Picture Mania

Both girls are napping and I feel hesitant to move about the house, not wanting to wake either one since they need their sleep from past busy days. I've been editing some pictures from the past so I decided to post quite a few from the last few weeks. Here we go....



Macey is still obsessed with changing Kelsey's diaper. She does a pretty good job actually. Her favorite part is rolling the wet dipaer up and sticking the tabs around it. I know weird, but it keeps her busy and Kels doesn't mind.




Happy Kels with clean diaper on and tucked in shirt :)
Classic Mace, tired from a big day playing with her friends Bennett and Annabelle.
The only way to go about swimming with a cast on.
The girls hanging out with Bumpa at the pool.Watching Lisa's ultrasound at the revealing "sex" party. (IT'S A BOY!)
Good ole' happy Kelsarooroo!


Still determined to crawl, she can only figure out either her top half or bottom half.Big step for Mace, cutting the grass with Dad! Look she's driving it by herself! (don't notice Jason holding on below)

There it is! The Sold sign in the front yard....how nice.

goodbye cast, hello tears....

The cast is off! The x-rays looked perfect and it probably was healed about two weeks ago so she should be good to go, BUT we have one sad (possibly scared?) little girl. She was laughing as they used the scary loud saw to cut it off since it tickled, but as soon as the nurse removed the cast she started crying hard. We did start laughing because a small leaf had found it's way into her cast and was stuck to the back of her leg. For those that know Macey, her feelings get hurt quite easily if she's laughed at so it may have all started from that. She complained that it hurt, but they nurse said it was because it's just a weird sensation so that's why she's saying it hurt. She kept pointing to the garbage where they threw away her cast saying, "Put cast back on" I think she felt a lot more secure and safe with the cast being on. The doctor said there should be no pain besides possibly in her heel or knee as she starts walking again. Her leg that was broken is larger than her other one which is unusual and it didn't look too bad besides being more pale than her tan leg. Last night she was very sensitive and would cry at anything and would randomly say it hurt. I fear something is still wrong but know the x-rays looked fine. She keeps crossing her good leg over her bad to keep it protected without realizing it.
It is the next morning and she has yet to put any weight on it. She will scream if we ask her to. We're off to the beach here soon to sit in sand all day long and get her leg as dirty as she wants! Hope she enjoys this!

Here's a picture recap from yesterday.....

July 21, 2008

My mind is not feeling creative at this moment for a fun title as you can see. I am in the middle of packing up things today, but both girls are sleeping so it's time to sit and blog a bit.

First of all, ALL of Kelsey's tests came back normal which is a huge relief! So we can check that worry off our list right now.

My friend Erin and her boys, JR and Jacob came over last Friday to play. As you can see from the pictures, Macey loves this, but can be a bit in aew of what boys can do!

We went down to Colon yesterday to go through about 7 houses or so. Being such a small and older town there's not a TON to pick from. We are fine with fixing up a house to pay a lower price. We may have found the one, but we're still waiting to hear from the State with Jason's certification renewal before we put in an offer anywhere. We should hear by the end of this week we're hoping! I'm sure it will be longer, as this is all taking longer than planned. Until then, I just keep packing more and more so I don't feel overwhelmed right before moving. We will now close on our house not until around August 15 or so, this gives us more time.

We went to my friend Becky's wedding on Saturday night, which was beautiful. I work with Becky and our kids from class were involved in her wedding. They did a wonderful job! It was fun to see them all dressed up.

After one week of potty training, and only two accidents, we partially have it down. She only tells us about half of the time that she needs to go. She can hold it a LONG time and isn't always excited about going, but she's determined to stay dry. She only wears a pull up at night for bedtime, naps have been dry lately with undies on. At least I'm saving on pull-ups and she should fully have this down soon! I'm very proud of her :)

Macey gets her cast off tomorrow. This morning I asked her if she was excited to get her cast off and she said, "Yes, get blue cast on my other leg then?" I asked, "Would you want one on your other leg?" she responded, "Yes." She couldn't have minded this all too much then :) I am a little fearful of how her leg will look when they take the cast off. I hope it's not crooked or super weak and white looking. I will try to post pictures tomorrow of Macey "cast-free"!
