Results

Kelsey had her tests done this morning. The nurse said she was the best patient she's ever had and that I should write that in her record book. (I hope I remember to!) We will get the official results either tomorrow or Friday, but so far everything looks fine. There was no backflow up to the kidneys and that would have been the main problem as I understand it. It will be nice to hear the official results though.

P.S. Thanks to Bennett for inspiring Macey to become potty trained. This could be it.....

IT'S SOLD!

Well the house is sold, we all agreed on a price and everything is signed. It's a couple that are getting married in August that bought the house. We close on August 1st and have to be out by August 10th. We feel VERY relieved since it's amazing that it was only up for sale for a month! We have nothing lined up in Colon as of yet, but are going on Sunday to look at several houses. We will most likely need to move in with someone or down to a cottage in Colon that was offered to us. So now I just need to start boxing up things since I know these next 3-4 weeks will fly by. Already today has been filled with phones calls to the realtor, GVSU, septic tank systems, and trying to find boxes. Any ideas of how to get boxes? I also realized this morning that I had no pull-ups for Macey so I asked if she wanted to wear underwear. She was quite thrilled about this. So far she's stayed dry and has asked to go potty once. The other time I made her sit. It helps that her good friend Bennett is mostly potty trained and she is determined to be like him. So she will say, "Macey wear underwear just like Bennett!" We'll see how long this lasts as we've tried this a few times already. Actually the last time was the day she broke her leg and it was going quite well, but I've put it off since. But today, I really just don't fee like going out to buy pullups and if she's interested, I guess I better try. Might as well get a few potty stains in this carpet since it won't be ours anymore :)


I haven't taken any great pictures lately, but here are a few. Kelsey is getting much stronger these last few weeks as she's rolling over both ways and is starting to do an army crawl forward. She also scoots her legs under her and pushes forward. It's quite interesting to watch as she's SO determined and really "thinks" she's crawling. Her other new thing is sticking out her tongue as you will see in the picures.


Look at my cool hairdo in the back!

Yes, Kelsey really DID spit up in Jason's mouth!
Typical Mace, biting her nails hanging out.

A huge sigh of relief.....

Yesterday was a great day! It was our 4 year anniversary AND we got a nice offer on our house! We meet with our realtor tonight about what to do now, to accept/counter offer, etc. Hopefully everything goes through and we can get this thing sold so we can start looking to buy down in Colon. With how the housing market is right now and our house has been only up for sale for barely a month, we feel blessed in knowing this is the direction that God is leading us. He's watching over us :)
