Sir Henry

Meet Sir Henry.  Each visit to the chiropractor lately has been a visit with their new pet, a puppy that usually hangs out in Dr. Williams' office, but on special occasions likes to visit with customers.  Nana needed a visit with Sir Henry today, and it was just what the doctor ordered.  We were waiting in our room for our adjustments and massages and Sir Henry was there as well, keeping us company.  He's a very pleasant friend, calm and certainly loving all the attention he was getting.  Madison took this picture above as we were seated on the floor there, keeping him company.

We had a few appointments today, one of the other ones being a dermatologist appointment for Mom.  She was concerned about a spot on her arm that has been growing the last few weeks, and there was some slight worry going to the doctor's office this morning.  Fortunately, it was all okay.  The spot is unusual, but nothing to be worried about.  The doctor there gave a pretty thorough examination of Mom's skin, and she got the "all clear," and we were very happy to hear that.

It was an indoor sort of day, rainy and cold.  We had off of school, and we heard later on that the temperature tonight is supposed to plummet to such a point that all the water left on the roads might freeze.  As such, school has been pushed back two hours tomorrow morning.  The funny thing about all of this is that tomorrow morning we had another appointment, one at the dentist for Madison.  It's a routine visit, but you have to have these every six months or so.  Madison hates missing school.  I mean, it's a big deal to her.  So she was going to miss the first part of school tomorrow because of this dentist appointment.  And it's such an ordeal.  We're like doing the best we can so her teeth don't cause her trouble, and she's upset about missing an hour of school because of some extensive list of things that will happen during that hour that she's more than happy to share with you in bullet point form.  So God helped us out a little here, and said, "Behold!  I shalt solve the problem, and push thy school's opening time back to allow Madison to go to both the dentist appointment and not miss any school."  And there was much rejoicing!

Seriously, if it were me as a kid, I'd be trying to angle a way to take the entire day off of school.

Anyway, tonight we had taekwondo, and I was starving.  Our chiropractor appointment went a little later in Cumming, and the rain was torrential.  The drive back was insane.  Visibility was very limited, and the amount of water pouring down from the heavens immense.  We decided to drive straight to taekwondo to allow ourselves time to get there at a much slower pace, as driving conditions were so poor.  Upon arrival, I turned around and went over to Chick-Fil-A to get us something to eat.  We had dinner and a show!  The three of us were munching on dinner while watching Madison do her practice tonight.  Don't worry - we timed it right so she had a good meal as well.

Tonight we read from Batuu, and we are wrapping up the book of Matthew.  It's been a more intensive look at the first of the gospels, and it's been interesting looking back at all the prophecies and seeing different translations.  Afterwards, we prayed and were off to sleep.  Of course, every night there's still hide-and-seek, and the "Decoy Madison," a blanket covering some plush animals that is roughly the shape of Madison, usually found on the floor hiding behind something as a decoy.  And then, finally resting my head on the pillow for a good night's rest... only to hear that Frog Prince singing again...
