Peanuts

I have been meaning to do a blog for weeks, but something about moving and having two peanuts has distracted me ;) sheesh, where to start? So much new stuff is happening! Out family got moved and we are somewhat settled. I feel like living in a home is an ongoing project of "to do's." I think there are about 400 thinks I would love to do, but they can all wait. We love our new home. I have discovered having hard wood floors will leave your knees, feet, and back aching by the end of the day, but as long as Zoie can cruise in her walker I figure my pain is worth it. Maybe I need to invest in slippers :) Derik and I just celebrated four years of marriage together. Fastest four years I would say. I never thought we would be where we are four years ago, a few homes, two beautiful girls, and about 100 years more wise and mature here we stand! I love that man :) he makes me proud. Speaking of my handsome husband, he is part of an event or group this year for CF called Colorados Finest. He was nominated to represent what a hard worker, family member, a tie in with CF, and a good guy of character would look like. He has through the Oct 17th event to raise 15,000 dollars. Any ideas send them our way. We are going to set up the web page this weekend to kick it off. I'm proud of him and look forward to the Gala again this year! He is doing such a good job at representing his Zo-Meister :) Zoie-she is a straight up rock star right now. Weighing in at 24 lbs and 37 inches she has hit the growth curve people! 6th percentile baby! She is pushing up with her hands into a sitting position (which we have waited for for two years) thank you God, and she loves it! She has more independence this way. She has been standing well with assistance using her leg braces and I can tell she wants to kick this CP diagnosis to the curb.... Eventually :) today we had her annual visit at Children's for her CF with her pulmonary team. Let me just say, she has stayed so healthy this past yeR that her CT scan of her chest blew us out of the water. As we looked at it, her doctor told me as of now,her lungs don't even look like she has CF. I got tears in my eyes and thanked God for this. We need those healthy lungs for a long life with my girl. That's rockstar status right there. We are still dealing with seizures, so we always appreciate prayers for those, but overall, Zoie is my hero! Ivie Mae- well i call her my chunk! She is growing, and eating so well! You can't even tell she was a preemie :) I'm not used to this whole loving to eat thing either. She's my little porker. She smiles all the time, hates tummy time, coos and talks with herself, and has giggled A few times. We needed this little miracle in our life. She is easy , happy, and such a joy! She is now sleeping in her crib too from 9-4 every night so no complaints here. Our life is good right now. We have a lot to be thankful for, a lot of blessings. We are enjoying our family off four and the rest of summer. I'm soak in' up all these little moments with my sweeties before it's tell for cooler weather and pumpkin carving :) hope you all are too!
