getting ready for shriner's :(

Woo-hoo the kids are off for the week! I enjoy having them home, but it is a lot of work. I just think it's hard to keep the kids busy this time of year. Colin has all sorts of things to do, skateboarding, snowboarding etc... but the girls are a different story. I don't like to complain but I am ready for winter to be over! We are going to go snow tubing tomorrow with the Antons, I love snow tubing!!! And of course the kids do too.

We have to go to shriner's hospital on Thursady and I'm nervous. Everytime we go I think they are going to tell us it's time for surgery. I know she has to have it but I don't think I'll ever be ready. I joined a juvenile scoliosis group on yahoo and it made me realize how bad Nellie's back really is. Nellie now has a 56 degree curve. She hasn't had any surguries since she was little. I'm sure it will be worse now because she knows enough to be scared. It is going to be so hard, she has always been in Albany Med (only 15 min away) this time she'll be so much farther and she'll need to stay 2 weeks!!! 2 weeks is unheard of! She was home within a week after her heart surgery. Wellm needless to say I hope we can just keep putting this off and maybe meanwhile they will find a cure. We'll see what they sat on Thursday.

Colin had a great weekend. He had 2nd's & 3rd's in all his motos and had 7th places in his mains. I'm just happy he made his mains. He is really going to have to work hard this year, he's getting older and the expert class is no joke. It's hard to keep him training all winter, he's still a kid and he wants to hang with friends and have fun. Good Job Colin!!!!!
