new update Our house still hasn't sold yet. We've only had 3 viewers. RaeAnna is learning new words every couple of days. Her newest word is glue. I haven't heard her say it but Darrell did. She learned how to suck her belly in and let it out. I have no idea where she learned that from lol. A couple of days ago we took RaeAnna to a get together and they had a moon walk. She was a wild girl in that thing lol. She was jumping and throwing herself all over. It was so funny! RaeAnna likes to say ewie (like gross or yuck), dup (for cup), bup (for up), and dackie (for jackie our dog). Whenever we see other kids her size she likes to go up and give them a kiss. At the school yard, there's a frog that you can move back and forth on. She can climb on and off of it by herself. I remember when I worked in the toddler room some kids RaeAnna's age couldn't do that. I do know though that there are a lot of things other kids her age can do that she can't yet. We're trying to limit the amount of time we give Rae her nonny (pacifier) because she's been chewing them and a couple of them had little holes. Also Rae had a WIC appointment and we had them check her medicaid card to see if she still had medical because we had received a paper from welfare saying she was going to lose her medical. So we sent in the paperwork for it on time and in person and you know them unorganized people lost it and so Rae has been without medical since March 25th. On May 8th, I go to fill out insurance papers through WIC to get Rae back on medical. The welfare office is a piece of crap and don't help you! Anyway that's all that's going on.

My sweet girl RaeAnna finally got her last eye tooth in today. I knew she was teething because her poop is burning her butt. Sometime within the next 4-5 months we will be moving to Arizona. Even if there were jobs here my dad doesn't want any dogs living in his house. We could never get rid of Jackie or Spunky because we raised them from puppies. Darrell will have a job down in Arizona as either a prison guard or a supervisor. That's all that's going on here.

more teeth and changes RaeAnna got another tooth. It's the left eye tooth otherwise known as the canine tooth. So I was looking at pictures of Rae from around Christmas time. I can't believe how much her hair has grown since then and how babyish she looked then. It's just amazing. She's starting to say more words. Just today she said baby doll, cookie and thank-you. On a sad note, I know that we'll be moving we just don't know where yet. We could move to my parents house which would be easier since they're only 30 minutes away and we get along with them. They would fix up the family room so Darrell and I could live in there and it would be like a little apartment. Rae would have her own room, Logan would have his own room and my brother would stay in my old room. I don't know how well Logan would take Rae moving into his room and him moving into my brother's room though. The only bad thing is here in Michigan jobs are scarce and if you get one it's usually a crap job with hardly any pay. Darrell's working but unfortunately he only gets work 2 days a week lately. Darrell and I were thinking he could go back to school to learn a different trade. Also we would have to rent a storage unit. Our other option, is to move in with Darrell's parents down in Arizona. Darrell doesn't get along with his dad and I don't feel comfortable around them. Rae doesn't even know them. The last time she saw her grandma Pam was when she was 1 month old. The last time she saw her grandpa Darrell she was 8 months old. The other bad thing is that Darrell and I would have to share a room with Rae and our 3 dogs. Darrell can still go to school to learn a trade but where his parents live it's 45 minutes away from any work places, hospitals etc. How great would that be if we had to rush Rae to the hospital for something and it's 45 minutes away? OMG the thought just scares me! The good thing about moving down there would be that there are jobs. I'm absolutely devastated and depressed thinking that we might have to move in with his parents. Either way wherever we move we're going to hurt someone. My parents don't want to see us leave but on the other hand Darrell's parents really want us to live down there and so it would hurt them if we move in with my parents. If we move in with Darrell's parents, Darrell and I won't be happy and I don't know how Rae is going to be living in a house with people, 5 dogs, and 2 cats that she doesn't even know. Let alone I don't know how Rae is going to be living in a state altogether different from anything she's ever known. What are we going to do??? We have some huge decisions to make coming up very soon.
