Big Weekend

We managed to pack a lot into another weekend. On Saturday Emily, Tracy, my Mom, and Emily's friend Oliva, all went to the circus on Saturday. We were lucky to get 4 tickets from the Nicholas Colby foundation again. Everyone had a good time. Emily spent the night at Grandma's house, and then went to church with her on Sunday. Before Emily was diagnosed she used to go to church with my Mom maybe twice a month, but hadn't gone since she was diagnosed. There were a lot of my Mom's church friends who were really happy to see her again. This afternoon we drove over to Santa Cruz and enjoyed an afternoon at the Beach Boardwalk. It was fun, but really crowded. Emily and Haley went on some rides, and after we went out for dinner on the pier. We had a great window view looking out on the Pacific Ocean at sunset. Emily REALLY wanted to try clams, and she got them and loved them.

This will be a big week. We start Phase 4 on Tuesday, and school starts Thursday. I will post again Tuesday once phase 4 has started. I have enjoyed a taking it easy on the blog this week, so I can keep it up through phase 4 and 5. So here we go...........
