this is our garden right before we planted anything in it. I cant wait for fresh peas, carrots, corn, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, cucumbers ETC !!!! 
This is our garden when we first got here except therewas a huge bush along the left side that brock ripped out all by himself (thanks honey)

Here is grace Easter sunday.. she had a great time-- i had to work so brock did such a great job getting her ready and taking her to church
Sometimes she gets really hungry and starts eating her fingers
a family picture
Addi & Grace -- I learned how to make owl hats and i made a rabbit one--i think grace knows she looks a little ridiculous in them but she will wear them for me anyway.
Our sweet baby girl is growing up so quick !! I can hardly believe she will be 4 months old next week. She has got such a great personality and she is so sweet to me. when i have to work and watch grace the next day she will just play by me as a i take naps or snuggle with me and take one with me. She is smiling so much and starting to giggle, her giggles are random but they are the sweetest sound to my ears.

Last of all
a quick update on my problems. I have a new GI doctor who i think is so so so great!! and i now have a vascular doc who i meet next week. and of course my favorite & hero Dr. Mark Stevens. I had a CT scan that i previously mentioned and I also had a colonoscopy. the colonoscopy turned out to be all clean and clear and great. but the CT scan showed that my superior mesenteric vein has --in short explaination---some scar tissue and is constricted in one area and has limited blood flow going through it. collateral bloodflow is forming--blood flow that goes around this area. SO like everything i have heard before "we have seen things similar to this before just not this exactly. " so i am kind of a science experiement. they said that they think that the "scar tissue" was formed when my bowel twisted. some of my issues that i have finally taken notice of --- I have stomach aches immediatly after i eat. that feel like gas pain&cramping. lots of issues as far as stools go. --- I am so much more confident in my doctors this go around. I feel like Dr Frech(GI) has really done his job and consulted with those that he needed to and kept me in the loop etc. There are days when i get frustrated and get upset, but I am so greatful to those around me that have supported me and kept me going. I know that everyone struggles with different things. I feel like i have been blessed to have this trial, that i can learn and recover from. and i hope that i can endure it well.
