Ice Skating

Update- I went to the DR this morning and nothing really stood out with regards to the headaches. It seems to be tention type since there is so much tightness in the neck and shoulders. He said I look pretty normal other than that so he decided to do a bunch of lab work and to order an MRI. I was really happy he wanted an MRI just so that we can rule out all the crazy things going through my mind. So, we should have approval on the MRI tomorrow and my goal is to get the MRI by the end of the week. I should know my labs tomorrow and I think most of that was to rule out infection or inflammation and stuff like that. Since my mom is our Dr's nurse she drew my blood right there and the Dr. asked if I wanted my cholesterol tested so of course I was interested to see how that would turn out so I will let you know tomorrow. Thanks again for all of your support with regards to the headaches. All of your comments and emails have just meant the world to me. Thanks for everything and I will let you know as soon as I hear anything.

First off, I want to thank so many of you for your thought about my headaches. I see the doctor tomorrow morning so I will let you know what I find out but I really appreciate your thoughts and support-- more than you know.

Last night after my headache eased a bit, we decided to go to open skate time at a local ice rink in our area. A bunch of our friends were heading there so we thought we would join them.

I thought we would try Mia on the ice to see if she enjoyed it. Daddy putting her tiny little skates on. I could not believe they actually had small enough skates to fit her-- but they did.

Here she goes!! She was really wobbly but did great and seemed to love it!

Posing for a shot!

Ethan is really good on hockey skates. He so badly wants to play ice hockey but we are holding off for now-- to many activities right now.

Owen did great as well. We will probably put the boys in hockey over the summer. The league goes year round at the rink by our house (not real close- about 20 min away) so when they have very few activities and we have the time to drive them all the way to the rink, we will put them in.

Brandon (Heather and Brian's youngest) loves to skate as well.

The tiny little skate-- so cute!!


Mia was very possessive of her little skates and wanted no part of giving them back to the man behind the counter. She finally gave in.


Mommy and Heather had fun as well!!

Today we had church and then went to a nice lunch at a really good Chinese restaurant in honor of Chinese New Year. Mia dressed in her Chinese dress for Church and then to lunch after. She looked really cute-- I will have pictures tomorrow. Tonight we went to an Ontario Reign game (hockey-- farm team for the LA Kings) with some friends from church and we had a blast. They kids just love hockey so much and always have fun at the games- us adults do too. I also have pics and will post them soon.

Have a great week and I will let you know how my doctor appointment goes.
