Sweet Summer Time!

Well, I figured I should probably post now that I finally have some things to report. I think this blog did nothing but make everyone aware how lame we are :)

Let's see... last week we didn't do a lot heck of a lot. This week, we had Gannon's six month doctor's appointment. He got some shots which he did not appreciate at all! But we were talking to the doc about how much Gannon spits up still. He prescribed him with a low dose acid reflux medicine. If that doesn't work then we are going to try a higher one. G is still on am acid reflux formula which helped a little in the beginning. We will see how it goes. We also were told after Gannon got sick when he was two months old, that he has a heart murmur that was slightly abnormal but nothing to worry about. We had to make another appointment with the pediatric cartiologist who is from Sioux Falls in August. He comes to Aberdeen every other month. Hopefully we can get some more answers.

In other news, we will be going to Ohio at the end of July to visit Brad's family, which is definitely exciting because we miss them a lot. Gannon has changed so much since they have seen him last. I only have a few days of vacation left this year but it will all work out. We cannot wait! Neither can G :)

The lady at work gave us her old highchair this week at work for free! Woohoo. I re-did the fabric and made some other updates. It was quite the project but the whole thing cost $12! I am becoming quite the saver.

OTHER GREAT NEWS, we had applied to receive some finanical assistance from Avera after Gannon's hospital stay when he was sick. The bills were just piling up from that hospitalization and birthing him. I got a letter in the mail on Thursday that said Avera will be paying off 80% of our bills. That was such a relief! I hope some day I can give back to them. They will never know how much that means to us.

We also found a new babysitter. Courtney will be leaving us soon so we found this lady who just subs as a cycling trainer at the YMCA. She is starting a new daycare that will be opening in August. She is only charging us $90 a week! We will be saving about $140 a month. That is crazy to think that it would save us about $1600 a year!

Tomorrow, Brad and I are in a kickball tourney if it doesn't rain! It has rained almost every day this week. I think it should be a fun time. Tommorrow night, we are going out for my birthday which is on Monday. Goodness, I am going to be 24.

But I think I am going to take a shower. Gannon is already in bed and hopefully he will sleep through the night tonight like he has done the last two nights. Tonight is my night so everyone cross your fingers.

I will try to get some new pictures soon. LOVE YOU ALL!
