Trap trap and more trap!

Chad and I are shooting trap together this year in a league here in town. This has been a great thing for the two of us to do together!! Its nice to be able to have something to look forward to doing without the kids, and its something that we both enjoy doing together. The other great thing about it is that its something that I can do that Chad didn't have to teach me, because well really he has not patience for that sort of thing! I'm still in the learning process of it, but I do pretty good hitting the clay pigeons! Im no where near how good Chad is, but he has been doing it alot longer than I have.

It's also really nice because I get to see my friends and spend some time with them that night too, as a bunch of my girlfriends are on an all girl team that I was on with them last year. I miss being able to shoot with them, but I'm thankful to have something for just me and Chad to do.

We did try to take the kids with us one day, and found that it really wasn't all that much fun or relaxing with them around. Both of us were preoccupied with making sure they were ok that neither one of us shot very well.

So I now can say that we have found something for us to do together! Its been great for our relationship. The past year of struggles finally seems to be a distant path, and we are back to being the couple we were when we first got married! It's a wonderful blessing!

So another month or two down the road and I return. I always tell myself that I'm going to follow through and blog more often, but life for me just gets in the way of that!

Everything here in the Brannaman household is going well. Chad is back at Peterbilt after being active in the Army for a year, and its going to be an adjustment all the way around I think, but I have all the faith in the the world that it will all work out!

Bailey has been diagnosed with severe asthma! Great just what we needed right! I feel horrible watching her catch her breath some days and there isnt much I can do to help her but give her inhaler and watch her! They are going to be sending us to see a pulmonologist in Denver for her now, as it would be much easier to help us get this under control! Poor baby girl!

Caydence on the other hand is doing amazingly well all things considered!! We are currently on a month by month basis on seeing how things are going before we go back for transplant. So what does that mean? It means that it all depends on her! She is going to be the one that determines when we go back to Houston for her lung transplant. There really is no set plan right now, and actually that is ok with me! I am so happy that for now she gets to be a normal kiddo and play at daycare with her friends, and play at home with her brothers and sister!! I am still amazed at how much she can go through all the time and still be as happy as she is! I know that if it was me there would be no way I could keep up being that happy!

So for now we are just settling back into what is our normal around here. I am not working and learning to be a stay at home mom is somewhat of a struggle for me, but I know that I will figure it out! And for all of my friends out there that know my "fights" with the laundry... I have overcome that!! There is NO mountain!!! Its a wonderful thing to be able to look around and know that the house is all picked up!! What a wonderful feat! Too bad it only took spending two months at the Ronald McDonald House in Houston with very limited clothing for this too happen, but it did and thats all that matters!!
