Prayers needed!!

My family & I just found out last Friday that my step-dad Terry has a tumor on his Adrenal gland above his left kidney. He went to a surgeon today, Dr. Day, to find out what the next steps are going to be. He also has a enlarged valve in his heart. He is going for a colonoscopy & to have a scope run on Wensday. As long as those test go ok then they are planning on surgery on Monday @ 9am. There is a few small things that are going on with this tumor but the all the doctors seem to tell us not to worry. My mother is do ok...I'm just asking for prayers for her & the whole family as this is very difficult for all of us to try to process.

A Very Quiet House!!

My girls went to Alabama yestureday with their "Nana & Pa". They are going to be gone for a week. Although this is a much needed break, I can't believe how quiet the house is. I could have thought a hundred times lastnight that I could hear little feet coming down the hallway. I talked to Donna lastnight & she said that they are doing good. She said that Carly only fussed when they were about 20 minutes from getting to Aunt Nessa's house & she said that she was saying "My house". I have no doubt that Molly will be fine. Carly on the other hand tends to be a homebody. Nana & Pa may not ask to take both girls again for a while after this trip :) Im not sure what to do with all this me time....

Fall Pictures of the Girls

I know that I haven't been the best blogger...and I'm sorry for not being able to keep up better. We are now finally getting pretty much settled & routines are back. For those of you who have children i hope would understand this a lot better. We all have been doing really well & feel very blessed everyday. We went to get the girls pictures done I think they turned out GREAT!! I will be trying much harder to keep this up....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARLY!!

Today is Carly Beth's 2nd Birthday! We aren't going to have her party till August 1st due to the move, but she won't know anything different. I just want to make sure I reconized it! Love you Carly!

MOVING!!

It has been crazy here at the Scranton house! We have started to move this weekend. I got most of the painting done in
The girls rooms done. The coming weekend is going to be the big move. We hope to get everything moved this weekend.

Molly's Dance Pictures

Molly had her first dance recital this afternoon. She was so good. I don't have picture from the actual show because they didn't let us take picture during the recital but I did get this back today of her all dressed up. She was so cute!! She was the first one out on stage and she loved it!! It was so hard to watch my baby girl look so grow up and big on that stage. I cried when I first saw her, and her dad told me that he had to hold back the tears too. Rob-Bob and Katie bug made it to the recital too. She was so excited that they came to watch her dance on the stage. Thanks Rob-Bob & Katie Bug for making her day!!

Praying Carly

Carly Beth was sick a few weeks ago. She wouldn't lay down anywhere but on our chests. During this time she fell asleep on me and when I looked down to check on her I couldn't help but to take a picture. I thought that it was so precious. The picture isn't so great because I took it on my phone. But she is still too cute :)

Molly's "Wobble Goggles"

Molly's Nana got her some new things for her pool. She got a new swim suite and some new water goggles. She got to get into her pool this weekend and wanted to put her new things on. I couldn't help but to laugh so hard when she came to me asking for help to put her "Wobble Goggles" on. Then once we got them on, I laughed even harder!! This kid is SOOOOO funny.

New Pictures of the Girls

I Love These Pictures!!
Molly is 4 years old and Carly is 21 months old.

We Signed on Offer!!

We are so excited!! We have accepted an offer on the house. It has taken two LONG years to get to this point. We still need to keep our fingers crossed because we still have to go through all the inspections that come with selling the house. Our agent should be calling us in the next few days to let us know when they should be taking place. The buyers have 10 days to get them done. Our estimated closing date is June 22. Then we will have 30 days to move out of the house. Which I don't think that it is going to be any problem to get moved out by then. We are very excited about the move but also kind of sad that we are leaving our first home together. Michael & I bought this house July of 2001 when we got married. We didn't move into it together until we got married in September. This has been the longest I've ever lived in one house. We sure do have some GREAT memories here, but it is time to move on. With our family growing we need more room. I will keep everyone posted as we move forward with this adventure.

Up & Running Again!!

Thank you everyone for all the prayers!! I'm feeling much better and starting to get back into the swing of things again. Thanks Rob for keeping everyone updated for me on your blog. Everything did go good during the surgery. I was just really sore for a few days. I went back to the doctor yesterday for a follow up appointment and he said that I'm doing well and can resume normal activity again. I wont go into all the graphic details about what all they did, but they did find some things we weren't planing on. But we got an all clear for trying to have another baby. I feel so blessed to try for a third child. Althou, it will more than likely be our last, for my body can't handle much more, I still feel very thankful. Again, Thank you Everyone for all the prayers!!

FYI

Yesterday we found out that I'm going to have surgery on Thursday. As some of you may know, I have a very bad case of Endometriosis. I went to the doctor yesterday to have the doctor check me out because I had been having pain on my right side for a few days. He was very concern for I was in such pain that he wants to do surgery because I haven't had a laparoscopy done since 2003. I'm doing a lot better with the new today then I was yesterday. I didn't want to have to do this. I've been putting it off for quiet sometime. But yesterday, thanks to my very best friend Rob ( Love ya girl), she helped me out by going shopping with me for our Mother-Daughter banquet dinner for church this Saturday. That really helped me keep my mind off of it. Also, I'm going tonight to go set up the table so that too will help me keep my mind off of it. When I can, I will post to let you know how things go. Please say a pray for me, and for my husband for he will be taking care of me. Thanks :)

YMCA Kids Health Fair

Last weekend we went to the YMCA Kids Health Fair and had a blast!! Molly got to play in a bounce house, see the inside of a fire truck, get her face painted and even ran in a chicken race. She cracked me up with her sunglasses. She wouldn't take them off for nothing. It was a great day!!

Molly & the Easter Bunny!

I had forgot to post this picture of Molly with the Easter Bunny. We got it taken in Georgia. I tried to get one of Carly with him, but most of you all know that she is not up to this kind of thing. She didn't want anything to do with him. She is sooo funny.

More Showings!!

Ok-so we are having another showing this weekend. This is going to be the 5th one in two weeks. I am trying so hard not to get upset that we haven't had anything good come out of these showings. I would like to think that I've been pretty patient but now it is running really thin. Please any thoughts or prayers would be great!!
