Things Have Been So Busy Lately

Maddy's Feet

A lot has happened in our family since I lasted posted.

Maddy's Update:
Two bottom teeth have come in. That was lots of fun, haha. Maddy is now crawling and pulling herself up onto her knees. Her personality is coming out more and more. Maddy's feet look to me like they are going to need more help. I pointed out my concerns at the last ortho visit, but I think it is getting worse. Maddy has another ortho visit at the beginning of November.

Ryan, Maddy's Brother Update:
Ryan has started 2nd grade. He loves school and his teacher. This is her first year to teach. He is going to break her in good, I am sure. At the beginning of the school year, the kids were tested in reading. Ryan is reading at a 3.6 which means 6 months of 3rd grade. Nationally, he is in the 95 percentile for his grade level. Needless to say, I am so proud of him.

Kevin, Maddy's Daddy Update:
Kevin is enjoying "Maddy Time" while I am at school. He has several projects going around the house. He is putting our truck back together, it was totaled. We bought it back from the insurance company, and Kevin is fixing it himself. He has multiple talents. Kevin is also working on our boat trailer, it needs some minor repair. Everychance he gets , he heads to the Gulf to do some fishing. The last trip, I think only two fish were caught (a Spanish mackrel and a whiting).

Mandy, Maddy's Mom Update (that's me):
Schooolhas started back up for me also. This semester I am taking 11 hours. The classes are Chemistry, Spanish, and Crime in America. I am at the college on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Kevin watches Maddy while I am at school. Kevin works nights so it is starting to cut into his sleep time more now that Maddy is awake more. I am also getting involved in Phi Theta Kappa again. I was asked to be an officer, but I am not ready to commit to that again. Phi Theta Kappa is an honor society which is by invitation only to join. Members must have at least 12 credit hours and a GPA of 3.5 or higher. After this semester, I need only 3 more classes for my Associate's Degree.

Blog Update:
I am changing this blog to include the entire family. Although it will still mainly focus on Maddy. So Club Foot Readers don't stop reading.

I will try to update weekly to bi-weekly. Please forgive me if it is a little longer than that every now and then.
