Great-Grandpa Hammond

This visit was a long time coming. Macie met her Great-Grandfather Riley for the first time today! My grandfather (my moms father) is in a nursing home, since we will always have to be careful of what germs Macie is exposed to, this visit had been put on hold. The week before I delivered Macie was the last time I had seen my grandfather. We picked up Dairy Queen ice cream and set outside for our visit. It was a great day!

She loves her frozen treats!

I love how Macie is looking at grandpa and he has a big smile

Kindermusik

These are some pictures of Macie from her Kindermusik Class this summer she had a great time. She was in the Zoo Train class where she learned about the different zoo animals through music while ridding on the Allee-O (train).

Macie's Lab Results

Macie's labs are in and everything continues to check out GOOD! All of her levels are in the normal range. Finally! Normalcy!

She has pick-up a little cold. She has a cough and a runny nose. She was up most the night last night coughing, poor little thing. She is already asleep (it's 6:30pm), Mike is working late tonight, so I think I'm going to climb in bed with Macie and watch a movie.

Our Summer STL Trip

It was time for Macie's 3month labs, so we took a little vacation to STL. We stopped on our way to see our friend Alicia, she was ALWAYS good about coming to the hospital and visiting with us and bring us whatever we asked for, thank you! On our way we stopped by the toy store and yes we did spoil Macie just a little! She LOVED the pool at the hotel, I think it was her favorite part of the whole trip, OK I know it was. We visited Grant's Farm where she meet Bryon VonRosenberg the author of I Don't Want To Kiss A Llama! He read her the story and signed her book!

We had a great relaxing weekend, as relaxing as it gets with a two year old!

Today during Macie's labs we meet another sweet baby named Macey. She just had her heart transplant 2 weeks ago at 7 weeks old, please keep her family in your prayers. Macie's labs should be back in the morning.

How do you keep a princess HAPPY in the car for 2 hours..............

Give her 2 suckers!

Her new pot and pan set.

Daddy taught her how to bang them.............

Thank you Daddy!


WHAT popcorn in bed, does mommy know about this?

Yet another pool shot, this girl is a FISH.

She made several new friends in the pool.

On the train at Grants Farm......

"Please take me back to the pool, it's sooooo HOT!"

We put Macie behind bars to enjoy a cold afternoon drink at Grant's Farm.

Mommy found a new summer favorite....... Michelob Ultra Pomegranate Raspberry

If the suckers don't work give her a frozen treat!

We came home and went swimming again!

Macie LOVES the water. Every morning and I do mean EVERY morning before she gets out of bed she ask for her swimsuit! Maybe next summer we can talk daddy into a big pool! He caves big time when it comes to his princess.
