Reality Strikes Hard

Things are going great with the girls! Maryn is sleeping at least 6 or 7 straight hours each night and that is amazing! It gives me the energy to make it through the day with Mattie. I was planning on having Mattie on a better schedule by now but my early sicknesses slowed things down a little. This brings me to my next saga…..teeth. So we changed dental insurance last year and our old dentist was not covered. I tried a couple of times to make appointments with the dentist Matt was using but they wouldn’t call me back. It was irritating at first but ended up being a blessing. My teeth had been sore but I just chalked it up to the 3 sinus infections I had had in as many months. My teeth always hurt with a sinus infection. Well after all of the antibiotics I had to take the first four weeks of Maryn’s life, my teeth were still hurting. If the dentist had called me back I would have made an appointment for a later time, well when I finally got them they had a cancellation that morning and were able to see me. It turned out I needed a root canal and a crown. I am glad they figured out the problem but this has led to 3 lengthy dental appointments and I have no one to keep the girls. I panicked a little at first but once again God was looking out for me. My dad came up and stayed with the girls last Friday and today so that I could go to the dr. My friend Randi is keeping them on Thursday, well Mattie at least :) The last appointment should be short and I will just take them with me. I am telling you those of you who live in the same city as family who can help you out are truly blessed.

April started out with a bang. We took Mattie to see Disney Live! Mickey’s Rockin Road Show. She LOVED it! She really enjoys live shows! We rode the light rail train up into Charlotte and she enjoyed that too.

Making silly faces while we wait!

Easter weekend was great! Jason came up and was able to spend some great time with Mattie and meet Maryn Kate! We were also introduced to the song “Fire” by some 60′s singer, Arthur Brown I think. I haven’t laughed that much in a long time. I miss my brothers.

Not really feeling like pictures this Easter.

Pretty little girl.

Last week flew by!!! Mattie was able to play with friends on several occasions. I switched her to a Wednesday gymnastics class and that is working so much better for her. This past week there were only two kids in the class. She gets a lot more one on one attention and enjoys the smaller group. The mothers in this group are nice too. I decided to sign her up for summer lessons too. The coach for this group will be a man. I am interested to see how she will respond to a male teacher. We went to Family Fun Day and Fantasia Farms again and Mattie loved it. She used all of her tickets to ride horses. She rode 5 times! I wish we had the funds to support this habit.

This week’s mission is schedule. Both for Mattie and Maryn. We have four more months together and I want them to be productive and fun. My friend Randi Beals took some pictures of the girls and these are two of my favorites.

Baby model anyone? I think so!
