This Week

Not too much to post from the past week. The girls have been visiting their grandparents since Monday - I'm heading to pick them up today. Last Friday night we went to the drive-in to see Ratatouille and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (Peyton thought she better sleep through this one). We had a fun time. I thought Ratatouille was so cute and found this recipe on goodyblog to make our own ratatouille this summer, I'm sure my own "little chef" Peyton will love helping to make it (if nothing else, she will love meticulously layering the eggplant, zucchini and squash).

Crazy

Well, I see what I have to look forward to this month when Mackenzie turns 10 - kidnapping babies and drunken police chases (that will actually come next year at age 11)! But hey, kids will be kids according to the kidnappers stepfather. He says there are a lot of kids doing the same thing and getting away with it. Really, the same thing? A lot of children are kidnapping other children?

It must be an Enid thing - just kidding Matt & Rachel!

Speaking of news, Happy 07-07-07!

ACH Annual Visit

We took Mackenzie to ACH on Thursday for her annual check-up. We take her every three months but at her annual she gets x-rays, blood work, etc. and we get to visit with the cf team - nutritionist, respiratory therapist, social worker, etc.. It was a great visit! There were no changes from last year on her x-ray, all her labs were "normal", and her lungs sounded good (he heard something around her throat but just suggested she cough more to break it up). She also gained three pounds since March (thank you 600 calorie scandishakes), putting her closer to the 50% BMI that is our goal because they have found cf patients at 50% BMI or greater have better lung function. It was definitely a relief to have a good visit especially since tomorrow will mark one year since her hospital admittance.
