another sunday night update...

this week really flew by fast...

lets start with ashley. she had to come home from school early on tuesday last week with severe pain but after that the week seemed much better. her cyst pain is somewhat annoying but tolerable.

the field hockey girls have three games this week and four games next week...guess what we are doing?!?! we are 4 wins and 0 losses. this has been an exciting start to megans senior year!!!!

school is school...lots of projects and papers and the usual stuff (although i am quite sure that we didn't have this much stuff when we were in high school...maybe not even in college...times have changed). between schoolwork and yearbook and field hockey and church and friends and an occasional family meal...things sometimes get a little scary around here. (plus add in watching the occasional varsity tennis match and varsity boys soccer games and varsity football games and senior tail-gate parties and tons of sweet 16 parties PLUS having three teenagers and only one "awesome" computer- thanks to our pepsi family- and only one shower and only one working van...things actually get a lot scary around here). there are days that i feel fortunate that we all still like each other BUT...at the end of a crazy week we just look back and see we made it through and we wouldn't trade the craziness or the togetherness for anything in the world...life is good.

tim was jealous...megan was invited to attend the STEELERS game today with a friend...she had a blast.

tim is getting his fill of football this weekend...we have high school football and we have college football and we have professional football...we have football highlights and we have megans favorite past-time...the ESPN bottom line...we even were able to fit in an hour of watching tennis this afternoon. i need my own TV set.

tim had an appt with his eye specialist on friday and he said that the eye was showing some signs of improvement. the swelling was down a bit and the pressure had improved a bit...we go in to see the oncologist monday afternoon. i will update mid-week on the high points of that appt.

tim still has waves of "good" and waves of "bad" but overall he is doing OK i guess. we don't really know what we are to expect so i guess each day that he can get up and get moving is a good day.

hope you all had a wonderful week.

thanks for checking in.

tim and tammy
