Saturday

This weekend we have been focusing on Aly, of course.  We have been making sure she gets to do what she wants to do as much as we can!  Yesterday, she wanted to go tubing but none of her close friends were around (that like to go tubing) to invite along, so she went with her 2nd choice.  She invited her good friend Maddie B. to join us in a visit to Dave & Busters.  They had a blast.  It is funny that they ate the same things for dinner and wanted the exact same prizes after playing games.  Gotta love those big ties!  They are so cute.  Maddie also stayed for a sleepover last night.
The other things on Aly's wish list are to vacuum out a car and to go golfing.  I know, odd choices right?  So, this morning she vacuumed Kevin's truck.  Aly loves to help, loves to be organized.  She needs to give some lessons to her big brother!  :)  The other choice she made, golfing, is still making me go, "hmmm."  Kevin, Tom and I love to golf.  I'm thinking she wants to golf because we love it so much.  She hates it.  She's always hated it.  Usually, we've had her come along, because we couldn't leave her at home alone, and she would be so bored just sitting on the golf cart.  She never wanted to golf.  She's tried it.  She has her own golf clubs.  She is really good at hitting the ball, but she just doesn't like it.  So, this is why I say, "hmmm..." I think we will go on Sunday.  It is supposed to be stormy this afternoon.  Sunday is supposed to be nice, cooler weather.
We also have to make a trip to the hospital this weekend for blood tests to get ready for Aly's surgery.  Everything has been confirmed and we are scheduled for early Monday morning.  We have to be there at 6am!  We are not sure how long the surgery will take, sounds like a long process.  I will try to post as soon as we know what is happening...Please keep the prayers flowing.
