Mya's Ice Cream Birthday Party

Lexi attended a fabulous birthday party today at her friend, Mya's house. Mya's mom is an amazing scrapbook queen and gets many of her layouts published. Her is the link to this event:

Ice Cream Celebration

The girls had a great time and were raving about all of the decorations around her home - both for the party and general home décor. The most amazing thing is that her mom just gave birth to a little girl about a month ago and she pulled this all together.

Grandma’s First Chemotherapy

Grandma Margie had her first chemotherapy today. She was feeling great before it started and was a little apprehensive about how she would be feeling later. The first three months, the plan is to have chemo every 3 weeks. After Christmas, she'll switch to every week for another three months. Once that is completed (if everything goes according to plan), they will do a mastectomy and reconstruction.

First Week of King & I Rehearsals

As if Grandma getting breast cancer, Hurricane Harvey, church, and regular life is not hectic enough, I had my kids, two friends from church, and a neighbor try out for the King & I at World Theater. Not only did they make it into the play, but at the read-through I was asked to join the cast as one of the wives. We have four rehearsals a week for the next six weeks. While it seems like too much to take on, it also seems like an amazing opportunity. The Director was a director on Broadway and has worked with Audrey Hepburn, Mickey Rooney, and Julio Iglesias to name a few. The kids don't know any of those actors, but they were impressed when I told them.

Nail Salon Party

Hurricane Harvey hit our area pretty hard. It dumped an insane amount of water here. School has been out for 10 days (Sept 1st - tomorrow). Many of our friends at church lost their homes in the flooding. School is back in tomorrow, so one of the ladies from church invited all the girls to her house this afternoon for a nail salon party. She wanted to help them all look good for their second first day. They had so much fun being together and now they'll look cute too.
