A popcorn kernel up where?



Good old Melany was eating popcorn and decided it would be a good idea to put a popcorn kernel up her nose! Really? Well at the time we were freaking out because we couldn't get it out and her nostril started bleeding a little. What a way to explore the city! We rushed to the ER because she couldn't be seen at the urgent care. The hospital was nearby, but waited about an hour and a half to get a procedure done that lasted less than 1 minute!It was a little invasive, but caused not much pain to Melany.
     Poor baby! She sure loved to explore and is very active. She loves to bolt, and run as if she were in a race. She doesn't stop! She loves Dora the Explorer, Minnie Mouse and drawing with a pen. She is very bright and continues to enjoy to be read at. She knows the tunes to several church songs, and is very good at praying with us before we eat.
I have to admit though, I will never see a popcorn kernel the same way. We love you Melany, thank you for making life for us a treat, never dull and always interesting!

New job= goal checked off

I am happy to say that one of my goals for this year occurred way sooner than I thought. I got a job as a medical social worker in San Antonio. I will be working in the home health arena and in hospice at times. I am excited to learn about this new field, since I will be working with other medical professionals like nurses, doctors, and other therapists. This job required me to start this last Monday 2/4, so I had one week to look for a place to live. It was not an easy task but luckily found a beautiful place. Now to work on my next goal: searching for the right house to purchase. How fun, right?

Too funny!
