A lot of Changes!!!

I know that I haven't posted in awhile, things have been a little chaotic around here there have been lots of changes taken place!!
First off Reese got her cast removed from her surgery just for us to find out that the surgery again was not as successful as we had hoped that it would be! Therefore we are in the middle of a series of castings for the next 6 weeks in a final attempt to stretch out her Achilles tendon. She then is going to be wearing what is called an AFO brace, similar to an ankle brace 24 hours a day to help offer some support and add some height to her leg. The castings are hard because the angle that they have her knee is similar to when you are about to climb up a stair, it is at a very weird angle so her "good leg" is getting really strong, she however is not able to walk on it. By the way I am not sure if we had mentioned this but when she was still in her original cast she began to walk, she was walking everywhere, it was so neat, we hope that she will able to do that again once she gets her AFO brace on!
Another piece of exciting news, Nick has taken a new job!!! More details soon but we are so excited he was presented with an amazing opportunity and we couldn't be more proud of him!!!
We have also been very busy with Cally lately for she is in every activity under the sun, but is thriving! She is currently in gymnastics, dance, swimming, and preschool, I get tired even thinking about it but she is loving every second of it and frankly she and everyone else is so much happier with her in organized activities. We just had her first parent teacher conferences for preschool and she is doing great! She is getting a little tired on the hikes, but I think that has to do with the time of day they are normally hiking around 2pm which is when she is beginning to wind down, but otherwise she is making a lot of good friends and has become quiet the little artist, which I find hilarious because I don't have any artistic talent whatsoever!!!
All and all we are just glad that everyone is back under one roof, Nick has been out of town a lot and we have had two meals as a family in the last 2 1/2 weeks!!! Sad I know but we are looking forward to spending a much needed weekend together as a family after Cal's swim lessons of course and cheering on the Hawks!!!!! Have a great weekend everyone!
