Soccer Finale

We have just one more soccer game before the season is over. We had a great year and only lost one game. All of the girls on the team are about the same skill level so there was lots of action. Deiana is definitely one of the most intense players and you can see it on her face. These pictures were taken by one of the dads on our team. None of the girls on the team go to her school, and they are all older, but they are a good group and we hope to play on the same team next year.

Fortunately there has been good weather this fall and only two games in the rain. Wish I could get some brothers to come out to see a game!!!!

Jeremy is currently living with us and he takes Deiana to daycare before school on mornings I am at work. This is a huge help to us. Jordan is working and going to school full time so we don't get to see him very much. He is roommates with his cousin Megan. Deiana is at school each day from 7:30 to 3:00. She LOOOOOVES school!

Constantly Changing

Deiana is constantly changing so I am trying to keep up with pictures of her. My talented friend Debbie took these beautiful pictures, and there are more to come.

You may not be able to tell by the pictures, but its hard to keep her still enough to get a great shot!

Not quite ready to be a fashion model, more likely star in an action film. She has the drama queen part down pat.

Medical Update

For those who are interested, Deiana had surgery on her ear today. She had one retained ear tube that has been giving us problems for months. It has been constantly infected and apparently had tissue growing around it, abnormally. The other ear in which the tube fell out over a year ago is just fine. So they had to remove the tissue and patch the ear drum.
We were lucky to get a nurse today that I have known since second grade. Along with the fact that I work at the hospital, we had great VIP service.
Each surgery gets a little harder though, because Deiana is older and more aware of what is going on. When she gets nervous she gets more and more talkative. Before they took her back she asked the anesthesiologist (an older man) if he knew the chicken dance!?
Later, before we left she was doing the chicken dance with him and the nurse manager!
I told him he didn't give her enough anesthesia.
She is resting just fine at home now.
