I am sitting at the computer in absolute bliss, my house is silent. Micah is sleeping and Emmanuel is watching cartoons, and for the moment all company is gone. We had Evan's parents out from Saturday at 8:30 a.m until last night. We had a wonderful time with them but it is nice to have my home back. I have a week to get things in order then my parent will be coming out.
On Sunday Micah had her 2nd birthday and we had a party, what a wild day. The house was full and lively, it was great.
Micah feel in love with the 4 princesses cake at superstore and then we found the same design at Dairy Queen. So we went with both, not on purpose of course. I ordered the cake from Superstore a week ahead of time and on Saturday Evan and I found the Ice cream cake and Dairy Queen said they could have it done on time so we order one. Long store short Evan thought I would cancel the order from superstore and I thought he did it, it didn't get done so we ended up with 2 cakes.



Evan and I bought Micah a Kitchen and she received lost of things that go along with it, She also got a little leap pad book reader, a cabbage patch kid and tons of other things. We appreciated everyone that could be there is person or thought.

On a completely different note I saw our family doctor today to get Micah's blood test results. These test where taken a couple weeks ago by her cardiologist.
The good news is that all test came back normal. The not so good news is Evan and I are starting to feel like we are living the mystery Diagnosis show on TLC. Micah weight has only drop a little bit more which is good but her attitude isn't changing. Her doctor now has passed her case on to a pediatrician and we are been sent to a support group for parents with chronically unhappy or strong willed children. He isn't sure is the group will help Micah because they aren't sure what is wrong yet but he is more concerned about Mine, Evans and Emmanuel's well being. We have been listening to crying for a long time already.
we will keep everyone up to date as everything unfolds. We are still praying that Micah just out grows it, but it also would be nice to know what is going on and how to make things better for her.

Full swinging summer

Life is crazy and is about to get crazier for our family. We seem to always be busy at home or on the run, summer is in full swing. During the week Evan works from 6:30-6:00 and every Tuesday and Thursday from 6:30-11:00 and I am at home with the kids. On Fridays and Saturdays I work out of the home at a restaurant. Sunday is our only free day and we always manage to double book us.
We have not seen a free weekend this summer and will not see one for a very long time. Up until this point we have had family over on the weekends but this Saturday Evan 's parents are coming out and after they leave my parents will be out. I am super excited to have family come to visit, This is the kind of busyness that is welcome.
Emmanuel has been loving the time he has spent with his uncles recently, we have spent some time with my brothers in the last little while.
Micah though timid has also been enjoying the extra attention, as for myself I have have been trying to relax and not think about when the house is quiet of visitors and all I can hear is "Mommy play with me" repeated over and over again. I can say with great confidence that I have accomplished very little around the house this summer, the kids and I have taken up permanent residence at the playground or water park.
We also will be getting some news on Micah's test blood test results taken 2 weeks ago. Her doctor called to set up an appointment to discuss something with us, I tried to find out what it was on the phone but the nurse was not aloud to disclose that information to me. I guess I will have to wait.

Anyway been loving the sun and summer but it is supposed to rain tomorrow so I will welcome confining the children and tackling my laundry and dishes.
