Nativity

We went to the live nativity at my in-laws stake. It was so much fun although it was more a petting zoo for the kids than a nativity. Maybe some year they will get into it, but it was fun to see the animals and George even got to pet the Camel. He thinks they are the coolest animals. He even imitates their sound!?! I love Christmas!!

Teresa and I trying to get a picture of the kids but as you can see this in the best one we could get.

Like I said the petting zoo!

Cheese!! I had to keep telling people she was a girl, so sad to wear all your older brothers hand me downs and be mistaken for a boy.

George and the Camel!

The Camel.

Scarloo and dad looking at the Camel.

Almost There

We went into Infectious Disease(nice name hu!?!) yesterday and they said everything looks good. So we are done with his antibiotic and will check his labs in a week to make sure it all still looks good. If they are still looking good we can schedule a time with Surgery to take out his Broviac and the poor kid can finally get in the tub and swim!!! I can not wait till we can officially wash the hospital off of him, we have had to give him wash cloth baths this whole time. Not a 3 year olds idea of fun for the tub!?! He is doing great in his bubble and we are going to keep it that way till he is 30.

Brag Time

So most of the time when people brag it is about their kids. Well this time it is about me, so brace yourselves. I just wanted to tell everyone that I passed my real estate exam on Saturday. I was so excited because I really did not think I was going too after having Thanksgiving and going shopping on Friday at 4 AM, thanks Randi. But I did it so I just wanted to let you all know if you need a real estate agent let me know. That is all my bragging I am allowed for myself, till next time!!

We are slowly going grazy...

...one two three four five six switch, Crazy we are slowly going six five four three two one switch!!
I am in need of all your help. I am not sending George back to school until Kindergarten so I am in need of some ideas. I don't want him to be behind in learning so if any of you have good ideas of learning things I can do with him let me know. If there was anything your kids loved in school, something you do with them. Also if there are any outings that he may enjoy too. Really anything would help, I have designated a cabinet for all of his learning things so they do not get used up like his toys, just to make them special. I look forward to seeing your comments!

Shark Bites

When George gets a little older and his friends ask him what all his scars are from I think he should tell them they are shark bites. He has too many for it to be a boring story like heart surgery!?! But I thought I would post the picts of his new war wounds. The one coming out of his chest is his broviac where the nurses can draw blood and don't have to poke him, we like that. That is also where I give him his IV antibiotic. The scar on his side is where they went in and spread his ribs to clean out the junk in the lining of his lungs. The one under that incision is his chest tube hole. He has a matching scar on the right side from when he was 6 months old, I know it was just George's OCD that made him get this Pneumonia so he could even out his scars.

Scarlet needs some blog time too. I have never understood the pictures of kids falling asleep in their highchair but now I do. I went into the other room and George yells at me "She's asleep" I came in to see this. Luckily she did not have any food in her mouth when she dozed off.

So Sad!!

Everyone who knows me, knows that I love Harold's and worked there for many years. Well the other day they filed for BANKRUPTCY!!!! I am so sad but on the other hand everything is on sale. So everyone who likes a good deal head to Harold's they will only be open till the end of December.

Harold's we will miss you!

HOME!!!

We are home!! I can not believe it, we all had a good nights sleep and I am getting this nursing thing down. George still has his central line that I have to give him his antibiotic and we have to give him shots in his tummy to prevent clotting with his central line. We think we will have to do this for about 4-6 weeks but who cares I am just happy to be home with my kids.

When we got home yesterday Scarlet came walking around the corner and George was so surprised she could walk. I set him down and they gave each other a bonk on the forehead and started to laugh. I think they were both so happy to see the other and they have just been playing ever since. George has been doing so good at home it is easier for him to forget that he is sick at home.

We are here in our little bubble and I am not leaving for the longest time, that hospital stay was miserable, I don't want to have to do that again!! Thank you all for all of your support and prayers, we love you all.
