Loraly said a prayer...

We were leaving Whataburger tonight when Loraly noticed a few kids hanging around a parked car. One was sitting on the hood and the others were standing around. She said "Mommy, God is not very happy with those boys sitting on the car. That is very rude. But it's ok, because God will forgive them." I was a happy Mommy with her comment and her response to her own comment. We moved on towards our vehicle. I get her in, start buckling her seat belt, and she starts with another comment..."Mommy, God told me in my prayer that he was going to give you a wish!" Ok, what could this mean... "He said he was going to put another baby in your tummy, and it will be a BOY baby."

Let me just tell you that if she were, for some crazy reason right, God and I would have some serious different plans right now!

(not that I would not be thrilled to death, a little scared, and a lot surprised, but happy)

Maybe just maybe she misunderstood him, and what he really meant was that he found a wonderful job for my husband...

Going crazy!

While browsing around Toys R Us last night, Madalyn advised Mark and I that we needed to buy "What to Expect the Toddler Years."

I guess she thinks we need help.

So we have figured out that Mark has had at least 2 interviews a week since we got home from Disney. Out of all the interviews, we have only received 3 negatives back from the companies. And one was from a friend that works there. We don't understand why the companies aren't calling back to give positive or negative feedback. We would like to hear SOMETHING just so we aren't wondering.
Mark has, once again, 2 more interviews this coming week.
He needs to get a job SOON because he is getting a little insane with his job choices. He is getting so desperate that he is even looking into contract jobs abroad!!! NO THANKS! I know the money is AWESOME but just the idea! Neither of us have ever been out of the United States, but he wants to move there! Are you kidding me?!
Anyway, so like I said he is getting a little stir crazy and needs to get something soon.

(just venting...)

Sophie and I had a photo shoot today!

I numbered the pictures. If you just scroll over the picture with your mouse, the number will show up.
Let me know what ones you like!

Ears, Ears, and more Ears

Lets just say that I am soooo tired of ear problems! I love my girls ears, but I would trade them in for another pair each anyday!

So the dreaded ENT appointment has now come and gone!

Both girls are almost completely deaf in their left ears. Let me just tell you that the hearing tests they performed on my girls WERE AWESOME!

Loraly has a little fluid behind her left ear drum, so antibiotics are called in to help clear that up. 3 weeks and we will try another hearing test to see if anything has changed. If not then she will probably get a tube put in that ear. But the hearing issue is from a year of constant ear infections. Dr. didn't say anything about that except that we would see when we come back.

Sophie is getting a full set of tubes. I will let you know when surgery will be. I have to call back tomorrow to schedule. She was quite fussy after a long day of MDO, hearing tests, seeing the dr., and lots of waiting. He just thinks that her hearing is obviously from the last almost 10 months of having constant ear infections. She is hearing ok, so no need for anything further right now.

Keep the prayers going for better hearing, and a smooth sailing surgery.

More Interviewing

Mark has had more interviews during this time...

He has 2 more this week. One here in the town we currently live in (which is good), and one in a little town around 45 minutes away. Hopefully we start hearing some news from all these interviews, whether it be good or bad. It is just hard waiting and wondering...

Waiting Game continues

Mark said the second job interview was not fun. They gave him actual work he would be doing, asked him to write up a document, proposal, etc. to show them what kind of work he does---stressful! So the waiting game continues on this certain job.

On the other job, we received a phone call and they gave the job to an internal applicant. But they do have Mark in for a few other jobs there. So maybe just maybe one will turn up!

We are still waiting, the stress level gets higher with each denial.

Keep praying...especially for us to be able to stay positive for our children.

On another hand: on the way home from church tonight, Loraly said a prayer. She prayed that she was thankful God made her a princess, and that he gave her eyes, and for making everything so beautiful! Madalyn wouldn't tell us what she prayed for, but when I got home I realized what she was praying for: hamsters, puppies, and kitties to be at home ready to surprise her! Needless to say-that one is NOT going to happen!

Don't want to Jinx myself but...

Mark has a call back interview this week from one of the companies that interviewed him last week!

Please wish us lots of luck, and say lots of prayers!
