Life Lately

Tomorrow is the last day of September. I'm still trying to get caught up from July blogging. Maybe this weekend....

In the meantime here are some September catch ups:

Beth, Debbie and Dave came to visit early in the month. Above Ally is showing them a video she edited that she made at D&D's house in August. Making videos is one of Ally's favorite hobbies. She makes short videos 3-10 minute long. Some are about every gymnastics, some are American Girl, some are just silly. Ally and Becky took a class in August at our local Apple Store and learned how to edit videos and Ally is pretty good at it.

After church.

One of my co-workers got Ally an autographed picture of her favorite gymnast, Aly Raisman. This was her thank you text to him. 

One day we collected all of the hair elastics (pony tail holders) we could find and Ally counted them up. It was over 100. Then she tired to put them all in her hair at once.

After about 5" and 15 elastics she gave up on that. 

Before school. I love this outfit!

After school. Playing games with mama. 

Then one Saturday night Ally hurt her foot doing gymnastics in the house. It was pretty bad, she whacked her foot against a wall corner so hard she broke the skin. She was in a lot of pain. 

We missed apple picking with Guatemala Girls because she couldn't walk very well and the doctor said she should rest. Alice and Cheryl came to spend time with us, and Gabi and Rosa went apple picking. Roxie was sick. 

Later that week I had dental work done. 4 cavities filled at the same time. It was pretty bad. 

Then Ally got sick. She had a high fever and I brought her to the doctor, and she tested positive for strep and she had an ear infection. After 2 doses of her antibiotics she got an itchy rash. So back to the doctor we went. The doctor isn't sure why the rash, but changed the prescription and told me to give Ally Benadryl. Ally was feeling pretty miserable for a few days, and missed 2 days of school and 2 gymnastics practices. Good News is that her foot healed, and the antibiotics are working and now a week later she is feeling great. We have a few more days of medicine.
