The Foley's In March

About a month ago, we got to go down to Orange Beach and let the kids swim. Ivee can't get in the water without something to cover her mikey-button, so we are limited on how often we can let her get in the tub, which she loves to do. She DID NOT want to get in the pool at first. BUT, once she was in...she didn't want to get out!
Last week, it was so nice outside, that I took our munchkin outside to sit. She is just getting so big!
This past Saturday, I took the s with me to the "Saddle up for St. Jude" fundraiser in Robertsdale. Ivee couldn't get enough of the "bunnies" in the petting zoo area. She held every one at least three times. Then she would kiss on them. Thank goodness for allergy medicine!

Brittney got to drive a mule and then she took Ivee for a ride on it. It is a good thing we skipped the Hayride. Once they came back from the trail and started laying the hay around, her eyes began to swell and started running immediately! She still had fun though.


Lastly, we waited for the riders to come back from the trail. It is a site to see 400 horses coming over the hill. What a blessing to have so many people involved in raising funds for St. Jude.
This picture I took as soon as you could see the horses/riders coming over.

Here they are really starting to come in.



And finally, Saturday, Ivee waited til I wasn't watching. She saw me take my dark chocolate stash out a few days ago, and made a mental note I suppose. She snuck in and had to really work at it to reach, but managed to get to it. I only found her once I heard her ripping the paper. TOO LATE. I just let her finish her piece. She is such the chocolate lover!!! Vanilla pudding is a no-no. It must be chocolate!!!!

We have met with the school system, and are awaiting the options we have to put her in the 3 year old program to help with her therapies. Early Childhood Development only goes to 2 years of age and then the school system takes over. I don't know how I feel about putting my baby in school, but I want what is best for her development. I feel like she is SOOOO close to walking. I still have to explore the options for feeding though. They will not deal with this area.

So, all is well for now, and we won't return to Memphis until the end of June. I'll update when we do anything interesting. God bless, and keep praying!!!
