FRUIT LOOP KIND OF DAY

Today has started GREAT!! Maya got up with no problems today. It was a fruit loop morning for us both. We had to chase Judah around the house to take him out to potty. He thinks it all about playing!! Still no belt any where to be found. I searched this house yesterday. She didn't get in trouble yesterday. However, today she worr a cute pair of capris that didn't have belt loops. She wore a green shirt today for the first time. She looked adorable......sorry but I am just a bit partial...LOL!!! She is beautiful inside and out!! God couldn't have given me a more perfect child. Not saying she is perfect but she is a very good little girl with a huge heart for people.

That's all for now...........

THE BELT.....

This morning was very interesting in the Toomey home. We are still getting accustomed to this same clothes everyday thing......AKA school uniforms. Well, last week was free dress so no belt. Well, we got up this morning and guess what......couldn't find belt any where!!! So she went to school out of uniform...no belt. So far no phone call about it.

WOW....I can't believe how long it has been sinced I blogged. I really miss it. I went back and read my entire blog from day 1 to homecoming. Yes, I was in tears. All of that seems so long ago. It seems that Maya has been in my life forever. She fits so well. She is doing great in school. We have moved to Alabama and she is starting her second week at a new school. She loves it. It is the school I went to....so she thinks that is neat. I am in awe at what a beautiful little girl she has became....inside and out. She is very passionate about everything. She is very strong willed and knows what she wants. That has been a little issue but we are doing well with it. She is growing up too fast. She is now 40lbs, not sure of height but I know she has gotten tall over the past few months. She loves to play with dolls, go mud riding on the 4-wheeler. Guess that is all for now. I am going to try and do a daily post on her along with facebook.

Catching UP!!!!

Well.....it has been way too long since an update. We have been very busy with life. Maya is growing up too fast. How can I freeze time? We are on vacation right now. We got to spend time with the Mckenzie Crew yesterday and Megan Walker. It was great to meet all of them.. I am starting a new journey in the job world. The job I am at now is horrible and is causing me so much stress. I really hate 2 faced back stabbers and that is exactly what I work with now. So, I am moving on the better things. We have a trip planned in August to PA. This will our first time in this state. I am very excited to meet Laurie and her family.

Maya has just finished K3. She learned so much and made so many friends. She will be attending summer camp until August then starting K4. She now weighs 35lbs and is 38 inches tall. She has really grown over the past six months. Still dealing with the peanut allergy. Instead of getting better I think it is getting worse. She can't even be around kids that have eaten peanut products without choking up. Poor baby. she is getting sooooo very sassy!! Her favorite word is "sure"!! Favorite food is tomatoes......we are growing our own this year. Favorite toy is barbies, sandbox and dress up stuff. I love watching her play and try new things. She is learning to swim this summer also. She is like a fish, loves the water and she isn't scared of it at all. She also loves to ride her bike and play at the playground.

That's all for now.......Can't get pics to download.

THE GRACE OF GOD!!!

Me and Maya were in a horrible car accident last Saturday. It was by the Grace of God that we were both able to walk away with only minor injuries. Maya only had a small scratch on the right side of her neck. She has been having some nightmares but those are getting better. For the first couple of days after the accident she screamed when I put her in the car. That is better also. Thank God!!!! We were turning left when a small car top the hill going way too fast to stop. They hit us on the passengers side going about 80 mph. It split the entire side of my SUV and flipped us. We landed upside down. Not sure how but I managed to get myself out then I was getting Maya out when someone got there to help. At first Maya wasn't talking at all. Poor little thing was in shock. I am just so thankful that she was not hurt. I have been trying to scan the pictures but the scanner is not cooperating right now. I will try again later. You have to see the pictures to know that we are 2 walking miracles.

I did get a new car Friday. We got a black Dodge Charger. Maya got a new pink car seat. We were both very excited about our new purchases.

SAD NEWS!!!

GABRIELLA HOPE WAS BORN 1/5/2009 AT 2:08 am. SHE WAS JUST TOO TINY TO SURVIVE. SHE DIED AT 3:42 am. SHE WEIGHED 1 LB AND 9OZ AND WAS 11 INCHES LONG. I WILL POST MORE ABOUT THIS AND MY FEELINGS AS I CAN.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I HOPE THIS YEAR BRINGS A LOT OF JOY TO EVERYONE.

I KNOW EVERYONE IS DYING TO HEAR MORE ABOUT MY NEWS. SO, HERE IS A BIT MORE. I WILL BE ADOPTING MAYA'S BIO SISTER. SHE IS DUE 2/18/2009. WE HAVE PULLED A LOT OF STRINGS. I AM JUST PRAYING THAT THINGS GO SMOOTH THIS TIME. I WILL GET TO NAME HER AT BIRTH. SHE WILL BE GABRIELLA HOPE. WE WILL CALL HER GABBY. EVERYTHING IS DONE, WE ARE JUST WAITING ON HER TO BE BORN AND GUATEMALA TO REOPEN. I AM TRYING NOT TO GET EXCITED!!!

CHRISTMAS IN A NUTSHELL!!!

These are some pictures that I had made when we went to visit Ellie in California. Yep, I am just getting them back. I know some people are slow. Anyway the pictures turned out really good. However, I couldn't get them to turn the right way.

Christmas was GREAT this year. Maya was so excited. She was a bit upset Christmas morning when Santa wasn't there. She go over that really quick. She got a tricycle, princess table and chair, princess backpack, doll house, and a crayon doll that teaches colors in english and spanish. From other family members she got a desk, Elmo live (I love him), more dolls with all the accessories. I really don't even remember what she got. It was way too much. We have been very busy all weekend. I am trying to get over the flu. Not easy when you can't rest. I will have to go back to work to get some rest. However, I wouldn't change a minute of it. Maya was so much fun this year. I have tons of pictures from the weekend. I have to sort them and download.

Maya also has some big news. Our family of 2 will very soon be a family of 3. That is all I can say at this point. I am trying not to get excited but that is hard. I have known about this for about a month. I have been dying to tell but I just told my family. I will give more details as I can.

EDITED TO ADD: CONCERNING THE BIG NEWS, I AM NOT GETTING MARRIED, THERE IS ANOTHER BABY IN THE MAKING AND NO I AM NOT PREGNANT.



I hope everyone had a very Happy and Blessed Christmas!!!
