No House Yet

Well, we had the house inspected today and found out that the wood around all the windows is rotted. It's probably from water damage, but it is scary to see how much is rotten. The whole house has a wood frame, so it may even be from termites. So, needless to say we are cancelling the contract because we obviously don't have the money to fix everything....and quite frankly don't think we should have to fix so much on something we just bought. So we are back to square 1 and looking again for something else.
On a happier note, Macknezie saw her GI specialist yesterday and she no longer has to see him. She has been off of her reflux meds for 6 weeks and has done really well. She is off a premmie chart and growing wonderfully. Yay...one less doctor to drag her to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEW HOME

Well, we finally did it!!! We have bought our first home...we have not closed yet, but we should soon!! Our monthly morgage payment will be less than what we pay for rent, kind of crazy huh?!? I don't have any pics yet, but hopefully later this week I will. Now we just have to find someone to sublease our apartment!!! Obviously we cannot pay for a house and an apt, so please keep us in your prayers!!

Disney Princesses on Ice

Mike's company had some extra tickets to see Disney Princesses on Ice last weekend. I thought Mackenzie would be too young, but she actually loved it. She laughed and clapped the whole time!!! She loved all the lights and people. When Mickey Mouse came out, I thought she was going to jump over the balcony to get down to them :-)
Here are a few pics we took while we were there.

Hanging Out With Grannie

Mike's mom came to stay the week and spend some time with Mackenzie. They had a lot of fun all week while Mommy and Daddy worked!!!!

One more...wouldn't fit

This one wouldn't fit on the other post...

10 Months Old

Mackenzie is 10 months old!!! I can't believe how fast she is growing up!! Here are some pics we had taken at Babies R Us today...we were strolling down the isle and a woman stopped and asked if she could take some pics for their portfolio. Although Mackenzie has not been feeling well, she seemed to like the lady enough to give me a few smiles.

More surgery....

As some of you may know, I will be having more surgery on Wednesday. I saw the surgeon on Tuesday and he is not to pleased with the way the hole in my abdomen is healing. With my diabetes, it's just taking too long for him. I have seen him on a weekly basis for almost 2 months now, and we are beating our heads against a brick wall, so he wants to take me to the OR and clean it out. He thinks my body might be rejecting a stitch that's underneath my skin. He told me it is out patient and should be able to work right away. I took the day after off so I could relax, but hopefully will be able to work on Friday. I am of course nervous bc the last surgery was supposed to be out patient and we all know how that turned out :-)
Please pray for me and my family and I pray the God lays his hands on the surgeon while he does his work.

Lima beans and rice!!

Mike and I had lima beans and rice for dinner last night...and of course Mackenzie doesn't want her food, she wants what we have. So, I mashed the beans and mixed them with some rice and she went crazy...the bowl was empty in a matter of minutes.
