! It was an amazing evening of celebration.
May your holidays be joyous and may you find quite moments amidst the craziness to count your blessings~
