Callie's Surgery

Callie went in for her second surgery on June 14th. She had tubes put into her ears at 9 months and this time she had a sebaceus nevus removed from her scalp. A nevus is a type of a birthmak some kids are born with, and this one left a quarter size bald spot on her head. Although the spot was not harmful at all, we decided that in the long run the chances of her being unhappy with it during her teen and adult years were pretty high so we opted for surgery now. She was a trooper and did great. By the afternoon she was relaxing on the couch playing on the Ipod and then even riding on her little car inside. I almost posted after pictures but thought I'd better wait till the stitches were out and it wasn't so icky looking.

Addyson's Birthday

We were invited to Addyson's 3rd birthday party. Addyson is my cousin Joni's little girl. It was very special to enjoy the time with family and let the twins get to know their second cousins as well. The kids played at the Splash Park and enjoyed Brownie Grill Cupcakes that Joni made. It was a blast.

NICU Reunion

A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of attending the NICU reunion at Texas Health Hospital Denton. The NICU is the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit where the kids had to stay for the first 23 days of their lives. It was fun to see the triplets that were our neighbors for a while and also a couple of the nurses who cared for Caden and Callie. I think it was also reassuring for some of the newly released NICU baby parent's to see such wild and crazy healthy two year olds running around. We hope this becomes an annual event.

Isn't the saying, "If at first you don't succeed... try, try again" or something like that... well after many times of messing with it and tweeking different settings I finally got it all figured out.. I THINK. Not sure I could fix it again or get anyone else a background set up but hey I got ours. Hope you enjoy.

So here it is... I'm trying to follow in the footsteps of some good friends and family members and post a blog based on our fun and crazy family adventures. I am excited about trying this new form of keeping up with our familly, however I have no idea who will actually read it and keep tabs on us. I can already tell you I won't be great at posting on a reqular basis and keeping cute backgrounds. Like I can't figure out how to make the cute background go all the way to the top of the page, but hey I'll do my best. Toodles for now...
