Everyone had a long weekend. Thursday both schools had their Remembrance Day programs. Blake did an excellent job in the band. He has learned the trumpet fast. I really tried hard to get a picture of him playing. :)
Snapped a quick picture when they were all done. I thought I had time to watch until after the minute of silence with Blake and rush up to Leah's. But when I arrived at the high school they were cleaning up. I missed it. They ended 15 mins early then they had planned.
I picked up Leah and we went over to her first physio appointment. It was all so fascinating I forgot to get pictures. They did a lot of measuring of her movement and range of motion. And the way he explained things was interesting. Leah was given exercises to do at home. Basically simple. Blake was saying how easy it all was, until he tried it. With proper form they are harder then they seem. She has faithfully been doing them. Friday Dave had off. We decided to run up to see Cora. We are not sure we will see her until after New Year and so we wanted to take advantage. We started early in the morning to have more time with her. The roads were so bad. First 1/3 was black ice and tons of cars in the ditch. Second 1/3 had not even been plowed, last 1/3 was dry and nice.
We all went to lunch, saw her church and institute building. Meet a few friends, got her a few clothing items and then came back home. It was an almost 10 drive to see her for about 4. Totally worth it. Saturday Dave and I went to the community Remembrance Day program. Part of it was a song with slide presentation. The song was 'Soldiers Cry' Very excellent. Definitively look up if you haven't seen. Probably the most moving song I have ever heard for Remembrance Day. After we rushed back and got dressed warm to watch football.
One more game for us to watch. Sunday was wonderful. Relaxing with no where to be and nothing we had to do. Monday Blake and Leah were still off school. Blake stayed home and drew for hours. I took Leah over to go to school with Emily. She showed up in time for lunch, then Emily is in a cosmetology class and so Leah got a scalp treatment and her hair done.
Emily sent me this picture.
The last two are from Leah.
Emily did a great job. Leah's hair looked really cute. She then stayed for part of gym class. Had a blast. She got to see a lot of her friends and meet some new people. That evening was dinner, FHE, and relax. It is so nice to have a break from all the rushing around sometimes.
