Mom's surgery, snow, rolling over, & AU Tigers are the National Champions!

Last week my mom had surgery to remove breast cancer.  It was one globular spot in one breast, which was well defined.  She opted for the double mastectomy and reconstruction, as to hopefully not worry about it again.  I was nervous the day of the surgery and Mallory came over to hang with us in Nashville on that Tuesday.  It lasted almost 7 hours, everything went well, lymphnodes tested negative (wohoo!), and she came home on Thursday.  Me and Marlee went by to eat lunch with Dave on Thursday and went to Centre afterwards.  The plan was to stay until Monday or so, and Dave came for Saturday and spent the night.  Mom could get around surprisingly well, but really enjoyed the help and especially the company.  It was torture that she couldn't pick Marlee up though.  ;)  I ended up leaving on Sunday as well, because of the threat of severe winter weather.  They were predicting 5-10 inches of snow and lots of ice.  They got 5-6inches and the roads are pretty bad, so I guess it was a good thing that we didn't get snowed in and away from daddy.  Hated to leave my mom though.  My dad's office has been closed, so he has only worked part days.  My mom is supposed to go back to the doctor this week in B'ham, but we'll see if they can get there.  So glad she is recovering so well!

Tennessee got some snow too...about three inches, and schools have been closed this week so far.  We both made it back before any sign of it starting.  I had to reschedule my dentist appointment, but Dave has made it to work so far.  It's so pretty, sticking in the trees and everything, but may get a little stir crazy.  Looking forward to a weekend at home with our little family!

Yesterday, Auburn played Oregon for the National Title and won 22-19.  I had so many friends that traveled to Arizona for the game...I know it was expensive, but probably worth every penny when it was all said and done.  Some people didn't make it out of Alabama because of the weather, and I think some flights back to AL and GA were canceled as well.  So excited for the Auburn family that Auburn won the 2010 National Championship!

Marlee is now rolling over a lot more and practicing sitting up in her Bumbo seat quite a bit.  She pushes up high and straightens her arms, getting stronger and stronger.  She's still sleeping at least 7 hours straight at night and on an eat, play, sleep routine.  She has started talking/babbling and laughing/squealing a lot more...it's so cute!  She loves chasing Nana and flying around with daddy.  Her 4 month appt went well, although she did NOT like having her ears looked at, but no infections.  She weighed 13lbs 4oz and 24 in long.  She cried, but handled her shots well.  Looks healthy and great!  Getting to be such a big girl!
