=6 months later=

Wow, it really has been a LONG time since my last post. I'm not sure what got into me. I really didn't have much of a desire to write. But that's all changing now...I hope. :) No guarantees though, but I will try my best to keep up. At least more current than every six months. Haha! So, there hasn't been too much going on with the Carey's since my last post...yet it seems like everything has happened. Lets start where I left off....Hailey and her glasses....

Well, her eye is still crossing, so before we try surgery, we are trying a stronger prescription to see if that trains her eye to see without crossing. It's been about 2 weeks since we started the new prescription, and I haven't seen any changes...except that her other eye is start to cross. Uh oh...she has an appointment on Wednesday to get it checked out. Cross your fingers....

Hailey started Preschool the first of October. She is currently going to Kiddieland, the preschool that our church has. She loves it. Ever since she started going, we've noticed a huge change in her temper and listening skills. Not to mention her writing and recognizing skills. In one month, she recognizes pretty much all the letters and can even write her name. She's so amazing! We noticed she listens better, doesn't throw tantrums hardly at all and no longer bites her nails since she starting going there. It's one of the best decisions we could have made. Not to mention, it's only $65 more a month than her in home daycare was...not too shabby!



Michael has been off of work on L&I for a few months now. He hurt his elbow stocking his propane bottles. L&I isn't paying us much either...and we are definitely feeling it. The past few months have been really hard financially...but in the end, God always provides. I just have to trust that He will. It's tough for someone who always wants to do things on her own to put full trust in God....very tough. But I will...prayers are needed.

The first of October I got a promotion....so that extra money has helped out. It was a raise of $3.01 more an hour, and that couldn't have come at a better time. It has helped us make our money last at least one month longer. Yay! Anywho, I am no longer the Title Specialist at TwinStar Credit Union. I am now the Operations Product Developer. Sounds pretty spectacular huh? Well, to put it in simple terms...I'm a project manager. :) So far, it's fun and it has definitely tested my abilites and problem solving skills. I'm still learning and everyone is being very patient with me, thank goodness! :)

I'm going to end on a super funny note. I want you all to know that I live with one of the funniest kids on the block. She has been cracking us up lately. Her personality is hilarious and the things the come out of her mouth are super cute! Here are just a few things she said lately:

Hailey: Mommy...I-I-I-I want some ass-cream!
Mom: Hailey....it's ice cream.....

Hailey saying Blessing before dinner, they say this before every meal at preschool: God our Father, God our Father, we thank You, we thank You, for our many blessings, for our many blessings, ottoman, ottoman (sometimes it is ahman, ahman)

Last but not least...Thanksgiving Turkey at pre-school...all the kids are asked what they are thankful for...Hailey's response was: Chicken Nuggets and Minnie Mouse.

I love my kid!
