Is it Friday yet?!

Yes it's Thursday already but it still feels like this week is creeping by at a snail's pace. Reese was Star Student of the day on Tuesday. If only the Star Student could influence the election in some way... ALL of the conservative candidates we voted for lost their elections. And if that wasn't proof enough that Michigan continues to move "left," the two state proposals also passed. Prop 1 legalized the use of medical marijuana, Prop 2 gave provisions for stem cell research to move forward. This is definitely a reminder that we need to be praying for those in positions of influence in our country.



Yesterday I was able to help chaperon Drew's class field trip. We went to the Wharton Center on MSU's campus and watched a musical depicting stories from several children's books. It was very well done and lots of fun to attend. Tom took the afternoon off and, although we didn't get to see him much, our driveway is now sealed and ready for winter. I feel bad that Tom took time off work just to "work" here at home, though I think he is very happy with what he was able to accomplish.



Claire is still fighting off a cold but it doesn't seem to be slowing her down much. She is making up for all those months of contently sitting in one spot by crawling all over the house and getting into anything within her reach.



Drew had some lab work done so we can try to determine the extent of his allergies. The doctor called yesterday simply saying he wanted to refer us to a specialist... that didn't sound good. I spoke to the nurse and asked if everything was okay. She said Drew is allergic to LOTS of things including (but definitely not limited to): milk, egg whites, wheat, pollen, dust, etc. They just felt it would be wise to consult with a specialist... We have an appointment Dec. 5th with the Allergist and will hopefully get more details at that time.
