Snow Day!

I'm glad we have a snow day today!

UPDATE - The girls played outside for almost 6 hours nonstop yesterday and it may be the same today. They only came in to switch out wet clothes for dry. It must be a super wet snow because their coats were soaked through and Peyton's hair looked like she just took a shower. I haven't gotten any pictures yet but the girls both took some...I'll try to post a picture off Mackenzie's camera later.

More Rise & Shine

Rise & Shine

Peyton's class had their Rise & Shine program at school two weeks ago (ouch, I'm late on this post). They sang a cute song and said their New Year's Resolutions - Peyton's being that she is going to learn how to play the violin.

I thought their shirts were so cute - class of 2019. Wow!

Mackenzie’s Check Up

Jason and I (Peyton didn't want to miss school) took Mackenzie to Little Rock last week for a check-up at ACH. She's gained 2 pounds, her lungs sounded clear. There were a few small changes in her Pulmonary Function Test but Dr. Warren said it was nothing he was concerned about. She is home sick today but I think it's with this stuff Jason, Peyton and I have been passing around for two months. I called Dr.Warren's nurse to make sure nothing had grown on her culture and there was nothing alarming. They did prescribe an antibiotic and extra treatments for a little while.

Please cross your fingers that we will get to see Dr. Warren in Lowell pretty soon. They are trying to get it set up where we can have her check-ups there (except for her annual which will still have to be done in Little Rock). The delay is that they have to have the Lowell CF Care Center set up EXACTLY like in Little Rock, including training on infection control. I'm just happy that when it does happen, we'll still get to see Dr. Warren because he'll be coming to NWA once a month to see his patients in this area.

While we were at her appointment I took a picture of Mackenzie and Dr. Warren. Mackenzie said I wanted it for my blog but I really just wanted to make sure I had a picture of the two of them because he is such a big part of her life – and of the quality of life she's able to have. His knowledge of cystic fibrosis and the care and communication he has with Mackenzie is everything we want and need.

Happy Birthday Cadence!

The girls and I went to celebrate Cadey's 1^st birthday (which is tomorrow) yesterday. We got her board books by Sandra Boynton…Moo, Baa, La La La was one of our very favorites. (Lindsay - I took the bottom picture off your blog :), Tara - start a blog!).

It Worked…

and it's great! Have I always been able to do this and not known? Mitzi, Lindsay, Andrea…is this how you do it? Not sure how to do pictures though…

Playing with the new computer

While playing with the new computer and Microsoft 2007 I came across a place where I can possibly publish from Word to the blog and I wanted to try it out! If this works, it will be fantastic.

Tomorrow! Tomorrow!

Actually more like Two days ago! Two days ago! Wednesday night the girls and I went with some friends for dinner and two shows - one at Shogun, a cooking show and one at the WAC, Annie. We had a great time at both (even if we did get the "white guy" at Shogun, I guess he still whirled and twirled the food :)) Peyton's ballet class is performing to "It's the Hard Knock Life" at their recital and she was disappointed her costume wasn't ready so she could wear it. She also thought a red dress with a white bow woud work, but we didn't have one of those either. A few pictures of the girls below - Elise, Mackenzie, Peyton, and Anna. We had a great time and really enjoyed the show!
