Catch up Up-dates (Thanks, Verizon)

It seems very nice that I have not needed to update in over a week...that is a sign that life is "normal".

We spoke with the "Wishing Lady" as Ally calls her, about Ally's Make-A-Wish Playhouse. It is going to be AWESOME!!! They came by and took a picture of the front of our house, so they can model her playhouse off what our house really looks like. There is going to be a kitchen and a little reading nook. A slide will be involved as well....it is sounding like it is going to be way cooler than our real house!

Ally goes up to Dartmouth to start her next round of chemo on Monday...let's hope the pharmacy is on their game.

We are at the hospital right now and Ally's last bit of chemo is flushing through her lines. Yippie!

As a side note, the pharmacy was spot on today, probably thanks to a couple of calls from Ally's oncologist last week and this morning.

This weekend we had super lots of fun! (Hey, I only teach math this year, so my grammar is suffering!) On Saturday we went apple picking with Auntie Kelly. We all rode on a tractor, picked lots of apples and then watched the apple cider donuts being made. We then bought some of those tasty donuts and ate them warm!!!
On Sunday we met the Schulte side of the family (Grammy, Grampa, Auntie, Uncle (and Uncle's niece)) in Portsmouth to take some super awesome pictures at Prescott Park. Ally had so much fun with all the flowers and seagulls. I will be sure to post some of the pictures soon.
We also decorated the house for Halloween. Ally is loving the lights, pumpkins and mums that are in the front of our house. She is also loving the decorations across the street and "Marge's Pumpkin" next door. We are practicing trick or treating in the living room so that Ally will not be too shy when the real holiday comes around.

We are expecting a low key week and some more autumn fun next weekend. Have a great week!
