29 degrees to 23 degrees

How ungrateful would I be if I did not thank my Heavenly Father for giving me such a brave girl. She has gone through so much in her life that I would not be able to do. Today we had her year check up. It was the longest wait time that I can remember. Naomi's left hip cup has to grow around her leg. Every year they take a x-ray and see if the cup has moved any. Last year we got a bad x-ray saying that it has not moved any. So this year if it did not grow anything then she would have another surgery to put a bone in there to cup around the leg bone, and be in a spica cast(full body cast) for 4 months. That does not sound fun to me. So I happy to say that it moved from 29 degrees to 23 degrees. (That is really good if you didn't know that)

We could not be happier today.
So I very grateful to my family and friends for prayer and fasting for her this month. My life would not complete with all of you in it to support us. So tonight I say my prayers in gratitude for a good hip and good friends and family.

Theres no place like Home

As much as I love Annette and want to help my Mom out. There is no place like home. This week has been crazy going back and forth from my Mom's to home. Today is my last day of being here to take care of Annette so I can sleep in my own bed!! But I am always glad to help out my Mom to get a break. Out of 365 days she gets 1 week of a break from her 40 year old daughter. If you think that you have it bad just think that my Mom has had 5 sets of twins and has changed over 50,000 diapers. What a great woman she is to never complain.
Thanks to Amy for being here with me and to hang out. It is always fun to take care of Annette when your sister can come with you, and her 2 sweet boys.

100 days

a great teacher

friends

Naomi was so excited about her 100 days in Kindergarten that we had to take a picture of it. She has enjoyed Kingergarten with Mrs. Drake and can't wait until she goes to 1st grade.

too much snow

I think that we have too much snow theses day. It snowed and the wind blew that there was so much snow up against our house that the girls could that a sneak peak over the snow. It took us a few hours and a 1 broken shovel to get threw the snow. After we have a little path Rick went on a hunt for a new shovel.

new room

This week the girls got a new bedroom set for the first time. They were so excited. I painted the room a new color. I thought that had room before but now space is limited. The girls now think they can jump from bed to bed. I put an end to that before we are getting a cast put on. The only thing that I would like to get is a new bedspread. So if any one know where to find a cute brown and pink bedspread that is a good price fell free to let me know.

growing up...

If you know me then you know that I love to paint my house. So I wanted to paint my girls room before there new furniture made it here. Naomi was so excited to help me painting that i let her help me paint to primer. My Naomi is growing up so fast she is a very good helper.

Dad's Shirts

The girls thought that wearing Dad's T-shirts for bed was pretty funny. Really they could not get to there dresser because there bedroom is all torn apart.

Thank You Thank You

Just wanted to say thank you thank you so much for fasting or saying a prayer for Naomi. I found out that so many people were fasting for her. I really do appreciate close friends and family that support me. So thank you again and I pray that on the 25th we have a good x-ray and we can put this behind us.
