This week was a special week for soccer as today was the only day that Kylie and Delaney’s teams played against each other. The girls were both excited to play together, though they were both seldom on the field at the same time. It was nice to spend the entire time of soccer on one field and be able to watch both girls play. A little sad though because now we only have one week of soccer left for the season. The girls both did very well however, and as usual they had a blast!

Saline Music Festival
Tonight Melissa and I went to Saline to listen to the Saline Fiddlers play as part of the Saline Summer Music Series. The Fiddlers are all students from Saline High School and have toured the world. The show was simply amazing! I have always enjoyed violin and fiddle music, and this group was amazing. They had Violins, Violas, Cellos, and a rhythm section pertaining of Mandolins, Guitars, a Bass and Drums. In addition to playing music they sang some very wonderful songs and even did a few dance routines. I would love to see this group perform again as they put on a wonderful show and the music was fantastic. The fact that this group is entirely made up of Saline High School students is even more incredible.
Special Day at School
This morning was a special morning for Kylie and her class. Today Mommy came to class and showed everyone her violin. She told them all about the different parts and what they do, and she even let those who wanted have an opportunity to play it. Kylie was very happy and proud to have her Mommy show her classmates something new and exciting. A video of the event can be found here, but be warned it is 14 minutes long.
New Videos
I just finished adding three new videos to the site. Two are of Kylie practicing drills with her teammates on the first day of soccer, and the third one is of Kylie’s reaction at seeing her newly painted bedroom at Mommy’s house for the first time. They can both be found on the video page with all the others.
Tonsillitis?
Instead of going to soccer this morning we had the joy of going to the doctors. Last night Kylie was seeing and at one point she turned to face Mommy just as she opened wide to sing “la” when Mommy thought she saw something odd. She asked Kylie to come closer and to open her mouth wide and say “ah” so she could look at her throat, and when she did she got one heck of a shock. Kylie’s throat was red and her tonsils were so swollen that they were almost touching her uvula. As is typical Kylie was not acting sick at all and had Mommy not noticed her throat while she was singing, we most likely would not have known anything was wrong. So first thing this morning we made an appointment to go and see the doctor. When we got there Kylie was still acting perfectly normal, bouncing around and playing and laughing as usual, and this continued on into the exam room. They performed all the normal checking; she weighed in at 48.5 lbs and her temperature was 98.8. The doctor looked into her ears (which showed no sign of infection) and also looked at her throat. He said that her throat is red and her tonsils are slightly swollen, but the strep test they performed came back negative, though they will know better by Monday morning if the full test grows any cultures. At this point he suspects that Kylie simply has a viral sore throat and that it will go away on its own, and that as of now we should simple treat her symptoms and make sure she drinks plenty of fluids. I guess we will just need to wait and see what the next few days bring.
