Powderpuff Football, More Birthdays, Imaginary Friends and MRI Results

Thursday we had dinner at Lane Community College with Joe and Sheri. The students in the culinary/hospitality program cooked and served a great multi-course banquet with a Fall harvest theme. There was an auction during the dinner for two groups of students to come to your home and cook and serve dinner. Dave had the bidding going on and got up to $250.00. But someone else ended up outbidding him. Whew! Thank you Joe and Sheri for the treat!

Friday Jill, Dave and I met up with Kyla, Jed, Emma and Isaac at Silke Field to watch Kelli play in the annual Thurston High School powder puff football game between the junior and senior girls. Kelli played lineman and did a great job. The seniors won of course and it was great fun to watch. Kells threw in a couple of good tackles (even though it was flag football and she got a team penalty for one of them) but she said she just had to do it. You should have seen the male cheerleaders.....not sure how many games those girls could have won if this went on for more than just one game. They were pretty unusual.

Saturday Tony took Dave to the UO football game and watched them lose to the Huskies getting soaked in the pouring rain. Afterwards we had a birthday dinner at GG and Grandads for Tony and Patti.

Sunday afternoon Kyla and Jed brought Emma to stay with Dave and I and then flew out to San Francisco for her Monday morning appointments. We were kept very busy with all of Emma's imaginary friends which change from moment to moment. We don't know what persona she will take on either. One moment she is Dora and the next she is Cinderella. We all have our own parts we have to play and answer to. Most of Sunday and Monday she was Baby Butter from PB&J cartoon on the Disney network. We also had to feed, bathe, read to, seat belt in her two imaginary friends, Oswald and Deedee. Gosh I am mentally exhausted today just from two days of trying to remember which character I was supposed to be and keeping up with her friends. It is a good thing though because it kept our minds focused on other things. Sunday evening Dave, I, Emma and Jill met Joe and Sheri and Joe's sister and nephew at Round Table Pizza for dinner and on Monday evening we took GG and Grandad to Thurston High School to watch Kelli's induction into the National Honor Society. Congratulations Kelli! We are very proud of you.

OK, the news is great......Kyla's MRI scans look great. No change from two months ago. Thank goodness....we are all breathing a little easier today.
