Damon got to help in Paul's library in the mornings while I was in Mexico. He's in the silly face phase. :)
Tessa had her choir concert while I was gone too. I was sad to miss that. Paul said they sounded great.
Rockwell asked for another taco night with his friends. Paul made so much good food!
A few more kids came than usually do. It was a loud night, and the shoes were flowing halfway into the hall, and we loved it!! They're all such nice kids who were so grateful for the tacos. :)
Tessa's back at the physical therapist, this time for plantar fasciitis. We're pretty sure that's what it is. Both the podiatrist and the physical therapists said it's pretty rare for a kid to get it, but the chances are higher for a dancer/gymnast. We're trying everything we can to get rid of it, but it might just be something she has to deal with until she's ready/willing to take a break from gym and rest for a while.
I'm back in my doctor visit era. Rockwell most likely has a stress fracture in his right foot. He was out on a long run a couple Saturdays ago and his foot started hurting. It got worse as the day went on, and he had to admit he thought something was definitely wrong. There wasn't an incident that injured it or anything, it's most likely just mileage. Erica gave him a boot and told him to rest it as much as possible for a few weeks. He has another x-ray and appointment scheduled with the podiatrist next week and we'll be able to tell then whether it's a full stress fracture, or if it was just a stress reaction. We're hoping for just the reaction so it can heal faster. It's driving him crazy not being able to run.
He's wearing a shirt that he got at the Last Dinosaurs concert. He, Caleb, Luke, Ollie and Max went to their concert last week and had an absolute blast!! Rockwell said it was one of the best nights ever!!
Damon went with the Rosequists to watch Tristan's volleyball game two weeks ago. He's on a bantam league that starts in 6th grade. Damon called me and said Ms Aubrey was there and she said he could play on the team if he wanted to and so he was about to start a game. He was wearing crocs so he asked if I could bring him shoes. It was very confusing to me because I know you have to try out for that team, and Damon also told us he wanted to take a break from volleyball. It all just felt very urgent and confusing. I was available though and so I took him shoes and stayed and watched the games. They gave him one of the coach's shirts to wear.
He really enjoyed playing and told us that he really wanted to join the team. Apparently two weeks off was a long enough break for him. So, Damon's now on a volleyball team again. :)
Rockwell's track team went to St George for a track meet. He was bummed he wouldn't be able to go because he loves the weekend trips with the team. The coaches told him on Thursday that there was room for him to come along if he wanted to. He immediately said yes and started packing. He had a great time and was so grateful they let him come even though he couldn't participate.
Paul went to Hurricane with his friends from the school that same weekend.
They got a couple rounds of golf in, swam, ate great food, played games, prank-called people, and laughed until they cried. I'm so glad Paul had a fun, relaxing trip with his friends.
Damon loves to make himself scrambled eggs for breakfast.
Damon had his choir concert while Paul was in Hurricane.
They sounded great. I always love listening to their choir and orchestra.
I was looking at Tessa the other day and said, "You look taller." We measured her and sure enough, she had a growth spurt. She is thrilled that she can safely ride in the front seat now!!
