WOW!

I cannot believe that I am now 30!

SO cute

A few weeks we were lucky enough to have my sister and my nephew come and visit. It was wonderful to see them and we really had a great time. Grant is 9 weeks younger than Clara but they had a great time and were so cute together. All and all, they did a great job sharing a playing together.

Grant really hit it off with Beau.






Grant even got his hair cut by Beau. He was wonderful. He did not fight and wiggle. He looked so adorable with his buzz cut. I cannot wait to see him again. It was a lot of fun to see how different little boys and girls are. We love you Grant

Beau Update

Round three. Beau is feeling a bit better.The pain is being managed. Still cannot talk but is now sleeping and not really snoring. I cannot believe it. I never thought I would have a quiet nights sleep without a CPAP. It seems like the operation results were achieved.

18 months old

Edit Posts

I cannot believe that my sweet Clara-belle is 18 months old. The time has passed so fast. She has a way of keeping us all on our toes and also the sweetest smile. She is so serious around everyone but inside she just lights up a room.


Now that Clara is 18 months I finally broke down and took Clara to get her haircut. She was wonderful and held perfectly still while she got her hair cut. Afterword, I looked at her and realized how big she has gotten. She is no longer my little baby. She is now my big girl!

We have a Court Date!

I am beyond excited. We have a court date for the first of two dates that we will have to adopt Grace. It is anyone's guess on how the proceedings will go or if it will be contested. But by Feb. 9th we will know. If anyone is able to write a letter of recommendation for us, please let me know and I will email more details to you.

Beau Update

After a long few days, we have finally found the right combo to help get Beau's Pain mostly under control. The first medication that he was on did not work for him. They switched his medication and the new one relieved his pain but made him nauseated. He is starting to get some rest and I have finally been able to look into his mouth and see what they did. All I can say is "WOW". I can see the stitches and everything. We are hanging in there.

We are home...

Beau is home and we are trying to take care of him. He is unable to sleep due to apnea and swelling. The pain meds only work for about an hour. I am getting better at understanding grunts and answering to knocking when Beau is trying to get my attention. I have realized how much I enjoy talking to my husband and how much he helps me. Well, I should go and take care of the girls.

Out of surgery and in ICU

Beau's surgery went well. He was done quicker than anticipated. The Doctor said he was happy with the results. Beau had his tonsils out and also what they call a 3p. He is in the ICU now and will be there all night. Hopefully tomorrow I can bring him home. He is very swollen right now and on pain meds. And I cannot get him to quit talking. I'll update tomorrow.

Beau's Surgery

Beau is headed into surgery now. Please keep him in your prayers for a successful operation and a quick recovery. I will keep you posted.
