Wow! Time has gotten away from me!

I can't believe how fast this last week flew by! We have been busy busy busy!! We have gotten our hotel booked for Pie's appointments and all her records in order! We also have lined up a house and garden sitter! Just a few more things left to do before we are ready to leave! Can't believe the appointments are next week already! So far she seems to feel good with the occasional painful popping in her joints. I am hoping that she keeps going this way!
 Anyways, Pie got some very exciting news last week! She was excepted into a preschool! Pie wants to go shopping and then go to school! She doesn't want to wait anymore! LOL! I am also very excited for her. She gets an evaluation from them after we get back from MN and then she should meet her teacher! Gage has been being awesome too! He told Pie that if she "is naughty she will have to sit on the bean bag and brother had to sit there A LOT!"
 Gage did have a heart break this week.  When he came out of his friends house he was expecting his bike to still be sitting there but it wasn't.  Someone stole his bike.  Hopefully we can find it!

Thank You!!

I feel that the rummage sale was not only successful at getting us a little financial help but it also helped spread the awareness of LCPD! We had several people asking questions and being very interested in Pie's story. I think it helped me to grow a lot too! It was just amazing!! Thank you everyone!

Rummage Sale This Weekend!

Pie Pie and Gage had an excellent time camping with their grandparents. I also had a great time catching up on life! I managed to get the house clean, bills paid, and get organized enough to have the benefit rummage sale for Pie! I still have a few things left to do but it should be easy! I just hope we get a good turn out! Pie wants to make pictures and bracelets to sell at it too! I think we might work on that tomorrow! Maybe that will help her not be so upset with me. I made her mad by starting her PT again. She didn't have to do it when she was camping. I think she really liked the break from it but hopefully we can get back in the swing of things and have a great week!

Things Are Going Good!

Things have been going well for Pie.  We have heard little complaints but nothing major. However, she has been popping loudly but doesn't seem to hurt her to badly. She kind of sounds like an old lady crackling.. It turns my stomach every time I hear it but I suppose it could be much worse! Anyways other then that we have been really enjoying outside! We have been having BBQ's and going to the river. Today we had a picnic with Grandma by the river then went for a long walk! The kids found tons of fish bones they insisted on bringing home... Yuck! Then we went to the Crab Apple for some really yummy ice cream! Pie got the bubble gum kind! After that we went to the lake for a while until we decided to go see if Sparkles wanted to take the kids for a ride! Sparkles was happy to see us and gave both Gage and Pie a nice long ride! I think they missed her too! I am hoping we can get back to Grandma's soon but we have a very busy week ahead of us. Also, we might have a rummage sale next weekend to help with travel expenses and bring some awareness to perthes disease.  I realize we are not sure what Pie has but I still think it is very important to bring some awareness of Perthes!

Six Days and Eleven States!!

The week before last was very stressful for our family so we decided to tag along with my hubby on his work trip! I was a little concerned how Pie and Gage would handle 10 hours a day in a car but they both did wonderful! We made it a point to swim as much as possible and to get out of the car do some of her PT. We didn't do all of them but we did what we could! We also explored at every stop we made! I think it helped us all to get out of town but was even better when we got back home!!
 On Monday, we let Pie and Gage invite all their little neighborhood friends over for a BBQ and cake for their dad's birthday! We did a little bon fire and made smores! We also had fireworks until the cops came and told us we couldn't! Pie and Gage thought it was really funny that mommy got in trouble!! It was a lot of fun and through all of that we never heard Pie complain of pain in her legs! She did however mention her arms were bugging her.. I am hoping that it is growing pains but something inside of me worries it is more. I am very thankful that we have the genetics and orthopedic appointments coming up!  But I better get off of here and have fun on the 4th of July! Hope you all have a wonderful day!!
