Long Day

Well, today was a really long day. We got up this morning just before 7 a.m. so that we could leave by 8:30 a.m. and drop Carter and Kinnick off at my mom and dad's house and then head to Mason City for Maddie's 10 a.m. doctor appointment. We spent from 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. for Maddie's evaluation with the clinical psychologist. He was really nice and we all felt quite comfortable talking with him. Maddie got to fill out some worksheets, draw some pictures, make up some stories, and all kinds of other fun stuff. She said that it was sort of like going to school. We do not know anything as of right now. The doctor told us that he would gather all of the information and sometime in the next 2 to 3 weeks will let us know where we go from here. By the time we headed home the weather was getting crappy and the roads were really slick. It took us about 2 hours to get home. We picked up Carter and Kinnick at my mom and dad's and Carter was so tired that he fell asleep on the couch eating some Kix cereal after only about 3 or 4 bites. He was TIRED! We are under a blizzard warning and if we get the weather they have predicted for us I would guess that Maddie will not have school tomorrow or Friday. We have kept our electricity so far and that is good. I guess we will see what this storm brings our way. It is now about 11:15 and I am tired. OH, ONE MORE PIECE OF NEWS, THE PENNY CAME OUT TODAY! Adam got the opportunity to look for it this time. I was happy that he got to take his turn. Love, Steph
