Thank goodness...

I went to see Dr. Ekman yesterday to get the results from my MRI. Prayers were answered, as I don't need surgery. He said it was the worst kind of MCL sprain you can have and a contusion and blood bubble at the thigh bone and MCL, all of which will heal in time. I still have to wear my brace for the next 2 weeks and for the next 4 to 6 months when doing anything rigorous. I am so happy that it wasn't worse. I feel better and know that it is healing everyday. Thanks for all the calls and well wishes, I felt them all!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MG AND MIMI!

A happy belated birthday to my niece, Mollie Grace who turned 1 on June 4Th. We have her birthday party this Sunday and we are very excited about celebrating her special day with her!

And happy birthday to Mimi! We are also going to celebrate with Travis' mom on Sunday. We hope you have a great day today.

Fingers Crossed

Last Thursday I hurt my left knee and thought it would heal on it's own. After a few days of increasing pain, I ended up in the ER at 7 am Sunday morning. They put me in a leg stabilizer, gave me some vicodin (which I can't even take) and told me to follow up with my orthopedist. Today I went to the doctor and was told, best case, I have a bad knee sprain and compressed medial meniscus. Worse case I tore my MCL and meniscus and need surgery. I have a MRI tomorrow and another appointment with Dr. Eckman on Thursday afternoon. I have my fingers crossed that it's nothing. I've never had any type of surgery and am pretty nervous about anesthesia. I let everyone know how it goes. Hoping for the best.....

Oh My!

So right now I'm on the couch after an amazing dinner of steak and shrimp, grilled asparagus, mushrooms and onions, listening to my husband clean the kitchen. My mom came by this afternoon and took Lily home with her and Charlie has been in bed since 6:00. I think I'm in heaven and this cold glass of chardonnay is sweeter second only to that amazing guy in my kitchen. Eat your hearts out girlie's....... :)

Weekend Wrap Up

What a great weekend! On Friday night Lily went with her daddy to Chancellor' s baseball game. He pitched the whole game and they won! Travis was beaming and said Chancellor and the entire team played their heart out and deserved the win.

On Saturday afternoon our dear friends, Jody and Dawn came over with Olivia and Rolland. Olivia and Lily had so much fun playing together and Charlie was fascinated with Rolland, I think he liked having another baby around. ;0 We had a great dinner and then Travis and I lost all of our hard earned money to Jody & Dawn playing poker. It was long overdue, since Trav and I have cleaned house the last few times we played.

On Sunday we went to Mass for the feast of Corpus Christi and then on to the church picnic. It was AMAZING! The kids enjoyed all the cotton candy, snow cones and lemonade. We really are lucky to be part of such a wonderful church family. That afternoon, our neighbors Mike and Tammy and their daughter Adrianna came over to play and have dinner with us.

Memorial Day was fun. We spent the day with the kids playing in the new pools and back yard. I was so happy to have everyone together under one roof for 4 whole days! I can't wait to do it again soon!

Hammock Time

Fine, and you?

I'm back, sorry! It has been a crazy couple of weeks.

Let's see, Travis is away, AGAIN, and it looks like he will be gone quite a bit in the next few months. As hard as it is to be apart and as much as I miss him I am so proud of his work ethic and his desire to a good job. The children really miss him and Lily ask if he is coming home everyday.

I have about 7 more weeks with Charlie before he will go to Janet full time with his big sister. When I think about it, I get a gigantic lump in my throat. I know I am incredibly blessed to be able to keep him with me the first year, but it's never enough. I was hoping that with the 2ND it would get easier, well, it doesn't.

Lily continues to be the comedian in my life. Not a day goes by that she doesn't do or say something priceless. Today she was playing over at my parent's house when she called out to my mom to come outside, because she had a situation! What does a three year old know about having a situation??!!
