When will I learn...

When will I learn that when I exercise I feel better? I have been religious about my exercise since January. I have tried to either get to my kick box class, run on the treadmill, or do my new Shred video. This past week I have fallen off the exercise wagon and I have felt horrible. I have been soooooo tired, eating whatever I want and been very cranky.
This morning I had enough and I was up at 5:30 for my exercise. Guess what? I feel great!!!!!!!! I'm sure one day I will learn, but I won't hold my breath for that day.

Date Night X 2

Can it be true? Did Mr. McNally and I really just get away for two whole nights? Maybe I just dreamt it. Nope, we did get away for two nights.
We left at 8:00 Friday night and did not return to our home till 12:00 Sunday afternoon.
We had a wonderful time just talking, eating, watching movies, shopping, and holding hands the entire weekend. It is so nice to hold hands and not have to worry about a stroller or one crazy four year old getting hit by a car.
After five years it was due time for us to step away from our beautiful kids and have some alone time. I love my husband so much and it was so nice to have all of his attention for an entire weekend.

Orange Belt




Little Morgan got her orange belt at karate today. I am so proud of her. She loves going to class and she has gotten really good. Yes, she did get a haircut. Can she be any cuter?

Happy One Year Birthday




We celebrated Logan's Birthday this weekend since on his real birthday we spent the day in the car. The kids wanted to give him a balloon party. I wasn't sure what they had in mind, but I think I fulfilled their wishes for our little man. I can't believe my miracle baby is one. This little man has taught me more about myself in the last year than I had learned the 32 years before him. Happy Birthday big boy.

12 month doc visits

Yesterday was a day filled with the kidney and liver doctors. According to the doctors Logan continues to improve and his organs continue to heal. The kidney doc told us that he can for a fact tell us that for the next 10 years his kidneys will function well and he's pretty sure for the next 20 years they will be fine. He wasn't able at this point to tell us past 20 years. I'll take that, let's be honest none of us know what is going to happen to our bodies in the next 20 years.

The liver doc told us that he is only watching one little lab number called the AFP. Basically the AFP shows if there are cancerous cells in the liver when Logan was born his numbers his numbers climbed into the 10,000. The normal number is 0-6. At this time they are at an 11. He is very pleased with this. The only reason he continues to watch it is because of all of the damage done to the liver it forms scar tissue and this tissue can have cancerous cells in it. He of course told us because of worst case scenario.

All in all I couldn't of asked for better visits. The doctors don't want to see us for a year.
Logan continues to be a reminder to me of God's grace. The Lord has spared us so much. Thank you Lord for this wonderful blessing in just a little 20 pound body. I never want to forget the Lord's goodness to our family.
Once I get our computer fixed I will post pictures of Logan on his one year birthday.

Happy 12 months

Tomorrow is the day that I want to forget but yet I never want to forget. My little man turns one. We are going to celebrate by jumping in the car and driving to Portland. Not really my idea of how to celebrate my babys birthday, but it seems fitting. Logan has his doctors appointment on Monday to see how the progress of his liver and kidneys are doing. Please pray for our family to have safe travels and for Logan's appointments to go well.
I promise to a much better birthday post when I return.

Catch up

I have so much catch up to do on my blog, but not enough time to do it. Just a few things. We had a wonderful Christmas in New Mexico and a Happy New Years. We are home now and I have a house to clean and tons of laundry to do.
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday time.
