Our Sweet Family

I know you are probably all wondering how we have been!!! We are great! I keep Facebook updated more than I do the blog anymore, so look me up on Facebook! Life is busy, and it's about to get busier!

I just accepted a job teaching Kindergarten at Macy's school! I am so excited to get back into the classroom and am so happy to be teaching at the same school that my child attends :) I have a few things I have to work out with my license so I am hoping it all runs smoothly. School starts August 1st!

Speaking of school, Macy is now a first grader! Kindergarten was so much fun for Macy, and she is going to miss her teacher like crazy!!!! Macy is attending a summer camp for school-aged students at McKenna's preschool this summer. I am helping about about 1 day week to take the school-aged kids on field trips. So far they have gone to the library, out to lunch, and to a local park. This summer they will also be going to the zoo, the civic theatre, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and many more. McKenna has now graduated to the 3's classroom at preschool. She is a very smart little girl and has lots of friends :)

Medical update: The nodule Macy had has disappeared! Originally our surgeon wanted to remove it in April. In late March I noticed it seemed to be going away. I called the surgeon and asked that he put off surgery and recheck it in about a month. He agreed and checked it last week. It is gone! What was it? We don't know! We are just very thankful that it means one less surgery for Macy!

Macy went to her cardiology appt. in April. She had an echo and ekg done. The results showed mild to moderate leakage. The good news is that she has had this same amount of leakage for a while, which means nothing is progressing. Our cardiologist had always thought Macy would need another surgery in elementary school, but not she is leaning more toward teen years!!!! Riley Hospital has just started doing valve replacements in the cath lab, which means they go in through the groin and replace the valve. That means no open heart surgery!!!! When the time comes, we are praying Macy is a candidate!

Macy has managed to gain some weight over the last 2 months! She is up another 2 pounds. For some that doesn't sound like a lot, but for Macy that is amazing!!!! We are so happy for this progress!

In other news:

Jeremy and I just celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary! We headed out for dinner with our two sweet girls in tow. We had a great night! We are planning a date night soon (for just the two of us), and we have already booked a fun vacation for just the two of us for next year to celebrate 10 years of marriage!!!! More details to come soon!

Macy has started gymnastics. She loves it! She has a lot a stiffness and a hard time moving her body sometimes, but her teacher has done a great job working at stretching Macy and makes some accomodations if needed :) We think this is going to be fantastic for her overall physically! McKenna will start gymnastics in December or January (she has to be 3).

Last weekend we headed for a weekend at the lake! My parents were away on a boating trip in the British Virgin Isles, but all four of us kids were there with our families. We missed our parents, but we had a blast! We played games, grilled out, took walks, played at the park, went for a boat ride, went tubing, and had the famous Tom's Donuts for breakfast! It was a great weekend! We are so excited that our summer is beginning and our trips to the lake are finally back!

Here are a few pics of our life over the last few months. Enjoy!
