Tuesday News

Addi's soccer team won again tonight! They are undefeated at 4-0!!! Addi actually made a pass that led to a goal tonight! Yay Addi!!! She also got to throw the ball in twice and kick it in once. Her coach does a good job at trying to let everyone get a turn.
In other news, PaPa Courington was moved to the nursing home today. It is hard to see, but the home he is in is very nice and very clean. He seemed to be doing some better today. The kids got to go see him today and they were happy about that. When Levi came in the room PaPa said, "There's my pretty boy!" Alzheimer's has to be the most evil disease. It takes your loved one from you, yet their body remains here. It's been very hard to explain to Addi that PaPa is sick. Up until recently, he has been able to walk around and to her he didn't appear sick. I think today is the first day she realized that he really is sick. She still enjoyed going to the nursing home and seeing PaPa.
MaMa is staying with Mom and Dad for now. I know this is a tough change for her, but I think she's enjoying getting to go to all of Addi's soccer games. She was cheering as loud as she could tonight!

Sorry about the family business. Alsheimers is a horrible disease. Glad to hear that Addi had fun last night. We were going to come last night, but Jared got home late because he was in an accident. He's ok, though, thankfully.
