I promised some good/fun updates with pictures, and I have not forgotten. But I need Todd’s help with the picture upload, and he is very busy – but hope to add pictures soon. Andrea is home from school today, still asleep. She had an upset stomach over the weekend, making her very tired – so I will let her sleep some more today. She has been doing pretty good, everyday is better. I can tell she is feeling more herself because she is starting to laugh and smile more – but still not back to her 100% self yet. The school Christmas band concert was awesome, Andrew plays in it too. Andrea had a piccolo solo for the first song and sounded great, even though she had to use the schools piccolo – her piccolo is done for. The wet and cold marching band season was too hard on it – and it is now toast. Her CMACB Christmas concert is dec 20th at the Alma College – expecting a great sound from that concert as well. She loves playing her music. After Christmas break she will begin to ramp up for her 2 solos and 1 duet for the February district competition in owasso, her goal is to get an invite to state finals. She will play her flute and piccolo – she does not feel ready for sax, but we think she is. Not much else going on, just keeping up with her sleep and schoolwork is all she can handle for now. She is very excited about new years eve at GWL. GWLinvited her and 5 guests for new years. I had wrote them a letter and told them about her smelling chlorine every time she had a radiation treatment and that it reminded her of GWL. So they responded with an offer to stay two nites of Andreas choice and 5 guests, at no charge. They select families that have had a life changing event/trauma.So Andrea hopes to put 2009 behind her and ring in 2010 in style. Will try and post pictures soon. Oh, and she found her Chevy truck she has been wanting. Now she just needs to wait for April so she has her licence. Another exciting thing for her to look forward to – although she said she wants to get another job, don’t know how she would keep up with everything and a job again.
