ups and downs

Today has been a tough emotional day for me.  My father is sick.  He went for his second round of chemo today.  It is hard for me to even think that he has to go through this.  The chemo is starting to effect his body.  The drugs are strong, I am not.  I have to remember he will be ok.

Ava had her little "show" of Green Eggs and Ham today at her camp.  It was the "big" finale to the two week camp she was a part of.  I miss my theater friends and wish I was closer so she could be a part of real productions.  After the show we went to Red Robin to celebrate.  My wish is sort of granted by running into a theater friend at the restaurant.  It is nice to see her and it is a nice surprise to my day.  Ava throws a temper tantrum in the restaurant...I know it is my fault for letting her stay up too late last night.  I am paying for it now.

We come home and Manny turns over.  My big round beautiful boy is growing in leaps and bounds and I am excited to see the person he will turn out to be.  Right now, I think I will give myself some visual medication that makes me happy and look at him all soft and round.

Ava came with me in the afternoon yesterday while I took photos of the camp.  She took her camera and was taking photos of textures and shapes.  I loved it.  She was ADORABLE and we had a really nice afternoon together just the two of us.
