Home sweet home & the dermatologist........

Well we made it home safely from our trip to Colorado on Sunday evening. No car problems, no flat tires, no sicknesses, no ER visits and minimal crying from Jaylen in the car. We had a great time with family and friends but it always feels good to get back to our routine too. I'm working on a post with all our activities and pictures so it will be coming soon......maybe in segments cause we did a lot.

Our pedi had scheduled Jaylen with the dermatologist for this morning so we went to the appointment at Mercy earlier. They measured her birthmark and looked at the coloring of pigment, etc. They told us that it would be considered a small to borderline medium congenital nevus that has a very small chance of developing cancer from. It basically has the same chance an average mole on your body has of turning to cancer, which is minimal. They want to see her in 4 months to recheck it (they really watch them mainly during the first year) and then after that she'll probably only be seen if we notice any changes. They told us to watch for changes in pigment color and size change. Overall, it was great news and her hair will more than likely cover it up once it grows out so we won't have to worry about having it removed......sometimes people choose to have them removed when they are bigger and in more noticeable places.

Oh yeah, I need to post a picture of my garden too. I buried they plants WAAAAY too close together (beginning gardener!) and it is now out of control but so exciting cause I've got several squash that are like 5-6 inches long! Look for that post soon too!

The air force academy chapel is awesome! It was one of my favorite things when we went to CO Springs. Glad you had a nice trip.
