Miss Peachy Beans: June 2009

I can't believe it's been almost 3 months since my last blog post! So much has been happening with Mia and our family and of course its all GREAT things!! I don't know where to begin because its just been a wirlwind type of time.

March 27th we finally closed on our house. A few weeks later our contracter started to demo the basement. It was completed a few days prior to our housewarming. George, myself and the kids spent almost every evening and weekend getting the house together. April and May we were busy with everything! Between our crazy schedules and having mom hospitalized again was the totally chaotic. Gods good will defintely pulled us through these past few months. May 2nd was the one year mark of Mia's diagnoses, it was quite bitter sweet. Mia was so happy to nearing the end of her treatment, it couldn't come fast enough. With the move, the girls started feel aprehensive about leaving their friends and mostly, Mema and Pop Pop. For Rachy's birthday in June, Mema and I took the two bigger girls to NYC for an overnight stay then a must needed trip to American Girl to get the new doll Rebecca.

On June 19th the girls finished the last day of school at Bungay, and headed off on a road trip with Mema down to Pennsylvania. With no children for a whole weekend, George and I busted our humps and got this move finalized. Now, we are in the new house and things couldn't be better! The girls have been playing with their new (to us) playscape from the minute they wake up until the sun goes down.

June 26th!! The BIG day! It was her last shot of the treatment!!! She wanted to do it early so she could nap before her trip to CoCo Key waterpark with her Daisy Troop. WHAT FUN IT WAS! I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate ending her treatments...whew...what an intense year! Then, Saturday morning we had brunch with Mema and Grampy at IHOP, also to celebrate. Well.....Mema got her girls tickets to see Hannah Montana in November!! How awesome was that?! I can't even explain how excited these girls are!

Today we had our visit with Dr. Joe's team of fabulous players...Mia is scheduled for her testing July 20th, and it was decided that she will keep her port in until next June. Mia will be recieving CT Scans every three months for a year. She will have Dr Joe once a month to flush her "tubies" and she is so ok with all of this. She is happy that her shots are done and life can resume!YAY!

We do have some busy months ahead but I couldn't let another day go by without posting. I am surprised Aunty Terry hasn't harrassed me about it yet! HAHA!

OOOOOHHHHHHH !!!! I know George and I decided to wait a year before getting a pet but one just so happened to cross our path. Ok, Ok so I went out of my way to find this wonderful new family member. IT'S A GIRL!!!! poor George! But we will be picking up our puppy from a wonderful family on July 17th! George and I can't wait but the girls have no clue. They have been practicing for "someday" with our stuffed english bulldog from Ikea, his name is Sarge. And its been the cutest thing to witness. I promise to post pictures as soon as I can! For now enjoy the ones I have just uploaded from the past 3 months LOL!

OXOXOXOXOX
