Suprise middle of the week update!

Gosh I sure am tired of this cold and rainy weather already! This week has seemed to really go slow but then again tomorrow is already Thursday. I just had a few minutes and thought I would update you all about the week since there is a party here this weekend and I might not get time to update. Scott and Haley haven't been feeling good but seem to be getting better tonight. Lets hope that continues and the rest of us stay healthy! Monday Scott and Tj went to Jui-Jitsu and had a great time. Scott must really be in bad shape though cause he came home with sore muscles and even some bruises. They are having a great time learning and will be continuing several times a week. Tj is doing step at school which is kind of like dance where they clap a lot and stomp their feet. It really is cool to watch and he is doing great. They are now practicing everyday of the week for a while because they will be performing in November sometime and need to get the routine down perfect. Tuesday Scott and I went to a meeting with our foster care agency to get updated on all the new changes that are coming to the foster care system in Nebraska. It really is quite overwhelming but hopefully for the sake of all the children in foster care all the changes will be a huge improvement over the current system. Tonight a friend of mine and I went out shopping for supplies for Tate and Tj's party this weekend. I got a call yesterday from the feeding and growth clinic in Omaha to tell me that after I called in Tate's weight check on Monday she has seen some improvement. In June when we were last there Tate was 11.4kg and now is up to 11.7 kg! To me that doesn't seem to be good improvement but hopefully they think it is enough for her to not a feeding tube again. Last week when we talked they had asked if we still had any of the supplies from when she had the feeding tube before. Since we rented the pump we don't have it anymore and I never want to have to deal with that stuff again so I am glad we didn't have it here on hand. They called again today and said they had a cancellation for the feeding and growth appointment for tomorrow. So now we will go to Omaha in the morning instead of the 29th. I am kind of glad that we will be getting it out of the way and see how the team thinks Tate is progressing. Keely is staying with a friend of mine so that will be a huge help so I can concentrate on what they say about Tatum. On Friday our friend is taking Tj and her kids to a Lincoln Star's hockey game instead of skating this week. Haley was going to go too but decided she doesn't know much about hockey and wasn't sure she would like it or not. That's OK with me cause I could sure use her help around here! Saturday is Tate's 3 rd birthday and next Friday is Tj's 12th birthday so we are having a combined party this Saturday. Actually it will be a birthday/husker party. I hope we have a great time and the weather cooperates. I will try to update tomorrow after Tate's appointment if there is anything alarming but we're hoping all is OK with the team and they tell us we don't need to come back for some time. Hope you all are having a good week!
