New Bike

Not a whole lot going on lately, I'm done with school so I have some time on my hands for the summer. Avery is signed up for swimming lessons that start the second week of June on Monday nights, she also has camp at Gale Woods Farm with Grandma Robin. Dance starts in September along with preschool. So much going on with her soon!

This weekend we went to White Bear Lake and got a bike that I found on craigslist. Its in great shape and was way affordable. Avery doesn't much feel like pedaling, or steering, so its kind of difficult going at this point. The same day we went to buy new streamers for the handlebars (which entailed going to Target, Walmart, Eric's Bike Shop, and finally Kmart before we found any) and at Kmart we also found Barbie rollerskates that go on your shoes on sale and got those as well. They came with knee and elbow pads. That was a bit harder for her and will definitely need some work. I got some cute pictures that I will upload soon.

Mothers Day

Well today was Mother's Day but Avery doesn't feel like treating me any different than usual. That is, trying to constantly be the center of attention and if she's not...well its just not pretty. My grandparents and Aunt Pam are here and we went to Kozlak's for brunch at 11:30. I was so stuffed that I didn't feel better until about 5 pm. After we got home around 1:30 we went to the Maplewood Mall. I got a few things at Penny's and at that point Avery was still being pretty good. We went on the carousel even though we had to wait for the guy to get back from his break who ran it at 3. Avery didn't even want to go on a horse she wanted to go in this little rocking thing. We were all fairly tired but we didn't leave till 4 or so.

I tried taking a nap when I got home with Simone laying on the bed but Riley was being naughty and kept coming in my room and barking at me for having her on the bed. I've been trying to keep her out more lately since she got sick on Wednesday. She can't use her hind legs and has insulinoma, but something else is going on because she should have been getting better at least a little on the Prednisone but she's worse. Then I messed up by giving her 0.5 ml instead of 0.05, so I ended up calling the E clinic yesterday to see what to do. Fortunately she's okay but I'm sure my idiocy didn't help her any. Monday her bloodwork will be back and I'm hoping it shows something so we can get her feeling better, because this is miserable.
