Korbin is my princess

Today Noah got to spend the ENTIRE day w/ his best buddy Korbin. He was so excited last night when I told him that Korbin was picking him up in the morning. He said "Mom...Korbin's my best friend. He's my princess!" "Noah, boys are not princesses, just girls." "No mom, he's my boy princess!" How cute is that?! Karen & Korbin came to pick him up this morning at 9:30. During that time Daddy & I were able to run some errands & went out to a nice lunch w/ Maggie Moo. She sat up in a highchair & didn't even get tired. What a big girl!



Andrew & Isabella had early release today so they got to spend a little time w/ Dad before he was off to work at the restraunt. When Karen dropped him off he wore the fun day on his face. Korbin ended up staying so that David & Karen could go to dinner & a movie. The boys were so exhausted by 6pm that they started fighting & crying every 2 seconds. Andrew & Bella decided to distract the boys by playing "Underwear Man...(woman)"..it worked!

Happy Birthday Aunt Heidy & Aunt Lilly!

After I picked Isabella up from Ballet & Jazz we went to Papa & Mimi's to celebrate Aunt Heidy & Aunt Lilly's Birthday. The whole family was there ready to party. Even Georgie & Rene were able to make it!






Dad & Andrew didn't make it cause it was Andrew's first soccer practice. Dad said Andrew did awesome! Can't wait to see him at practice on Thursday night.

Kidney Surgery

I'm writing this & Maggie is in surgery right this moment. I'm trying not be too anxious & rely on the Philipians 4:6-7: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

So we woke up really early this morning to get ready for Maggie's big day. Of course Maggie was in great spirits as always. We arrived at here to Phoenix Children's Hospital at 5:30am. Once we got checked in Maggie got in her gown & she was out playing in the waiting room. Grandpa Rick, Grandma Mary & Aunt Chrissy were here to pray w/ us before Maggie went in. Unfortunately Dr. Mancuso, Maggie's ENT didn't show so no tongue surgery. I hate that we gotta postpone that but what can I do? So here are a few pics of Maggs before surgery. Will post more as she gets out.

A very scarey day!

Uncle Noel had been complaining of some pressure in his head & thought he had a sinus infection. After a couple of weeks on pain meds & anti-biotics, he wasn't getting better. Heather took him to the Emergency Room at St. Joe's last night & they admitted him ASAP in the ICU. Being as how Uncle Noel had a brain tumor 17 years ago the doctors were very scared about what all this would mean. We were told that this surgery would be more dangerous & threatening than the last one so many years ago. Well being as how he had only a 20% chance of survival last time obviously the odds were worse now. Of course the family came together & through fear & hope we turned the only place to turn...God! After almost 24 hours of preparing for another open surgery one doctor came in w/ a shred of HOPE! We were told they might be able to go in w/ a scope & remove the mass that way. Praying & continuing to believe for a miracle. We won't know anything until Tuesday...Of course that's when Maggs goes in for her surgery!

Noah begins preschool...again...

Noah was so excited to start back up at Debbie's house. It was all he could talk about for 2 days. I love it when I have Blackmail on my kids! Today he learned that "E" is for Elmo & he got 2 Elmo books to help him remember. After preschool w/ Debbie is was lunch w/ Aunt Heidy & Rene at Native New Yorker for $.35 wings. YUMMY!
