THE DATE

A few weeks ago Ryan decided it was time for him and Morgan to go out on a date. Months ago P.L. (pre-Logan), Monday was there date day. It was a Monday and he told Morgan in the morning that they were going to go to lunch and a movie. With excitement in her eyes she ran upstairs to her room to get ready. I was a little nervous to see what she would come down in. She had put on her favorite dress, tights, and black patten leather shoes. She called down for me to come up and see her. When I got upstairs she said, "mom would you mind putting some makeup on me for my date." My heart melted. We spent time her and I apply the perfect amount of makeup for her beautiful face (which of course only really consisted of some lip gloss). After she felt she was dolled up enough she ran down to meet her daddy for her date. Arm in arm they went to the car to begin the perfect adventure.

My Boys

There are very few things in life that make me happier than this picture. For many reasons this picture makes me smile. Just seeing two out of my three favorite boys hanging out watching t.v.

Happy 3 months and Happy Liver

Well today is my little man's three month birthday. What a big boy he is now. He smiles all the time. Last night Morgan had him laughing so hard it was so cute.

His weight was 13.13. His length was 24 1/2 inches. Praise the Lord!!!!!

Today was our liver doc visit. It went really well. Everything continues to improve. He said there are still things that could occur, but he doesn't want us to worry now and to just keep looking forward. Like the Kidney doc he doesn't need to see Logan for three months. So there it is.

I don't ever want to forget how far we have come. God has been so good to us. He has held Logan in his hands and continues to heal his little body. What a blessing Logan has been to our family.

I tried to get a three month picture of Logan by himself, but his big brother just couldn't help himself.

The Kidney's

First of all thank you so much for all of your suggestions on the car seat sleeping. Logan and I have come to a peace that for now the car seat it is. At this point in life after all he has gone through I would give him anything he wants.
Yesterday was the kidney day:
Bad News: They are still only function at about 50%.
GOOD NEWS:
1. They should continue to get better.
2. He was taken off of his kidney medications, which means no more bottles!!!!!!!!!! The other medications he can take without a bottle.
3. He does not want to see him till he is 6 months. Then he thinks he will be able to be seen every six months from there on out.
4. I will be in Salem in three months, then every six months.

Number four of the good news is the most exciting to me!!!!!!!!So, all in all the kidneys are doing well. Wednesday is the liver day. Stay tuned.

Sleeping

I have to write this down because I am now a mommy of three and officially all of the brain cells are gone. I'm not completely sure how it started, but I think it started the first week we brought Logan home. Logan is truly the perfect baby, except from around 7-10 p.m. That is his really fussy time. Ryan decided since it is our third child he would take to driving him around at night in the car. I secretly think Ryan liked getting out of the house and having some quite time in the car. Anyway, when he would bring Logan home he would be sound asleep and we would just let him be. This sleeping time would occur in his car seat. Because of this he loves his car seat. He now at the old age of almost three months has stopped that fussy time, but he still sleeps in his car seat. The last three days he has slept for eight hours right beside my bed in his car seat. Laugh all you want, but it worked. Now here comes the problem, he is getting to be very big and I thought maybe we would should move him to a regular bed. Mind you this bed is still in my room, because he will probably be in my room with me till he's 30. Last night was our first night of trying this out. Needless to say it was a bomb. He slept for three hours then decided he needed to just stay in our bed for the night. Oh well, it was worth a try and I will just try again tonight.

The journey continues

How do you write about something you don't want to write about, but know you need to? I have been going over and over in my head the last few days on how I would write this on my blog. So it is through many tears as I sit here at my computer I will write.
God has called our family onto another journey in life. A few months ago when we were going through our birth of dear Logan and the trauma that brought, Ryan was approached by his company for a promotion. With the promotion came a move back to CA. At the time Ryan said thank you so much, but no thank you we have enough on our plates. Well, over the last few months they have continued to put the pressure on him and pursue him even more. They have offered him several different positions and we have continued to pray about it. Well last week they made the offer to good for our family to pass up. We dedicided to accept a position in Reno, Nevada. It is with bitter sweetness we accepted it. We love Salem. I have made some friends that I never thought you could have. My friendships have been so deep here that I know that they will last forever. Our love for CourtStreet Christian Church will never end. It will continue to be in our prayers as it grows.
As my best friend in the whole world said to me yesterday this is just another part of our testimony. Leslie was right, this is just another part of the McNally testimony. We will leave Salem with a very sad heart, but we know that we are needed in Reno, NV. God has a wonderful plan for our family there. I'm very excited to see what God is going to do in our families lives as we begin this new journey.
