Macy eating brownie mix out of the sink. She ate all the tops off the cup cakes.

Brooke gnawing on a beef stick. She doesn't do this often, but I caught her in the act. If she bites it off, she spits it out at us. So dainty!

I haven't posted in a little bit. Time has gotten away from me. We had conferences for the girls, all smart and social (of course). Leah babysat the twins while Megs, Ash, Steve and I went to conferences. She did AWESOME!! She even did Brooke's tube feedings and meds. WOW! I am so proud of her however I don't want to take advantage of that new little perk in our life! Megan's class had "student led" conferences. It was great to have her lead the conference, pray and go through all she has been learning. All of the girls are doing great and have such a love of school and for Christ. They make us so proud!

Steve's parents came home from California Saturday and my parents returned home from Florida Monday afternoon. YEAH!! All parents home!! Grandparents are a BIG part of my girls (and ours) lives. So we are excited to play with them again.

Brooke went to clinic Monday. All looks well. Her port is working great. Since there are no major changes she doesn't have to go back for 3 more weeks. WOW, and I thought getting rid of tubes was freedom :) Unfortunately she has to see her pulmonologist before that, so we will still be there, but in the big picture, it's all good. I again asked, because I like to be annoying :), does Brooke have enough of an immune system to go out. He said, like always, "where do you want to go?" I don't want to go anywhere, I just have a problem being told I can't do something :) Sometimes is a good trait, sometimes it's a bad trait. He said because she won't wear a mask, she cannot go anywhere. Examples: stores, church, schools, anywhere with pets, any heavily wooded areas. My next question, can she go to school? Yes, I'm talking kindergarten when she's 5 years old :) He said yes!!! Thank goodness. I told him if I had to home school her she would not be intelligent. So only 3 1/2 more years to go :) I love having goals!

Macy got a kids toilet seat stuck on her head! Steve was telling her to hurry and get it off before mommy got a picture and posted it on the blog. OOPS to late :) It took some serious pulling to get it off. HAHAHA!

This is Brooke's port sight. Looks good, just some bruising. This is a great look she gave me.
And, last but not least, in true Koeman girl fashion, Brooke was discharge from speech therapy. She might be delayed but she can get her point across. Who would've thunk, the 1st thing to catch up be her speech :) Especially in this house.

Steve is gearing up for planting. I am not mentally ready for this. But I think of where we were last year, and we are in a much better spot this year. He's been working some late nights already so I better get over myself and figure it out :)

Have a great week!
