Checking in!

We have moved on up in the world, and I LOVE our new office. It feels so safe, and it is warm, and inviting too. That makes all the world of difference.

Tomorrow is Matt's first conference of the year.I am really looking forward to it. He has told me the last few weeks how much his teacher has inspired him to become a teacher himself. What a 180 from last year. He hated..but loved it last year, but his teacher! Oh man..Here I thought her being young and pretty was just what he needed. I was so wrong. This year he has a very matured teacher, and at first instinct, I was scared for him. She has been a Godsend for us!

After Matt's conference I go to get my very first mammogram. I am scared, and excited at the same time...I want a baseline to just make sure I am ok, but don't want to hear if I am not. I know that sounds strange.

I am now a eye glass wearer. :) it feels so good to be able to see the world a bit more clearer..it has done wonders for my marriage as well. Mike is very much into my new glasses, and reminds me when I am not wearing them. Who ever knew that glasses would bring a lil some-something to the marriage? HA!

We did the Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure, and I couldn't have been more proud to be a part of something so miraculous. Our town was amazing, and we had an incredible turnout. I didn't get to go last year as it was Mike's sister's wedding day, and coincidentally, this year it also fell on her baby shower, so we made it work, and we went to the shower afterwards. We had a great time at both events.

Matt has had dental surgery, and has to go back again in just a couple of more weeks. My poor baby. He had to have one tooth pulled to make room for teeth coming in, and will have a root canal the next go around. ugh...these kids and their teeth! He still may need to have braces, but it is a wait and see at this point. After this tooth has been pulled, we are seeing things straighten up a bit, and his million dollar smile is returning.

Kate will see her cardiologist in a few weeks to have her yearly heart check, so I am waiting to have them call us and schedule. They are moving offices now, so we have to wait till they are all settled in. As you know, everytime this comes up, it introduces all of those same fears, and sometimes more than others. She is very much shorter than most of the 3 year olds that she hangs out with..so I look at her and wonder if her growth spurt is coming, or if we are starting to see signs of other issues..but I don't think about that stuff everyday..just once in awhile. The girl has one heck of a vocabulary, and she is so dang smart. She can play the Nintendo DS like no other. We are continuously amazed at how smart she is, and how magical she is. Gee, do we love our kids much? ;)

More to come..
