I am still here, promise!

Wow. I bet you all thought I was done with my blog. I admit, I was a little worried myself! Life has been very crazy for us, and I was just never able to find the time (or motivation) to sit down and write a new entry. I got used to not writing, and it seemed like my blog slipped further and further away. I sit here tonight, ready for sleep, but determined to get back on here. So here is a brief (as brief as I can be) recap on what has happened since my last post. I will post a catch up eye patch post next.

I have a new nephew! Noah Edward James King! 8 lbs. 9 oz., 20.5 inches long. He is beautiful, and perfect, and I am already madly in love with him. I am going to love being his Auntie! My sister had an emergency C-section and had a seizure. It was scary for awhile. I spent the first couple of hours of Noah's life in ICU holding his mama's hand while she came to. It was so amazing when she finally got to see her beautiful little man. It was hard to see her that way, but I am so glad I was able to be there for, and with, my little sister. You are an amazing mommy already, Ash!

My husbands parents, niece, and daughter came to visit. It was packed, but such a great time. I really enjoyed their visits, and was very sad to see them go. It will be nice to see them again in a few weeks when we go down there.

My step-daughter, Maddie, is with us. It looks like it will be permanent. It is going to be a change for us all, but I know we will get through this and come out better people and a closer family. It may be a long fight ahead, but we will not give up.

We are moving. I may be scarce on here for the next 2 weeks while ironing out all the details, but I will post when I can. I will tell you all where we are going when we get there and I am sure it is our final choice. What can I say, we have been changing our minds so much lately, I have myself confused. So to save us all the headache, we will know when we get there! =0)

Health stuff has been on our minds. Not to go into details, one scare is over, but we are not fully out of the woods. All we can do now is wait.

Rebecca had a follow up for her eyes. She has only progressed a little, again, so now she has to wear the patch 4-6 hours vs. the prior 2-4 hours. She is not too happy with this, but is still hanging on like a trooper. She is awesome.

Rebecca got to fly a kite and eat a s'more for the first time. My husband and I built our fist outdoor fire together (we have done this before, just never together. Thought that was a little odd). Maddie got to run on the beach at midnight and eat roasted marshmallows in the ocean for the first time. It was a fun week!

I think that covers the majority. It has been so crazy, and there is still more to come! I hope I did not bore anyone by going on about things. I hope I can keep updated more often and spare you all the novel! Thank you to all who accept me the way I am!

I hope you all have a wonderful day and catch up with an old friend!
