The latest developments

Not much blogging lately, but I figured I'd update everyone on a few things.

First, Lindsey's thyroid.  The thyroid medication she's on has had wonderful effects on her.  She's much more able to sit still and to concentrate, she's much less squirmy, and many of her other symptoms have gotten better.  Unfortunately, a blood draw yesterday showed us that although the medication is helping her symptoms, the underlying disease isn't getting any better.  It's looking more and more likely that they'll have to ablate (kill) her thyroid before too long.

Second, our wedding.  We're now officially set for March 8 in the Logan Temple.  We had to move it from Brigham City because that temple is closed during that time.  We'll still have a wedding dinner back down in Brigham City after we're done in Logan.  And then Michelle will pack up her life and move it all to Minnesota.  Yikes!

Third, Michelle.  She's here for Thanksgiving, and things are going well with our family.  Tanner is now comfortable being just as ornery with Michelle as he is with me, which is just his way of accepting her into the family.  Very heartwarming.  Lindsey is responding very well to having a female role model who gives her lots of positive attention.  She's counting the days until Michelle comes back for Christmas, and Michelle hasn't even left yet.

Fourth, Tanner.  He's now started swimming.  He's complaining mightily about how hard it is, but that's because he hasn't been in the water for several months and he's horribly out of shape.  He'll get there.  It should be a fun swim season.

So, there you have it!  I'm still busy, but Michelle has made more good meals in the last five days than I've made in the last eight months of single parenthood, so that's been great.  Back to dinner from a box in a few days.  Sigh . . . .
