the week in review :)

Cora and Thalia have continued to recover from their surgeries and were able to go back to school on Wednesday.  They were both very excited to get back into their normal routines, but it was kind of bittersweet for me to have them go.  I had gotten used to having them around during the day.

Maizie went to the orthodontist on Thursday after losing her last baby tooth only the night before, and was told she can start her braces any time.  I'll be scheduling her appointment on Monday.  She'll be the last to get braces for a while because we have to finish paying for Jonah and Ethan's before we can add another.

Thursday was also the 3-month anniversary of my mom's death.  I miss her so much.

On Friday, Zoe got into a car wreck and totaled our little white Saturn.  Thankfully, she and the other couple involved were OK, but it's going to be hard for us to be without this car.  It was the car that was supposed to be going with Joshua to BYU after his mission.  There's no room in the budget for a replacement, plus our insurance will go up, so we're just going to have to make due for now.

Friday was really a bummer day, but Curtis and I went out with some friends to plan Zoe's and their son's joint graduation party, and then Curtis and I went to volunteer at Bountiful Baskets.  We had a really good time and it was just what we needed to take our minds off the events of the day.

Here are a few pictures:
