Why couldn't chocolate pudding be like M&M's ... melt in your mouth .. not get all over your face??

Mari-Grace looks F A B U L O U S !!! Her lip is healing beautifully!

She is out of her NoNo's. Little stink didn't like them so much this time around, but she tolerated them.

Thank Goodness ... the anesthetic and pain medicines didn't interfere with her sleep this time around. We have had no night terrors. After the first week, the swelling in her nasal passages went down enough for her to sleep comfortably. We are back to regular sleep habits!! She sleeps from about 10 pm to 3 am in her own bed. She wakes up about 3 ... we rock 10 minutes or so ... the go back to sleep in my bed. Who cares about Co-Sleeping ... I say whatever it takes for both of us to get a good night's rest !!!

Countdown is on ... it is 14 days until her birthday ( 1 week until her Birthday Bash Fish Fry).

Yes .. we are having about 50 people in my backyard for a fish fry for her birthday. We are always looking for an excuse to have good friends get together! She is actually having 2 parties ... one for the grown-ups that love her ... and 1 for the kids we hang out with.

Cousin Caleb is hard at work getting the backyard playset assembled. Unfortunately it has turned into a major project. He is having to rip out 2 flower beds ... build the area around the playset and level it. Luckily I had my backyard extended by 8 feet ... or we wouldn't have room for the playset !
