Time for a breif update

Hello Again,
Just thought I pos an update on life in the Camping household. Things here are going well. I (Marion) had my gall bladder out 13 days ago and am doing well. It was a one hour laproscopic out-patient surgery and went smoothly. I am finally alost back to normal now- except I am not yet exercising again and think I better just hold off til I go for my post-op appt on Monday to get the all clear from the surgeon, just to be safe. I will soon be starting to work one day a week, or more like a half day. My mum will be watching Mckayla while I work. Getting all the paperwork done and license and registrations and provider info is all taking a lot longer than I had hoped for- but it will happen eventually.

Mckayla is doing well- busy as ever and noisey as ever too! She loves to just run around and always wants to play and dance. She continues to adore our dogs Hailey and Cindal. And she always notices if one of them is not in the room. She will actually now call for one of the dogs - she will yell "Hay eee" . So cute to hear her little voice ring out!! She also loves to be outside- whether its in the stroller on a walk, running around in the front yard or exploring the backyard with Mommy or Daddy and the dogs. she even asks o go outside now. She continues to be a picky eater and not eat much but she is very very healthy- just little.

We have started going on ore walks recently. Mckayla loves them and I am starting to find I really love it too. Our new (old) neighborhood is a great place. The neighboprs actually say hi to each other- as opposed to when I say high and 1/2 the people will ignore you and urn their back toward you and act like they didn't hear you. The people around here are so friendly- the other day we spoke to 6 neighbors on our short walk!! I am starting to re-experience what a neighborhood really is!! I just love it!!! We are so much happier in this neighborhood and so glad we moved!!

Anyway I better go to bed as its getting late. Goodnight friends!!!

Hello again!!

Hello again! I know its been awhile. But things have been so very busy. Mckaya is a very busy little girl, going through that stage where she is trying to challenge Mommy and Daddy a lot right now- but it really isn't that bad though. She has such a sweet personality and is always making us laugh too! She is saying more and more words. Her newest phrase is "Oh no!" and sh even uses it appropriately.

We are continuing to settle into our new (old) house but its taking time as we have not had much time to unpack boxes and as it is there is still a lot of my mum's stuff here that she has not gotten a chance to move out yet. we really like living here and are so glad we made the move. Mckayla has a new found love of playing outside. we never really played outside at our old house (I didn't feel very safe outside in the front yard with her and our backyard was just dirt. Here I feel much safer and we can play both in the backyard and the front yard. She LOVES it!! Our biggest challenge with Mckayla continues to be getting her to eat enough food and more variety. She is very healthy but is still quite small for her age. There is nothing wrong with her physically, but she sure is opinionated about food!

I will be starting work 5hrs a week in a couple weeks. I will be contracting my work to a clinic in North Scottsdale. I will be working on my mum's day off, so she can watch Mckayla. I feel much better about this than sending her to a daycare.

I just had surgery yesterday to have my gall-bladder removed. It was done laproscopically and was an out-patient surgery. I am doing well but just resting at home. I am actually feeling much better than I thought I would. Things are going smoothly.

Anyway thats about all our news right now. I hope everyone is doing well!!!
