Is it Friday already?!

This week sort of flew by! Possibly b/c we stayed so busy...not sure! Our first week of Kindergarten went GREAT! Jaxon is such a good "student" and SO eager to learn. This morning he went to take Maggie out and when he came back upstairs I was checking my email. He said to me (sounding rather annoyed, might I add) "C'mon MOM, I'm ready to start SCHOOL!" It was great!
Camron and Caden are enjoying taking part in some of Jaxon's school activities. They want to do everything he does but that's just not possible! They try and it's cute so I let them! They are so incredibly independant that it's not even funny. If I had a nickel for every time I hear "No, MY DO IT" each day, I would be a gazillionaire! If only "my" wanted to pee in the potty! Oh well, they will do it soon enough.....I hope!
I did have 2 dr.s appointments yesterday. One being my rheumy for level checks and the other being with my gastrointerologist for tummy issues. My rhuemy continues to think my muscle strength is wonderful which makes me happy. My SED rate is really good this go-round. My liver levels are still "good" and my CK has dropped from 1240+ to 804! That makes me EXTREMELY happy. He did, however, increase my methotrexate BUT he lowered my prednisone. I think the plan is to try and taper me completely off prednisone and if my levels stay "okay" or normal for me, he will attempt to taper the methotrexate. Now, don't get me wrong, this is not something that is likely to happen in the near future BUT it IS a step in the right direction which is a good thing in my book! I would rather take baby-steps forward than any kind of steps backwards!
Maggie is doing good. She is one spoiled doggie, let me tell you! The boys like to take her everywhere...that it's possible to take her at least! She's been to petsmart (of course), bruster's, and even to harris teeter! She is trying really hard to get the house training thing down pat and she's doing much better. She had her first vet visit today. It wasn't bad at all, although, it made Jax really nervous!
Last but certainly not least, Daddy-O is great as well. He is counting down the days until we go to the beach for vacation! I think we all are! Yep, that's right! We are taking the circus on the road! The whole fam and the dog! Poor Bailey is going to stay home and hold down the fort!
Well, I hope you have all had a wonderful week! Until the next post........tata for now!
OH, one more thing...I cannot even believe that one month from tomorrow my baby will be 5! AND one month from Sunday my itty-bitty babies will be 3! WOW!
