Catching up....

The last few weeks have been busy! 

Kade is doing so much better on formula.  However, he still wasn't sleeping like he used to, so I took him to the chiropractor.  Dr. Randy Schmidt is amazing!  He adjusted Kade's pelvis and back, and rubbed some pressure points.  Kade screamed the entire time that Dr. Randy was working on him the first time.  He was obviously very sore.  That night, he slept better.  He actually slept for 6 hours straight.  The second treatment was very much like the first one.  Kade screamed the whole time.  That night, he had the nastiest diaper I had ever seen.  We were traveling back to Mound City (more on that later)  and had to throw away his clothes.  It was like he had worked loose something toxic and it made it way out of Kade's system.  The third treatment, Kade smiled and laughed while Dr. Randy worked on him.  You could tell that he wasn't near as sore.  That night, Kade slept 10.5 hours straight!!!  I was amazed.  Kade now goes to sleep every night around 8:00, gets up around 4:00am to eat, then goes right back to bed til around 7:00am.  It is pure heaven!  Thank you so much Dr. Randy!!!

Marleigh has been doing much better the last few days.  She is no longer screaming when I feed Kade and has become way more interactive with him. We're hoping things continue to improve.

The weekend before last, we headed back to Mound City for Marc's brother's Memorial Softball Tournament.  Every year Marc & his sisters have a team.  We are not good by any means, but we have a great time and we are improving!  It is a bittersweet weekend getting to spend time with family and celebrating Matt's life.  While we are playing, we enlist the help of anyone willing to watch the kids.  Thank you Aunt Mae, Aunt Johnna, Aunt Pat, Paige, and Audrey for riding herd on the kiddos!  We really appreciate it!

This past weekend Marc was in Manhattan for the KSU game.  My cousin, Kevin, got married, so we got to see all of my Mom's family.  It was a beautiful wedding.  Congrats to Kevin and his wife, Kelci.  Two of my Mom's sisters live in Georgia, so we don't get to see them very often.  It was great catching up and spending time with them.  We hosted a little get together Sunday evening at our house, and it was a great time.  Everyone brought some food.  We grilled and hung out in the backyard.  Good times!
