Spring Time in Texas
The weather is perfect, so we're spending the majority of our time outside!
The yellow gerbers P chose at Home Depot (Auntie Allie taught her well) ... all potted and cute in the front flower bed.
Catching up on the local news after a wagon ride around the block.
She LOVES to play in Daddy's truck when he gets home from work!
My Country 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty ... for Uncle Taco (when we ask Payton to say Michael, it comes out sounding a lot like taco) who will be deploying for Afghanistan sometime this summer after only being home from Iraq for 7ish months.

Say Cheese!
My camera (damn Amazon for lowering the price less than a week after I bought it!) came on Thursday! I'm so excited!! Elaine and I are looking for a photography class to hone our skills, but need something that's not a huge time commitment.
I'm looking for a cute camera bag, but it seems like the bigger the camera, the uglier the bag. I looked on etsy and found a few cute ones, but they're over $80.... yikes!

Lifesavers!
Our realtor is coming tomorrow to photograph the house, take measurements, and have us officially sign the papers to list our home.
LC and I still had a ton of stuff to do, so my dear, sweet, lifesaving parents offered to take P to their house for the afternoon. I seriously have the best parents in the world! We're so blessed to have them close and WILLING to take P!
In less than 3 hours, the yard has been scalped (LC found a crew in our neighborhood to do it today!), the carpets have been cleaned, toys have been organized, laundry has been started and our shower has been recaulked.
Aside from a few accessorizing issues I'm having, we're ready for photos!! Elaine, Mr Fix-It, and the kiddos are stopping by tomorrow before pictures to see what solutions they can offer. If you live in our area and want to stop by to offer your opinion, please do so! I don't want to spend any money, so I'm shopping our house and trying different things in different places. The problem is I don't like what I'm coming up with... I think I'm too close to the issue!

Preppy Tote Giveaway
Look at this fab preppy giveaway from Mrs Newlywed! I've been looking for a perfect pool bag and I think this tote would be great.
ENT recap
LC and I took P to the ENT on Monday morning. She still has a ton of fluid behind her ear drum that's causing the ear drum to not vibrate like it should. Praise the Lord, her hearing hasn't been affected. The audiologist said she had to get louder with a few lower tones, but P is still hearing on a "normal" level.
The ENT looked into P's ears and made some sound that didn't sound good at all! Both of her ears are STILL infected after 20 days of antibiotics. He thinks that the fluid is never draining out of her ears... that the infection clears up, but the fluid stays there and then gets reinfected after a week or so. He said without a doubt P needed tubes! I'm so thankful he was direct with us.
Miss Priss goes in tomorrow morning for her out patient surgery. The ENT will drain all the gook (totally his words - love him!) from her ears and then insert the tubes. I told LC last night that as gross as it is, I'd love to see all the stuff that was in P's ears!
I'm so glad we were able to see the ENT and schedule surgery so quickly and that Miss P will FINALLY have some relief!

Remember
these pictures from New Years Eve and Great Wolf Lodge? And how I look beyond exhausted? There happens to be a good explanation for those tired eyes, and they weren't only caused by this adorable 17 month old.
We found out we were expecting on Christmas Day (LC said he didn't see the line, but any woman would've seen it!)... talk about an unexpected Christmas present! I think God's still working on my need to control things... my type-A self was shocked to say the least since we weren't planning on even trying until late this summer! He knows what our family needs and how far apart our kiddos need to be!
Baby C #2 is due September 1, but my OB (a different doctor than I used with P) thinks I'll go at the end of August! He also offered me an elective C-section since I had a 4th degree tear with Miss Priss. God love the man that thinks that a tear that severe is a problem! I still haven't decided what to do on that front... the planner in me thinks it'd be great to know for sure when Baby #2 is coming, but the other part of me thinks why have surgery and the recovery if I don't have to?
In preparation for the new addition, we're putting the house on the market next week (we have our bedroom and P's bedroom upstairs and a guest bedroom downstairs... I don't want one kiddo downstairs by themselves), so many, many prayers are needed! I'd love to sell this house and be completely settled into the new one several months before Baby C #2 decides to make their entrance.
