What has happened since...

It's been a while since I have last updated and a lot has gone on so let me get you all caught up. First, Madeline had a great birthday WEEK!! It began on Monday the 24th (her actual birthday) with cookies, candles, and presents from us. On Tuesday we took cupcakes and juice to school for her to have a party with all her classmates. Thursday, Papa and Nana Caldwell came down and stayed at the Great Wolfe Lodge until Saturday. We had a blast playing at the indoor water park. The girls LOVED it. I think my dad had more fun than anyone going down the slides and playing. Made him feel young again, I guess. On Friday afternoon, Gramme Mueller came and spent the weekend with us. She too had a great time on the slides. I just wish I had a few pictures of her going down the slides. Lucky for you Diane, I don't. Saturday was the BIG BIRTHDAY PARTY at Let's Jump. She had 21 friends come and celebrate with her. She had a blast and has already said she can't wait until next year. Sunday we went to the American Girl doll store in Dallas for her to spend the gift certificates that she got for her birthday. She got a new doll named Kit. All in all, it was a great week of fun for her. I just hope she doesn't get used to having a week long birthday. HA! Oh and we have a new addition to our family, Dory 2, the fish.
Many have asked how I have been feeling? So, so! I went back to the doctor on April 3rd. She ran several blood tests, an x-ray of my neck and shoulder, and gave me a toradol shot. All the blood tests came back BEAUTIFUL/PERFECT (according to my Dr.), the x-ray shows a little more bone spurring, and she has sent me to Physical Therapy for 3 weeks/3 times a week with a weekly injection of Toradol. I began that on Tuesday. It is going well. A little painful at times which we are trying to work through having no pain. If after these 3 weeks I'm not noticing a significant difference in my neck and back then she is going to order for me to have another MRI done. The last one I had was in June 2005. Let's hope that we can get to the bottom of this pain and that we can figure out a way to relieve the pain.
The girls are still doing great. We have had no illness (knock on wood). We are enjoying the nicer, warmer days. We are ready for summer and the pool to open. I have decided that Macy has no fears when it comes to water and she is a little fish. She is going to have so much fun in the pool this summer, however, I will have to keep a good eye on her because she has no fears about the water. We are now in preparation for Macy's 2nd birthday. I can't believe she is already almost 2. Time sure does fly. I got Madeline enrolled in kindergarten last week. She is ready to go THIS week. She can hardly stand till the fall gets here and she gets to go to BIG school.
That's really about all that has been going on with us. We hope that all of you are doing well. I will leave you with a few pictures that have been taken over the past few weeks. Enjoy!

Here are SOME of the slides that we ALL enjoyed (minus Nana).

Just a cute picture of Macy. I think she looks "bigger" in this picture.
