Life... is great really!!!! Sure, I have things I can complain about. But over all, everything is great!

Maddybug is doing GREAT! She is six months old now! Can you believe that?! She has turned in to a little chunky monkey!!!! She has little rolls on her legs now!! I love little rolls on baby's!! haha!!! She is eating like a big girl now! She gets cereal and a fruit for lunch. And she gets a fruit and veggie for dinner with us! She loves sitting at the table with all of us eating dinner! It's a bit messy, but fun none the less! So far she has had sweet potatoes, carrots, and we are working on squash now! No reactions to anything. And she loves it all! She has 2 teeth and I believe a third is trying to make it's appearance! She looks so cute with those two bottom teeth!!! I love it! She is just getting the hang of sitting up by her self. She can sit for a few minutes without the boppy and then she topples over. She loves tummy time! She plays and plays and plays!!!



 And she is wiggling pretty good now! Making her way around! In fact, I just ordered a gate with a swing door for the steps. I know she will be taking off any day now. She can get on her knee's occasionally, so it is just a matter of time.



She is also soo long now!!! I had to go ahead and order her a new carseat as well! I got her a cute Britax Marathon seat!!!! It was on sale for $100 off!!!!


Hopefully it will be delivered next week.

Nicholas is doing great as well! He is doing really good in speech! He is still caught up on the counting. We are working on it so hard, but he just can't get past four. His pathologist really isn't too sure why. But, we are working on it. We count EEEEEVERYTHING! We are still working on the potty training. He is great during the day and while we are out. NEver has an accident anymore (crosses fingers that I didn't just jinx it!) it's just that night time training that is still pretty rough. He is still waking up so wet! I even cut back on his liquids after dinner. But it doesn't help. So, hopefully someday he will be out of pull ups for good.

Mackenzie is getting more and more excited for school to start. She is STILL asking everyday if she has school tomorrow. I hope this excitement lasts into the next few years! She loves writing! We are working on her Kindergarten sight words now. I have made several copies and she keeps writing them out. We are also working on her full name, birthday, address, and phone number. She seems to be getting the hang of it. She wants to write them out all the time now! Next paycheck I need to start the dreaded school supply shopping. There is sooo much to get on her supply list on top of the uniforms for the school year. Ulgh! Thank God for The Children's Place and there coupons! Lol!!!! I am a member of their Place Perks and I got a $20 gift card for shopping there so much!!! So, I bought her book bag and lunch bag for a total of $3!!!


She picked them out and she loves them! It made her even more excited to start school! Lol!

Adam and I are doing great!!! We celebrate our 6th anniversary on the 19th! I still can't believe it has been 6 years already. But, then again, it feels like we have been together FOREVER! It's been an amazing 6 years! I can tell you that! Not exactly sure what we are going to do to celebrate. Probably just have a nice dinner together after the kids go to bed. I got him hi wireless rear surround system for the living room... and we bought a new point and shoot camera for the both of us (it goes underwater up to 10ft. He wanted it for when he deploys to Guam again). I am thinking about ordering a Mei Tai for my gift!! LOL!! Yeah, it's a baby carrier, but I REALLY want one! But one from an Etsy shop that I fell in love with! (THIS ONE!)

Adam finished his 7 level school right before my surgery. He moved to a new shop this week, and his leave was cancelled for our vacation back home. But that is ok because we are going to go up in December instead. We just have to work around Mackenzie's school schedule. He re-enlisted yesterday. So, we are hoping to get order's out of here in August. Yeah, I am hoping and praying. And I know I shouldn't get my hopes up, but I am. I want out of here dang it!!! Lol!!!! Orders would be lovely now!

Everything else is great as well! I had my post op apt with the surgeon today! He came in practically singing "NO CANCER!" Lol!!! It was funny because he has a really southern twangy accent! But, he was very happy with the way the incision is healing. He said the scar tissue will get smaller over the next 2-3 months and it shouldn't bother me at all. He said I am released from him but I need to follow up with the endocrinologist. I already recieved a letter from her and I have a follow up in October! I am just so thankful that it wasn't cancer! I mean, it wouldn't have been life or death at that point, but I am still so blessed that God answered prayers and that it wasn't anything more than a hard lump on my thyroid! Seriously... THANK YOU.... JESUS! So, now I just get it checked out once or twice a year to make sure the left side of my thyroid doesn't grow anything... But I am holding on to Faith that God is not going to let that happen :)

So, anyway... that is about it! I will end this update with some recent pictures of the kiddo's! My little Craig Clan!

Oh wait!!!! No it's not!!! I JUST GOT THE CARSEAT AND BABY GATE!!!! YAY!!!! That's nuts because I was just on the phone with the company this morning because it still says on their site that my order hasn't shipped. So they said they would release it today and get it to me by next monday. But here it is!!!! WOW!
