Prayers

My co-worker's son has been diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma, he is only 9. Please pray for him and his terrified family.

My first grader!!!! :(

He tried to smile through his tears! He was very nervous about going to school today, he kept wanting me to ask his teacher if I could stay if he promised not to play with me. I have to admit I left crying too. I felt terrible leaving with him upset but I know staying around would make it worse and I could tell his teacher wanted me to go. I'm going to have lunch with him now, I'm sure he will be fine!

More pool pics!

I hope ya'll enjoy pictures as much as I do!!!

I entitled these pool party with dad.

They hid under this boat and shot me for about and  hour, it was still funny to them long after it stopped being funny to me;)

This is Seth's inpersonation of Kevin! LOL!

"mom I'm not a baby any more!" I can't believe how grown he is :(

CHECK UP

So we went to our CF DR for a little check up before school started and his weight was down slightly which is no real biggy we will just adjust his food levels at night- which might i add what a releif it is to not leave there crying and falling apart fearing consequences of low weight! The other thing was that the Dr. was asking me questions about whether he snored at night and what his breathing patterns at night were. Well, after talking for a while and understanding the importance of his nose filtering the air (he sleeps with his mouth WIDE open, like he could catch flys!!) versus going directly through his throat we have decided to do a painless sleep study on Sept 25. It should be pretty easy, we will just go in at 6:30 pm, they will hook the little wires to his head so we can monitor his brain waves and oxygen levels and sleep until the morning then go home and await the results. The Doc was telling me that aside from the air not being filtered we also have to see if he is gagging or just sleeping restlessly since he cant get air through his nose (he has pollops that allow very little air to get through to his brain) because this could cause hyper activity (not my child LOL!) and lack of focus at school because he is always tired and never gets to the REM sleep. Not to mention the beeping from the feeding machine several times a night waking up the whole house! Hopefully this will be an easy A and we can go on with life as usual. Thanks for listening!

Enjoying the last of summer!!

We are trying our best to enjoy the last couple of weeks before school starts but considering this is the hottest summer on record in seven years it is really hard to enjoy the great outdoors unless we are in the water! How ever we do try to walk (ride around) the neighborhood a couple times a week Seth gets so hot just being out there that we have to take AC breaks! Non the less I think Seth and I have both really enjoyed being home together this summer, even if I am working from home (BTW thats VERY hard to do!) we have been able to spend so much quality time together and we all know just how priceless that it. Hope you guys are enjoying your summer too :)

P.S. Happy birthday grandma Jane!!
