Room Up-Date

This is what the room looked liked when we started.

This is were we are as of tonight. Still quite a bit to do but we have come a long way!

Carpet Clean-Up

This is the corner I started in. Once I got an edge the rest of the carpet came up pretty easy.

You caught me doing nothing!

This is what was under the carpet. A foam carpet pad that fell apart once you started to move it.

The floor under it all.

Braces Update

This is a picture just after Mackenzie got her braces on the end of April.

This is a picture from the end of September. Her teeth actually moved rather fast. She is excited and I am too. She now has the expanders (wires between the teeth to make room for her permanent tooth) on and they hurt only a little on they day they do the adjustment. She has been in almost no pain. Praise the Lord!

MOPS Convention

Heather and Stephanie patiently waiting for their ride!

What a great time we had with 4000 other women. The worship time is unbelievable!

It was great to have my sister Kristine attend this year. Dawn and I have both attended 6 conventions! Needless to say we always have a great time!

Run In with a Van

I just knew this day would come!
Last night we arrived home after dark. I got out of my door. Amber followed out her door right behind me. I stopped at the back of my van and opened the hatch. While the hatch was opening Amber came around the corner and the door caught her. We were Praising the Lord that the door did not hit her eye.

This morning we were the first ones at the doctors office. He worked us in. Removed the tape (okay, I went a little overboard with the tape. That's the only thing that hurt her was the tape removal) and found her wound was looking good. He said to keep it clean and don't put anything on it.
During the night it closed up quite a bit.

Friends Outing

Macknezie and I along with a friend from school and her mother, took off and went to Michigan Adventure for a day. The weather was perfect and we had a great time.

The girls enjoyed the rides!

They had mini Go Karts.

Before you know it she will be driving for real and waving goodbye to me.

The night in the hotel was a big hit! The girls were up...Had breakfast....and in the pool by 8:30.

What's up with this weather?

Okay...rain....sun....rain....rain....sun/rain.
This is how the week is going. Have made the most of the sunny days. Played at the beach, lunch outside, great bike ride with ice cream, dinner cruise (pizza on the pontoon). What more could you want from a summer day.
And those rain days have been great to get a little reading in. The girls have been playing great together. Harmony in the house. PTL.
Back to reality this afternoon. Laundry and so much more!
Looking forward to Movie night tomorrow!
