2 Weeks.....

We just got back from a pre-op check up with our pediatrician.  Gracie weighed in at 27 pounds (shoes and clothes).  We haven't seen Dr. P since she had the flu in February.  He walked in, looked at her, and said, "This is the best I have ever seen her look!"  I agree - makes it harder to take her to the hospital.  He thumbed through her charts and said, "Man, this kid has come a long way, hasn't she?"  Ears, throat, lungs, etc all looked great.  He said that he wanted to come by the hospital to check in on her.

So, here we go....  2 weeks from tomorrow.  Ugh.  My stomach is getting more and more nervous.  We have our heart cath next week to measure all of her pressures in her heart.

Start saying those prayers!

Kindergarten Graduation

My son is officially a first grader!  I am a little sad, because he is getting so big.  Here are some pictures and videos from his ceremony.







Minute to Win It

Bennett and Grace love to watch the show Minute to Win It.  It is one of their favorite shows.  Bennett - my creative child - loves to create games and try to "win."  (He also created a Wipeout course....but that is a whole different story....)


Here is the course and their "completion" of it....

Fun in the Mud

We went to the farm for Craig's birthday. (This is Craig's parent house)  They have a couple of hundred acres.  It rained all weekend.  Bennett, my little water bug, was very encouraged by D-Daddy to go check out the mud pit.  You can see what happened.....
