The “Almost” Smile…, originally uploaded by Full Circle Digital.

Well, our little Elyana is now 6 months old! I know, we can’t believe it either! She’s teething, sitting up, rolling over, trucking all over the place in her walker, saying ma ma ma ma, which I like to think is “Mama”, but I’m pretty sure it’s a just a noise she likes to hear.

I had my pesky gall bladder removed last Wednesday. I’m glad I did, too, because I had to endure a few very painful attacks. The surgery went smoothly and I’ve been home all week recovering. It’s been nice to get to be home with Elyana and I’m afraid I’m going to return to work kicking and screaming on Monday.

Here’s some fun news for ya: About a month ago, Collin and I noticed that our shower has been leaking. Kind of annoying, but we wanted to save up some money to have the 3 shower nozzels (hot, cold and shower/tub) turned into 1, which would make it much easier for Collin. Then, last week, we noticed that the little leak might be much worse since our baseboard looked all water-logged. I called our HOA who sent out a plumber who said it was leak, but doesn’t look too bad, he would send someone else out to look at the water damage to give us an estimate. That guy came out today and guess what? WE HAVE MOLD IN OUR WALLS FROM THIS STUPID LEAK!!!! If you know us, and I’m assuming that you do, since you’re reading this, mold is nothing new to us. We’re old pro’s when it comes to mold. Except that now, we have a daughter and the moldy wall is attached to her room. Not exactly what mommy wants to hear, right? Now I’m envisioning a child that will grow up to look like Chunk from The Goonies. Yes, my thoughts do go there that quickly.

So, that’s our latest saga. I’ve been in contact with our homeowners insurance who is going to send out an appraiser and we’ll move forward from there. We’re hoping and praying that the majority of the cost will be covered by our insurance and that the damage isn’t too horrible.

I do apologize for not blogging in so long. I have lots of excuses, but I won’t bore you with any of them. I should be fired from my job as a blogger, except that I don’t get paid for it, so there!

PS. Please go to the Orange County Fair and look for Collin’s picture of Elyana and Me. He won 2nd Place!!! I’m so incredibly proud of him!
