What is Normal??

This has been an interesting month. We thought we had this maintenance phase figured out and we were cruising. But, that's when things don't go the way you planned. Compared to the first 2 months, this one has been much different. Grant has not bounced back from the steroids like he was. He is still sporting a bloated tummy which makes him uncomfortable and move awkwardly. He has also been sick a couple of times and that is very draining. I can just see a difference when I look at him. And I think all of the physical things frustrate him, so he also struggles mentally and emotionally. Also, Trent has been sick a couple of times. They had to miss a day of school, music class and a birthday party. I keep telling myself that, for months, we didn't do one single thing. So, this is not that bad. But, it's very hard to tell Grant that we are going to do something and then not get to, especially not going to school. He LOVES school. He asks to do his school work at home too. All that said, I am continuing to learn to be flexible.

Everybody has had an okay day today. Grant and I went to music class and then we all went to ride the Forest Park Miniature Train in Ft. Worth. We rode for about 25 min. from one depot to another. We got off and played on a huge playground at Trinity Park. Then we boarded the train again and rode back to the first depot. It was really beautiful today and the boys absolutely loved it. Trent loves cars, trucks, and trains. Grant couldn't look at the camera in the picture where they are on the train b/c the conductor was saying "All Aboard" and I was not on the train. He yelled "No!" and then told me to hurry and get on.

Also, please pray for Grant's friend Lexi. She has been in the hospital all week and we are not sure when she will get to go home.
