March 19, 2010

It has been such an uneventful month, REALLY! We are enjoying the end of Spring Break, a boring Spring Break for the girls. We did nothing and went nowhere. I worked all week, and that left Kayli to babysit her sister and do chores. No exciting vacations or trips...though we did start off the week paying a visit to her softball team at a tournament at SMGSL- ran into lots of our good friends who we've missed!!

So quick update. Kayli is doing well medically. She had a doctor's appointment this past Tuesday, and everything looked good from what I understand. I was working, so Mark took her. The doctor released her to play her saxophone again, and they also reduced her clinic visits to ONCE A MONTH!! She does still have to get labs drawn weekly, so they will be keeping a close eye on her bloodwork and med levels. But the once amonth for clinic visits is pretty spectacular news!! So really there is not much else new to share there. Her scar is healing nicely, and if you bump in to her you can ask to see it- she shows it off pretty proudly.

Some bits of news on Kayli- she will be going to the Senior Prom in April with Ryan. Has her dress picked out and its gorgeous. Its being altered right now. Fit like a glove, just needed to be shortened by about an inch. I'll post pictures after the big event. Her and Ryan are both so excited (and mom is too a bit?).

Kayli also will be participating in a pageant!! National American Miss. Sounds very interesting- scholarships and such. She was recomended by a friend, and received an invitation to an "Open Call" (which I am sure LOTS of girls get). We weren't able to make it, but we faxed in her application and picture, they called her for an interview, and they accepted her. She will go to a callback next week, where they will teach them modeling and go over what to expect. Then in June she will attend the state pageant in Houston, where she could possibly advance to Nationals. She is really excited. She and her sister both did glitzy beauty pageants when they were younger, we still have a garage full of tiaras and trophies to prove it...but this one seems to be a little different. Can't wait to see how she does with this.

She and her sister are still both doing really really well with their Cinderella rehearsals! Kayli as a servant and a townsperson has some key parts and does a couple of really neat dances. The servant dance is especially moving to see, lots of twirls and turns, and she does so well. Truly inspiring to see...so if you want to see a FANTASTIC show with a live orchestra and wonderful costumes- come see Cinderella. CYT is offering a special price of $8 per ticket if you act now and order directly from us before April 1st!!! After that you can order tickets online at http://www.cythouston.org/ at pre-show prices.
