Hannah

No blog would be complete without an entry about Hannah. I would like to first say that I am so happy that I have her in my life. She definitely makes life interesting. She is so full of energy, spunk, stubbornness (is that even a word?) okay I think you know what I mean. So here are the full events of last week for Hannah....
Monday...stuck an eraser up her nose and Tim had to come home from work to take her to the doctor to have it removed. I have to admit I wasn't as afraid because she is, after all, taking after her mother. When I was little I stuck gum up mine and had to have it removed...one of my prouder moments.
Tuesday...she decided it would be a LOT of fun to paint herself toe to knees with Desitin (diaper rash cream) For those of you that don't know it is not the easiest thing to get off. UGH!
Wednesday morning she got sick in my bed...not something she could help but after Monday and Tuesday what else would you expect. :)

Thankfully the rest of the week for her calmed down. She is such a light of energy and so very stubborn. She does things in her own time and you can't push her to do more. I am so thankful for all the time I get to spend with her right now. So far this week we have only colored on the kitchen floor with crayon (magic eraser worked wonders on that)

Well off to bed so I can deal with Hannah and all her mischievous little ways.

Much love,
Katie

Man how time flies!

Okay so I am a horrible blogger...so much has happened this month I can't even think straight. Haleigh turned 6! Hannah has been trouble and I am pooped out with all the training I have been doing for this Susan G Komen 60 miles in 3 days. I have had several doc appointment follow ups and we have been to the Pumpkin Patch. Oh many where to start...

I guess I will start with Haleigh's Birthday. Haleigh turned 6 on the 7th and we had 15 little girls here at our house for a birthday party. She invited all the girls from her Kindergarten class and then had 3 of the neighbor girls spend the night. They had a BLAST! Haleigh said it was her best birthday. I am so happy she is was happy.

The next thing we did as a family is take the girls to the pumpkin patch. This October has been fabulous for weather. We decided this year to take the girls to a different pumpkin patch and they LOVED it! It was a blast, they got to feed the animals, take a hay ride, go through a corn maze, and walk through the pumpkin patch. Lots of fun and tons of great pictures. Here are just a few...

Well the girls are starting to get on each others nerves so I had better wrap this entry up...I promise I will post more soon!

Love always!

Haleigh's 6th Birthday

WOW! It has been a while since I posted anything. Thought I had better type quick so you all know what is going on in the crazy Mangan household. Yesterday, Haleigh, turned 6! It was a BIG day in the Mangan house. She was so excited about her birthday, but even more excited about tonight. She is having all the girls from her Kindergarten class over and a handful of other girls to help her celebrate. She is so excited to have them all over. We are VERY big into iCarly and so Tim has promised to make a webshow tonight with her and her friends. This could be interesting.

Hannah has been a little turd lately! I don't know how single parents do it...Hannah is now deciding that she doesn't need a nap. Little does she know she still does and so does her momma! She is a fiesty little girl. I love her to pieces but some days it is all I can handle.

I am still doing good...went in yesterday to see the plastic surgeon because I have been having some discomfort in my left implant. He thinks I may have pulled a muscle in it. I am to take it easy and relax. Easier said than done. I have a birthday party tonight, 17 miles to walk tomorrow followed by 13 miles on Sunday. I am just tired thinking about all of it. I know everyone is thinking...you need to slow down...well I can slow down when I am dead. Right now there is work to be done and things to take care of. Next week I will find out how my ECHO went. Back in August my ejection fraction was 40% it is so low because of the chemo drugs and the Herceptin. I have been told several times that my heart will start to rebound on its own. So I am very anxious to see the results. I have been so blessed by everything so far so I am just praying that my blessings continue.

Well I have cookies to frost and laundry to fold...unfortunately it isn't going to do itself. If only I had a magic wand!
