March 20

Well let's see what's new here in the life of the Thorne's?

1) We've all been sick with bad colds/sinus infections going on...a month? All four of us went to the doctor last week for antibiotics and seems were still waiting for them to kick in with the kids. They took 2 steps forward & 1 step back! Ugh!

2) Went to Monterey last weekend to stay with Mema & Grandpa at their time share. Leah had a great time...but still being sick-Scott and I were worn out!

3) I've been asked to be a guest speaker at the American Heart Association's "Go Red" fundraiser in May. So I finally was able to get all my photos sent to my contact for the slide show presentation and have my first "rough draft" of the speech completed.

I've also been asked to attend a Donor Appreciation Luncheon in May for my Donate Life group and I have to submit a 100 word "essay" for a book that the organization is giving to the donor families they are honoring. Still need to work on that & have it completed by the end of March!

4) Scott's Grandpa's health has taken a turn for the worse. He was diagnosed with Cancer awhile back-and being 91-declined treatment. He's gone down-hill significantly in the last week-Hospice was called in about 2 weeks ago and he is now "hallucinating" and not eating well. We visited him briefly tonight and I could not even go in his room-it reminded me too much of my Grandfather's last days and I was afraid I'd break down & I didn't want to make it any harder for Scott's grandma. He's home and he lives on the property with us so Scott's been visiting him daily since our return froom Monterey. Scott's mom is home and her brother and his wife are here too.

5)Nolan will turn 18 months on Monday. He has his "18 month" appt on the 30th so I'll post stats then.

That's about it for now. No new "news" on the job-front for Scott. He is still at Centex and will NOT be let go in March-that we know of.

I've added some new photos of the kids-and even one of Scott & I. Nolan got his 1st "boy" haircut about a month ago. Leah is so good with him (most of the time)and their favorite thing to do together is curl up in Nolan's bed & Leah "reads" to him or "tells" him stories. Too cute-I've not gotten a photo of it yet-but Scott snuck video of it.

Ok...that's really it!
