Pre-school

Our little B dog started preschool! He did so good. When I picked him up he ran into my arms and had tears coming down his face. He was just happy to see me! I love how his backpack is as big as him.

Happy Birthday to Brenan. Happy Birthday to you...

My baby is 3 years old. Starting preschool this week.

Thank you

for all your prayers. Avahs procedure went great. She didn't even shed a tear! She is so brave & strong. Avah got the royal treatment for the whole day. She was in quite a bit of pain for about 2 days. Now she is back to normal. We go back to the Dr in a few weeks to see if it worked.

Very own tour guide....

Student of the Month

So proud of our big girl! Today she received a Student of the Month Award!

Avah & Kayka

They share such a special bond!

The girls played while Kayals Mom shared Kaylas experience receiving the injection

Avah is scheduled to have Monday. It really helps to hear a Moms view.

Please

Pray for Avah.... Monday she is going to start a new treatment for her JRA. She has a new wonderful doctor and is suggesting we change her medicine. I have been struggling with this decision. Avah is going to get steroid injections into her inflamed joints (knee & wrist). Steroids scare me with a growing child. Her doctor assures us it is ok. It is hard to put all your trust into a doctor. From what I have heard it is very painful. After the injection she will have to be on bed rest for 24 hours to let the medicine settle. This will hopefully only have to be done 1-2 times a year instead of weekly like her current injections. I wish I could take the pain away from her. I am trying to find a way to explain to her what is going to happen but I haven't been able to bring myself to do it yet.....

OK so now I really have no excuse for not working out lately.... My Grandma (my kids Great Grandma) teaches an aerobics class 2 times a week and she is 87. Maybe this will be my motivation!!! She is on the front page of her local newspaper. Go Grandma!!

Happy St. Patricks Day

Sneeky

I went to kiss the kids good night one last time before I went to bed and this I what I found!

Just like the big boys

Brenan got a skateboard and refuses to sit and scoot on it. He wants to ride it and do tricks like the big boys. He is only 2.... He is quite the daredevil just like his sister.

Tie Day

Crazy hat day @ school

The dogs just love Brenan...
