We are having a fun summer...

This last week my sister and I took Lanie and Hannah to Grants Farm  Neither of us had been in many years and this was the first time for Lanie. 

We had to stand in line for an hour before even getting into the place! 

 This is Nonnie, Hannah and Lanie at the start of the day.  All happy and smiles and Lanie was being so good!


Lanie and Hannah got to feed the goats.  This is Lanie petting the Goat after she fed it.  She was trying so hard to let all the goats have a drink out of the bottle she had but it just would not go very far!

Lanie eating fried chicken.  She just could not sit down even for lunch.

We are going to do another trip but it will probably be in October so we can do Halloween there. 

I have some exciting news.  I have finally been able to get my insurance company to approve my Gastric Bypass Surgery.  I am going in on Wednesday to talk with the surgeon, get my pre op testing done, talk with the dieticians and all that good stuff.  I am shooting for a surgery date of 8/27/2014, just a few weeks down the road.  I am not sure how much of that process I will post, I am still not sure how I feel about it.  On one hand I think of the surgery as a failure for me because I was not able to do it on my own.  But on the other hand, at least I am moving forward and doing what I need to do to assure that I am healthy and at least around for Lanie as she grows up. 

Certainly if you have any questions about it or even comments, please feel free to post or ask.  However, I am going to ask for only positive comments.  I already have enough negative going through my head. 

Anyway, I am looking forward to changing my life...for the better!!
