I went back to the foot doctor last week. Since he adjusted my dislocated foot the first time, I can barely walk, much less run. Well, the bone had slipped out again, so he adjusted it again. However, I had other symptoms. Mostly PAIN, but also numbness and cold left foot. [...]

GO.FIGHT.WIN.

So Summer, of all people, decided to try out for cheer! I was quite amused when I heard this due to the fact that all her life, she has gagged and rolled her eyes every time the word cheerleader has been mentioned. The thought of giggly girls in short skirts did not appeal [...]

I Hope You Dance

Summer may not be an athlete, but she is a very graceful ballerina. At the beginning of this year, she was given permission to go on pointe. With my foot dislocated, I cannot even imagine dancing strictly on my toes. I honestly never thought Summer would go this far with dance. [...]

This weekend was the kickoff to the Spring outdoor soccer season, and although I looked like I was going skiing (it was 32 degrees when we left the house), it was sunny and dry for the players. As mentioned before, Michelle’s soccer team is very good. They looked so good out there (these are [...]
