Celebrate

This week was a bit of a roller coaster. We took two trips to Urgent Care, for x-rays of Elsie's arm and my ankle. Elsie hurt her arm at school and I finally went for x-rays of my ankle that I fell and hurt three weeks ago at Merrick's baseball game. Luckily, neither Elsie's arm or my ankle are broken, but she is nursing some significant soft tissue damage. I get to go to an orthopedist to discuss the results of my x-ray. Yay!

On the bright side of things, this week we got to celebrate the end of an awesome dance season with Carrigan's year-end dance dinner and awards ceremony. C.C. had a great night and won the "100% award" from her coaches and the "determined diva" award from her dance team captain. I would say the evening was probably the highlight of her week, be she did also have a track competition and did a great job competing in her first relay race.

As I mentioned, Elsie had a rough week. She has had limited use of her arm all week and subsequently could not participate in her first softball game. She did get to have some fun this week celebrating others. She enjoyed C.C.'s dance celebration and she got to celebrate her friend's birthday yesterday.

As for Merrick, he has a lot to celebrate this baseball season. He team is currently undefeated and on a 6 game shut-out streak. They have not allowed a single run during league play. It has been pretty amazing. He personally is in a bit of a hitting slump, but I'm confident he will turn it around this week.

We are looking forward to another busy week ahead where not only do we have our regular busyness, but we also have something big to celebrate, C.C.'s 12th birthday.
