Arietni joined Edda’s team this summer after Kitachi moved away. We are looking forward to the school year! Edda is happy in this picture, I just caught her at an awkward moment.

Jeremy is not feeling well. We had to cancel some evening dinner plans. Eliana (who was caring for Edda this week in the mornings) hadn’t been feeling well towards the end of the week, I’m hoping we don’t all go down.
I am slowly turning into my mother. Not a terrible thing, for sure. My mom is pretty cool. In my middle age, I’m picking up hobbies that I know my mother also enjoys. The quilting, for example. But quilting is a regular hobby, lots of people quilt. But the other, slightly odder, hobby that I’m trying to learn now is how to juggle & my mom is a pretty good juggler. Today Vince and I facetimed mom with our progress and, though she hadn’t practiced in a while, she schooled us. And then tried to coach us. I’m not sure I want my mom as my juggling coach. Or maybe that would be OK.

Jeremy made a delicious dinner tonight.
He has crazy arm veins. I’m hoping he’ll let me practice on them when I’m learning to do IVs.
The house smells bad. I think the outside temps dipped below the setting for the AC to kick on which then means that the humidity creeps up in the house which means that all the musty smells come out. Please someone save me. I should go buy some Febreeze. I should just turn the AC colder. Let’s take a tour of what the house smells like (the internet does not have scratch and sniff, lucky for you. Soon, I’m sure.) :
The sweaty gym:
Old pee-filled diapers:
A teenage boy (he’s asleep in bed there, in all his unshowered glory):

Edda (and Adriana) went to the dentist today. We had been so bad at brushing her teeth that the dentist put us on a 3-month checkup schedule. I retrained everyone to brush and floss Edda’s teeth and today she said if we kept it up, we could go back to an every six month schedule. Hooray! I always bring someone to help me with Edda at the dentist. Adriana held her head steady and held the bite stick in Edda’s mouth, I had Edda’s legs and hands and, boy, can that girl wrestle and flail around. We had to give a 2000 mg dose of amoxicillin prior to the appt to prevent infective endocarditis which she is more at risk for since the spinal fusion.
