Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a happy January 1st 2009!

I have not posted since May (I think) Facebook has taken me away from Pleo :-(
I have been reading and enjoying all of your blogs! I'll try to be better this year about commenting on them.

This is a busy month for me! We have three birthday's to celebrate this monnth. My birthday, Lydia's Birthday on the 19th, she is turning three! Wow I can't believe that, where has the time gone? And Ken turns 40 on the 20th (Yes I can't believe that either)
That's all for now I promise to post again soon!

    If most the birthdays have to come all in the same month, it's good it's January, I guess :)

    Wow, crazy January! Chris and Caleb both have January birthdays too. I can't believe Lydia will be 3! Have a happy new year!

Time for a new entry

Since I have not posted for a long time I have a lot to talk about. I have been reading everyone's post's even though I have not commented on many of them.

Ken and I have both setup accounts on Facebook since looking at some of the Flair buttons some of you posted on Pleo. Ken's sister and brother-in-law both have Facebook accounts so that will be another way for us to keep in contact with them since we don't seem the very often.

I'm STILL having pain in what we have now determined is my shoulder after another MRI we found out I have Tendonitis. I have had two cortisone shots with just a little bit of pain relif. The Dr.'s have ruled out so many things that I don't have I have decided to go a more natural route and now after much research I'm taking a lot of vitamins and will go to my first Acupuncture appt. on Thursday (wish me luck!)

Addie finished up Soccer a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed watching her play. As of now Addie has no plans to sign up for soccer again.
The count down to the girls Ballet Recital begins. Each week I get to go and watch them practice I'm really enjoying this too. Addie won a coloring contest today at Ballet. She got a "Ballet Box" this includes all kinds of fun pink ballet stuff. Addie's picture will also be framed and displayed at the Recital.

We are counting the days until school is out for both Ken and Addie. I think we are all ready for a little time away from school! Hope you all have a great week.
  • DessertDiva
    Yay - you updated! I'm sorry about your shoulder! I hope the Acupuncture works! I hear it's amazing for other things.

    How cute - it would be so fun to watch the girls do ballet :)

  • luvbnamom
    It's Tiffani - yay! I haven't gotten much of a chance to talk to you lately. I hope the acupuncture works - worth a try anyway, right?! Any big plans for the summer? I would LOVE having my husband home like that! :)
    by luvbnamom at 05/12/08 6:07PM
  • stylinmama
    You'll have to find me on Facebook! :) I hear acupuncture is a great thing! Good luck! Way to go Addie on the coloring contest!

    I hope and will pray that the acupuncture works and you get some relief.

    Tiffani, I have had great sucess with acupunture. In fact, that is my choice of treatment over PT and Surgery. It really does have a remarkable effect if you give it a good chance. I had a HUGE fall down some stairs several years ago. Despite pain pills and traditional therapy, nothing was relieveing the pain and muscle cramping. I went to an accupuncurist(sp) and once he set the pins in, I could feel the muscles MELTING literally out of their knots. I would encourage you to give it a healthy chance. I hope that you have the success that I have.

  • lifeisgoood
    Here's hoping this will be the answer to your pain. I'd like to do the pin facebook pin idea too, just to post on pleonast- it looks fun!
    by lifeisgoood at 05/12/08 11:02PM
  • robynbobm
    Hope the acupuncture helps! I think I will stick with chiropractic, though, since I am not fond of needles.
    by robynbobm at 05/13/08 3:49PM
  • beavermom
    Smart lady! I hope it relieves your pain- I have seen friends have great success with acupuncture! Thanks for updating! But you forgot pictures!;)
    by beavermom at 05/13/08 8:47PM
  • mom247365
    Interesting. You'll have to let us know how successful it is! I'm thinking that the girls are absolutely darling in ballet!
    by mom247365 at 05/14/08 12:46AM
  • luvbnamom
    So Tiffani, what's new? I'm assuming Ken is nearly done with school, what are your summer plans? Any recital pictures you can post? :)
    by luvbnamom at 06/12/08 5:03PM
  • stylinmama
    Yeah! I would LOVE to see your girls in their ballerina outfits! :)
    by stylinmama at 06/12/08 5:28PM
  • robynbobm
    How is the tendonitis treatment going? Hope the acupuncture is helping. Are there any herbal remedies that work for the pain?

    Hi Tiffani! I hope things are going well!!
    by missyb at 07/15/08 11:49AM
  • robynbobm
    :) Thanks. Actually, they had a sale on the Clif bars (all kinds) so I got builders bars for 1.29 and the regular ones for .99, which is about as good as I've seen. Odwalla bars are yummy, but I think I stopped eating them because they have a different balance of nutrients from the clif bars. But winco is usually pretty cheap for those, so once we're closer to a Winco, I may get more of them.

    I love to hear about where people come from and how they arrived where they are in life. I always find peoples' autobiographie very interesting. I hope you will keep sharing

    I got 71%-I guess that's pretty good? Coffe sounds good, as long as it has enough chocolate and milk and sugar to be palateable!

All is well at the McCoy Home

No real news to report...
Addie started Soccer last week. She seems to be having fun and I'm having fun watching her.
Lydia started Ballet last month the same place that Addie takes Ballet. Lydia LOVES it I'm pretty sure it's because it's about the only thing she does alone with out her sister. Addie and Lydia will both be in a Ballet Recital in the middle of June. It should be lots of fun. The theme is "Over the Rainbow"
I'm still going to PT twice a week and I'm finally starting to feel better on a more regular basis. I'm looking forward to spring break it will be nice to have Ken home for a week. Like I said no real new to report but sometimes no news is good news. Hope everyone in Oregon is enjoying the sunshine today. As soon as Lydia wakes up from her nap we are off to the park.
  • DessertDiva
    Aww, how cute a little ballet recital! You should post a video of it!

    Enjoy the beautiful day!!!
    by DessertDiva at 02/28/08 5:35PM
  • stylinmama
    I love that your girls are in ballet, that is too sweet!! I'm really glad you're feeling better now, hope you continue to. I have taken full advantage of the beautiful weather. We've gone to the park, taken Chris to lunch and gotten the car washed. :)

    Nestle Tollhouse is right by my house in Bethany Village shopping center. I think it's the only one in Oregon. It is good - they have lots of cookies (not just chocolate chip), bar cookies, ice cream, smoothies.... But.... it is VERY expensive. I was telling Jamie that I can bake dozens of cookies for the price of a couple there! Just an occasional treat for us! You should come up sometime and go to our cool pirate park near my house and we can go there afterwards! :)
