Wow... It's been A WHILE!

I just wanted to log in to say - WE ARE STILL ALIVE!! It has been an eventful new year! I can't believe it is almost May ALREADY! McKade is growing up each and every day. He is always coming home from daycare with something new to say/do. Lately he is very bossy. STILL not gaining much weight. I guess we will never get to the "normal" size mark. He's destined to be tiny. I am thinking that he will be wearing his same swim trunks from last year this season too! For my spring trimester of school, I enrolled in 12 hours of classes! OOPS - what was I thinking? CT instrumentation & Physics, CT Applications, Mammography, and World Religions! The last one - World Religions - was HARD! I'm so proud that this semester is OVER!!!! 2 weeks out of school!!! Whoo hoo!! (well, week one is already almost over! oh well!!) We bought 3 bunny rabbits and got my friend Jessica to make Easter pictures of McKade! She is a SUPER photographer! Especially with my rambunctious hooligan. The weekend of the Easter pictures, we also gave Khaki away to my friend Scottie. She is doing great. She doesn't have a 2 y/o to try to bite and she is being spoiled by the minute with Scottie! We miss her here though & McKade has a couple of breakdowns each week over her. That very same weekend my brother-in-law, Tom, passed away from complications related to a broken leg. We think probably clot. RIP Tom!

What else has been going on?? Hmmm... I attempted a potty training weekend. Just let him run around naked one day and pee in the grass outside I was told... OK... easy enough? McKade streaked across the yard in nothing but his spongebob cap & flip flops and POOPED (yep, I don't make this stuff up!) in my mother-in-law's yard... oops! So much for the potty off the back porch idea. We are working on counting to 10 in English and Spanish (Heath is pushing the Spanish actually) and on ABC's. He is recognizing some letters. I have attempted letter recognition with him on my computer keyboard a few times. If I stick to it he will probably get it sooner or later. McKade's favorite movies are Lilo & Stitch and Pinocchio. I'm fairly sick of both of them! He is showing interest in Scooby Doo - so I still have some hope! We average watching Pinocchio or Stitch (just one or the other - we can't watch 2 DIFFERENT movies in one day) about 2-3 times a day. AIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

The Sweet Tea Festival started tonight. OOPS- I just rememebered it. I don't guess we will make it to that huh? Relay for life is this weekend. I will be working and miss it also. BUT next weekend- May 2 will be the 2009 March for Babies! WE WILL BE THERE! SO- if you want to come out and walk 3 miles with us COME ON! The walk starts at 10, but registration starts at 9 AM (I think) at Veteran's Park! Come support the March of Dimes and our McAttack! If you haven't donated yet - www.marchforbabies.org/mcsmom will get you where you need to go!

Now.. for pictures...

Fit throwing is what McKades do best...


Happy Easter!
