Pray for LM's Tummy

Many of you already know that Lucy McLean has dealt with some fierce projectile vomiting and abnormal bowel movements for some time now. Her GI Specialist called us with some test results from her "poop" study and wants to do an endoscopy and colonoscopy tomorrow. We don't think that it is a big deal at this point and I have promised myself that I won't get on WebMd. We are now in the colon clean out phase and so far lil' miss is doing great. I think tomorrow morning will be the rough part. She can have clear liquids until midnight, but zilch after that. So, please pray for us. We really want answers to all of this.

On a good note, little miss is crawling all over the place and sitting up from a crawling position. She was army crawling for a few weeks, but now she is full out scootin' around. We will post a video soon of this.

Billy Bob Skylar

So Melissa called me last week crying she was laughing so hard. Skylar had a tooth that was way loose. Melissa said that even when she would talk, it would wiggle. CREEPY. Skylar, being the oh' so non-dramatic child that she is, wouldn't let anyone get near her to pull it. So, Melissa took a picture. All I have to say is... I can't wait to show this to her first boyfriend. I was rolling on Saturday night when I saw this picture. It is just one of those you just keep on going back to.
Luckily, Skylar came to her senses and pulled the tooth. She is back to her fabulously beautiful self. Gotta love this child!!!
P.S. I still remember the day that I pulled 5 teeth at my sitters. Unlike Skylar, I was stoked about the tooth fairy. After I learned that you could put dental floss around an even slightly loose tooth and then put the string around the handle of the sliding glass door at the Sander's house, I went to town. We went on a pulling rampage. Mom figured out something was up when I called her around tooth number 3 or 4. Ahhh... the joys of being a kid.

Bad Aunt...

I am a bad aunt, I haven't introduced Lucy McLean's newest cousin yet. Mainly because I didn't have any good pictures yet. So... here is precious

Ella Baxley Monk

cutie patootie...check

a stinkin head full of gorgeous hair...check

What can I say, I sure am proud of Stephen and Megan. Ella is beautiful in every way. I can't wait to see her and Lucy McLean play together. LM already tries to play with her hair. I am owning the fact that we are pretty jealous of it. CONGRAT TO THE MONKS!!!

Sawyer Carlton Aiken

Our friends Elliot and Amber had their second son on Wednesday. They are also the proud parents of Mr. Wesley. Sawyer is a chunk a monk and a cutie patootie! CONGRATS AIKENS!!!

Miss Personality

Lucy McLean is developing her own little personality... full of spunk. She makes hilarious faces now that make us wonder what she is thinking. Here are a few of her sweet moments...

You only wish you knew what I was thinking...

If you are going to kiss... might as well go all out and give Mama some tongue!

Finally... Fall is here. I love wearing my toboggan from Aunt Sue!

Mama's Toboggan

We went to Grammy and Grandpa's this weekend. Mama's sweet friend Jenny (aka Henna) got married on Saturday. It was a beautiful wedding, but Mama forgot her camera.She is hoping she can find pictures through someone else. I got a special gift at Grammy and Grandpa's house...my mama's toboggan from when she was a baby. Daddy took some great pictures of me in it. ENJOY!

Love,

LM

Starting a Family Business?!

I love my daughter and we have been blessed more than we ever imagined with her birth and health. I often find myself wandering what she will be when she grows up. Some of the ideas are a teacher, lecturer, motivational speaker, talk show host, etc because she LOVES to talk, but we had a little insight this evening into she may be pursuing for the future!

PLUMBING anyone?!?!?!

Momma and Daddy really don't see a future here for me because they say crack kills in more ways that one.....but they both thought it was a GREAT picture for them to show all their family and friends! I am so glad they will be taking pictures like this one of me to see when I grow older!

Have a great day and God Bless You!

Lucy McLean
