Happy Fall ya'll

O.K. Already!!! I have had a lot of subtle, and not so subtle hints, to get this page updated. Mallory is doing great!! She is doing everything a three year old is supposed to do, and everything a three year old is not supposed to do. :)

Mallory has started pre-school. Can you believe I have sent her into a classroom with 8 other kids ? She loves it and is already talking about when she can ride the school bus with Logan and Madison. She sings and runs EVERYWHERE! It is just amazing to see her like this. I was just thinking I need to get some new pictures of her on this page so you all can see how great she is doing. there has also been a new development. I have gone back to work 3 days per week for Dr. Gutz and Dr. Kohler. Yes, not only does Mallory go to preschool, but she also attends a wonderful in home day care three days. She really likes it there and is adjusting well. There are a few tears every now and then, but I wipe them away before I start driving so I can see the road. :)

We took a vacation to Valentine, NE this summer and spent a week with our heart friends the Tinant family. Their kids and ours are very close in age and are so much alike it is spooky! Their youngest daughter, Taryn , has HLHS, just like Mal did. Taryn has been able to go through the first two surgeries and will be having the third stage next year. Keep them in your prayers.

The remainder of the summer involved a lot of the time at the swimming pool, going to softball and baseball games, and more swimming. Mal loves the pool and at the end of August started putting her head under the water and opening her eyes to see who is under there with her. She even started going off the diving board! Our friend Lynn was in the water to catch her. :) We have now moved on to Logan playing full contact Football and Madison taking Jazz and Ballet dance classes. Mallory loves to learn the dance moves right along with her sister, and cheers from the sidelines for Logan. She also loves riding in the tractor with Scott and checking cattle with him. It reminds us so much of Logan at that age.

Mallory sees Dr. Gumbiner in October. A few days before we see him she always has a blood draw so he can check her medication levels. We do the blood draw at St. E's in Lincoln then see Dr. G in Omaha. We were running errands in Linclon the other day and drove past St. E's. From the back seat comes this little voice, "HEY MOMMMEEE! That's where I go for my blood drop! Do we go there today? Cause I don't like da pokey fingey day do dare. But I get two prizes and lots of stickers when I all done!" :)

Thank you all for always asking about Mallory and the rest of the family. We appreciate it. Well, you know me, it will most likely be a while before I get back to posting things, but don't worry, I'll get there! Have a wonderful fall!

Wendy and Mallory

Thanks for the update, Wendy! You would think we would run into each other more often so I could ask you in person!

So glad all is well with Mallory and the whole family!

I'm so glad you finally updated. I've been watching and wondering. I'm anxious to see pictures. I'm very happy to hear you are all doing so well. I will continue to pray for success.
