Finally Back

Computer difficulties with Blogger have prevented access for months.  Glad that Cableone and Blogger and Google are finally all talking to one another.  Technology is great when it works and a pain like no other when it doesn't.

Too much has happened in the past five months to probably ever catch up on, but here it is in a nutshell:

1. Bailee did a one week master class with the New York City Ballet in Jackson during the month of August.
2. I had a reaction to prednisone and an antibiotic in the later part of August that turned my life and my chemical levels inside out.  I was very ill for a month, and am still trying to recover (my iron levels are still erratic).
3. School started for all of us.  A rough beginning for me (being so sick), but it is going all right.  Diana loves her new principal.  Bailee loves high school.
4. Bailee is dancing with the Moscow Ballet of Russia on November 25th in their local presentation of THE NUTCRACKER.  She's in the Chinese Tea Dance.
5. Bailee's studio is doing THE CHRISTMAS CAROL again this year.  Her main role is the ghost of Christmas future. 
6. Mom had some issues with her heart, but is doing better now.
7. Mom's brother and sister-in-law came to visit in September.  It was great seeing them again.
8. Diana has been passing tiny kidney stones for months.  I guess if you have to have stones, then tiny is the way to go.  We're hoping that we can get a handle on the cause in the near future.
9. Bailee is buried under homework thanks to her four honors classes, but she is holding her own.  She wants to join the track team this spring.

That's it, I guess.  We're eagerly looking forward to the Thanksgiving Break and time away from school.  The break begins tonight for Diana and Bailee.  I have to wait until the 27th for the start of my vacation.  Sure could use the time to catch up around the house.

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
