Stuck here....still.

I am still sitting in the same spot since last Friday due to my foot surgery. The Dr. doesn't tell you how miserable and painful it will be to recover from the surgery. Add in the 2 kiddos to take care of while you are trying to recover yourself and you have the makings of a wonderfully long and painful day. This the picture of the "boot" and it still doesn't give justice to the actual size it really is. Supposedly I am able to drive as early as today if I want to, although I don't think I am going to attempt even getting in the car at this point much less trying to move this big ole foot from the gas to the break pedal.

I think Devin has had the best experience since he has been watching cartoons on the couch all day today since everyone else went back to work for the week. Between junk food, toy commercials (of course he wants them all and if it is a girl toy then it is for him AND Mackenzie) he is living the high life in his eyes. I, on the other hand, am going crazy and just want to get out of the house.

I appreciate all the tips on blogging and keep them coming since I obviously have a lot to learn.

A day of Firsts

OK, so I am new to "blogging" and don't know all of the ins and outs but I thought I would give it a try. So here it goes, my first blog entry. I admit that I have been kicking the idea around a while now and finally did it.
Another big first today was Mackenzie's first "meal". Devin actually attempted the first spoon full of rice cereal although most fell off of the spoon before making it to Mackenzie's mouth.

After several attempts from big brother Mimi and mommy took over and Mackenzie loved it.

Mackenzie also rolled over today for the first time! What a milestone. She is almost 5 months old and it is going by so fast. She has been trying to roll over for some time now and finally did it!

Today was a great day with all of the 1st memories and I am looking forward to many more and sharing them here on my blog.

On the other hand, I had surgery to remove a bunion on Friday and am having to keep my foot elevated for 2 days which is a pretty difficult chore for me since I am always on the go. I don't remember the last time I had this much rest since I am forced to sit in one place and not be mobile.

Papa and Grammy came by today to visit also. Mackenzie sat in Papa's lap the entire time so content.

At the end of the day when we were winding down Devin was sitting by me and said, "Mommy, I don't want to grow up. I want to be your little boy forever". That just melted my heart. I wish I could have recorded it to play over and over. They sure know how to get to you don't they.
