We're praying and believing that 2012 will be a good year. We are looking forward to good news, and happiness for our friends and family. The kids are off to a great start in school, and their attitudes are great. They have their days, but for the most part they are happy and easy going.
Aaron is continuing to thrive and grow, with no more 'seizure' like episodes so far. His oxygen sats have been just where they need to be, yay!! He's even started to talk a little...so far his most frequent word is "ME!!".
Grace is doing so good in school, it makes me so happy to celebrate her successes with her and see her grow. Her kindness and gentle heart really warms my heart. She'll be a teenager in just a few months, good lord where has the time gone!!?
Ali is a free spirit. She doesn't let anything or anyone stop her from her goals. I'm so proud of the little lady she is becoming. So consistently shows her little sister love and patience.
Jake...well, he is growing into such a neat little man. He is so stinkin smart, he amazes me every day!! And he loves his brother!
Sarah is a joy to be around. She fills my days with comic relief and with her there is never a dull moment. Shes her daddy's little girl, that's for certain.
Charlie is growing like a weed(see the difference!!). She is starting to like to play with us, her bouncer seems to be one of her most loved toys. Although shes still nursing, shes started solid foods and is eating like a champ! Steak and taters for her soon!
And with a new year brings new beginnings.... its time for us to get on a better eating plan. I was diagnosed with a Lap Band slip in December which we had planed to work through by going to liquids for about eight weeks. Luckily, what we believed to be a slip wasn't a 'slip' but a mis-read Upper GI Series. The radiologist who read the UGI was not familiar with the Lap Band procedure and shouldn't have made the diagnosis he did. The problem is a simple one, and one that is easily remedied- a, enlarged 'pouch' above the band. I need to eat less more often and make better food choices. So, I found a simple way to get that done... its called Diet to Go It's a meal order service that prepares meals according to your specific needs. How ingenious! I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
