Happy Anniversary to Us!

Officially - May 29 marked 3 years for us. We've been through alot in those 3 years. And if you think about it, exactly half the time (18mths) I've been pregnant. Chad reminds me often of how happy he is that it's over. I must have been moody or something I guess. =)
We spent a few days in Pigeon Forge, TN at this amazing bed and breakfast called Mountain Harbor Inn (check out www.mountainharborinn.com). We had a great time just to ourselves. Both sets of grandparents were kind enough to relieve us of the babies. This was the first stress-free, kid-free, enjoyable trip we've made in FOREVER. We went horseback riding, took a boat out on the lake and grilled steaks, went to Dollywood and Splash Country, and the hotel served us breakfast every morning and candlelit desert every night.
So now we're back home and getting back to the norm. Morgan is with her dad this week and Brady has been very sick. When she gets home and Brady is better we can't wait to take them to Splash Country. Our kids LOVE water!
Peyton is growing - we really noticed it when we got him home. And he smiles so much now! He is such a happy baby. Today we had a few ladies with Early Intervention Services come to the house to see him and set goals for him. We will have a teacher coming to interact with him biweekly. Also we're finally getting somewhere with his physical and occupational therapy. We now will be going to Wellmont Rehab in Kingsport. Appointment is pending but definitely will be next week. He still sees Dr. Madigan in Knoxville and gets another cast change next week; however, I have been working on getting this doctor at UVA to see him. He will be coming to Washington Co. Health Dept. this coming Tues. for a clinic he does just twice a year. I really want him to see Peyton because he specifically works with hip dysplasia in newborns. Pray hard because this clinic is full and the health dept. refused to sign him up for this one, but I called the doctor myself and begged his nurse so she is going to speak to him about Peyton this evening, gather his records, and call me back tomorrow evening. It may be that this doctor won't do anything YET with him being so small, but this sounds more promising than Dr. Madigan's treatment plan, at least until Shriner's gets underway. We still haven't heard anything. Of course it all still means more traveling . . . but we'll go to the ends of the earth if we have to! He is out of network too but we just don't have a choice if we want to find a doctor who will aggressively treat him.
On another note - we're making progress with the house. We only have the kitchen left to tile - both bathrooms are finished! Chad did a great job and it looks wonderful! We also got the front door replaced and it made a huge difference. We have someone coming to pour concrete for the walkway tomorrow. Once all that is behind us and a few little touch ups here and there, we'll have the house on the market! We are praying for enough equity to clear a decent down payment on the next house and lower our payment since I am not working. With everything we've done to this house over the last couple of years we should come out well.
