All Better!

It may not look like it, but Maddox is considered all better! He had his last CT scan on the 28th of October. We saw the Dr right after the scan. He told me that everything looks good and that there should be nothing else we need to do from this point on. He then shows me the scan. I about fell to the floor! Can you see that indent and the crack in the upper right part of the skull (the upside y is normal growth plates)? I couldn't believe it. Seriously, it just looks terrible. I am so thankful that it wasn't worse then it was. Underneath the skull is what they are concerned about and everything underneath is perfect, you can't even tell that there is crack. It's cool to have this picture, but scary that he still has a crack in his skull!

Happy Halloween!


I know I'm a little late. Who knew being a stay at home mom was so much work?? LOL! I rarely sit down at the computer during the day now. It's actually a good thing. I would say I was pretty depressed living with my parents. Not that I didn't appreciate it, but not having our own place was a real downer. I'm so happy now.

We moved in the week before Halloween. We were so excited to for the kids to trick or treat in our new neighborhood. The streets around our house are perfect for walking little kids. They had so much fun. Derek took them all out while I stayed home and passed out candy. It was so nice!

The American Dream

We are finally starting to feel settled into our new house. The kids love it. Reese asked to go back to "Grandma's house" for the first week, but now after we go some where in the car, she asks to go back to her "new house". We still aren't able to park in the garage, we have so much crap we have to clear out. Here are some pictures with the kids enjoying their new space!

Poor little guy always has bruises on his head. One is from him falling and the other is the result to a feisty big sister. She likes to throw things right now...at her brothers heads.
Seriously, I LOVE THESE KIDS!

Reesie loves to show off for the camera!



This is our family room. It's not huge but it's perfect. We also have an extra bedroom downstairs that we use for the computer room and their toys.

Mason is REALLY into making tracks right now. He loved trains when he was two but didn't have much interest the last couple years. Now he doesn't really play with the trains much, but he makes long elaborate track cities. This is one he is building through the hall upstairs.

It has rained buckets since we have moved in. I think this is the only day that it didn't rain. This is our backyard. It's not big (our yard end where the grass ends), but it's just enough for us. You can see that the neighborhood park is right behind our backyard. We are putting fence up in the next few weeks. but we'll put a gate to the park so we can get their easy.
