irons in the fire

Let me tell you....we got lots of irons in the fire right now!  I'll share with you....

First we went on vacation!  We took mom back to where she used to live for a visit!  Marco Island, Florida!  It was nice....ain't gonna lie.  Nice! 

We sold our house....we actually got a contract on it before we went on vacation and my mom thought we should cancel vacation.  Uh, no.  Vacation was already paid for and I knew I would need this vacation...cause it was gonna get crazy when we got back!

So, while on vacation everything with our house became finalized and official!  When we returned we had just a matter of days...(like less than 10 days) to find a place to move to and MOVE!

We got it all done...with God's help!! 

So, we are now in the rental house....and as settled in as we are going to be!

Now, let's see.......Lucy had surgery Wednesday....this past Wednesday and she is doing great.  As always.  She's Lucy!

We were able to have the surgery in Cincinnati....so it was wonderful to drive up, have surgery and drove back home!  Wow!  Recovery in our own home....well, in our rental home! 

Here are a few pictures from the past couple of days.....

Check out those cute pants!  I love these "jammies"!

Sweet girl...always such a trooper!  She is my inspiration! 

See what I mean?  Cute jammies!!!

Keegan helped me pick out a balloon for Lucy.....we knew this would be a hit!!!

Praise God...she slept most of the way home....

My baby has to wear the head wrap for one week....

The surgeon in Cincinnati (Dr. Ann...love her!) removed Lucy's left ear implant....it was beyond exposed!  She removed the implant and closed up the remaining skin and tissue....it's all basically stitched to her head....from what I understand.

Lucy has never complained about any of her surgeries....not the first time.  But this time...since the implant had been in for over a year, all her little blood vessels had grown through the implant so it was tougher on her to remove it.....so she has mentioned a few times that her head hurts and her ear hurts.  Ugh.  Love her heart! 

Like I mentioned, she wears the wrap for one week!  We head back to Cincinnati on Wednesday for a follow up and wrap removal! 

Love that girl of mine!  She's done wonderfully.....she's played, she's sang, she's danced.....she's normal!  This morning she got her Daddy to play "cooking mama" on the Wii with her! 

She's good!  Please keep my girl in your prayers!
