Counting Down

 What to say about this week?  After the last few weeks, it has been pretty uneventful.  We are counting down the days until Merrick gets to ditch the heart monitor (1), the days until Jeremy's parents and brother, Jensen, come for a visit (2) and the days until school starts (9).

Carrigan had the most eventful week.  She spent the week in her happy place, at "Fiber Camp" doing all things crafty with her two of her best friends.  She made a pillow, headbands (which Elsie has been loving), countless needle felting projects, jewelry, embroidery, and a mosaic glass project.  It was the best camp she has ever attended and I am sure we will be seeking out camps there for many summers to come.  She also had a girls night and a birthday party.  It was definitely C.C.'s week.



 



After last week's update, I am sure many are curious about Merrick's week.  He is about the same.  He hasn't really had any big episodes, but the irregular beats are just constantly in the background.  He is very excited to get rid of the monitor tomorrow.  I also decided to try and get him in for acupuncture at my dad's college. Hopefully, I can get him in quickly and hopefully it is helpful for him.  Here he is practicing the "dad stance" with his cousin.


Elsie probably had the least eventful week.  She had a playdate and mostly hung out with mom at home.  That was ok with her though. Most of the week when I asked her what she wanted to do that day, she said "play at home".  We did lots of bicycle riding and playing with Barbies.  Late in the week, she did decide that she wanted to go to the arcade.  Merrick was happy to agree to that.



Only one more week of summer vacation, but with the family coming, it should be a great one.
