They Come In Threes

1) I have already invited you to join tudiabetes (a social network for those affected by diabetes). But, I also wanted to share with you a new group that I started there, Parents of Kids with Type 1. So far it has 24 members. It's nice to connect with others that share my experiences. So, for you parents out there, join tudiabetes and then join the parents group. You may learn something or you may be able to give your own expert advice to help someone else.

2) Riley's last T ball game is Thursday and I have yet to post any pictures. I'm a bad mom. I'll get around to it. Holden, Michael, and I are also playing softball with a church league. Michael hurt his knee Saturday before last. He collided with another player in the outfield. He has a bad bone bruise that will take several weeks to feel better and about 3 months to heal completely. What is it with my family and joints? I had wrist surgery for torn cartilage a year ago, then Holden messed up his ankle, and now Michael's knee.

3) I'm late to the meme, but I'm going to participate anyway.
