The flood, Cooper's Bday, Addy's Eye Doct



These are the things that were in our storage room. They are now taking over my whole basement on the parts that aren't wet!
This is the lovely drain that let in all of the disgusting YUCK!
This is how the majority of the boxes looked from this room. Unfortunately some of my favorite SnowBaby dolls were in this box, as you can see by the water stains, they are pretty much destroyed.


Well everyone we are flooded! YUCK! Our basement storage room filled with the lovely stench of sewer and ruined tons of stuff in it. It has not been pleasant at all. Now we are waiting for the insurance adjuster to come and take pictures and such and then spend quality time writing down everything that was ruined! UGH!




I took some pix of Lake Springfield yesterday and they're pretty impressive, usually there is a long island type fishing place where people fish all of the time and now it's all underwater. We went to Springfield yesterday to celebrate Cooper's 9th birthday! We went out to CiCi's Pizza per Coop's request and then went and saw Horton Hears a Who. It was really cute! It was nice to get out of our stinky sewer smelling house for awhile!
Today I took Addy to the eye specialist and at first glance he thought that she was going to need glasses but after dilation and a closer inspection he thinks we can hold off! Yeah! He laughed and said he was glad we didn't need glasses because her nose and ears are so small it was going to be a miraculous feat to keep them on her tiny little face! We go back in 6 months and we just have to watch the crossing for now.

Earlier this week I got to meet with the Social Worker that is handing our Adoption Subsidy and I found out such great things! I'm not going to go into detail but so many benefits are coming to us and we feel so thankful and blessed! I just thought she would keep her supplemental Medicaid and have some adoption fees waived! I never imagined that we would have even more benefits!
This picture cracks me, she just got too tired to hold herself up anymore!
