A year ago today...(WARNING... kinda graphic pictures)

I found a lump on my neck one day and I was very worried that it was a tumor or something. So I went in to get it checked out. My Doctor ran some tests and it came back as a nodule on my thyroid that needed to be removed.
A month or so later I had surgery to have it removed and half of my thyroid. I didn't know it then but I guess Thyroid problems run in my family. (Yippee!) But everything went wonderful and now all I have to do is take a small pill every morning.

I had to go back in a few days later to get half the stitches removed. It felt so strange when the nurse was cutting the thread and pulled it out.

This is what my scar looks like today. I was so worried when my doctor told me how big the incision was going to be but I am very happy that you can barely see it now.

Sweet Sissy's....

I was going through some pictures on my camera and I came across this one of my sweet girlies. They were getting ready for bed a few weeks ago and they were being so adorable reading a story together. I couldn't resist taking a picture of them.

I know that some days are difficult being a parent but I think that is why we have camera's so we can look back a pictures during those frustrating times and be able to see these sweet pictures of our girls and remember the moment that we shared together.

It sure makes those frustrating times a little easier to get through.

The letter Q Snack

This was all I could find that started with the letter Q. Both of my girls really love these rice snacks. Macy would eat them all day if I let her. If you have never tired them I highly recommend that you do. They come in a ton of different kinds. The popcorn one is our FAV. !!!!

Karlee was so excited about getting to bring a Snack to school. She kept reminding me that it had to start with the letter Q.

I thought the kids might like a sweet snack as well. It didn't start with a Q but the brand is Quaker. It works!!!
