Happy Easter!!

We had a really fun belated Easter.
Unfortunately, getting four girls to be adorably photogenic
at the same time is next to impossible.
Still, I felt the need to give it a good ol' college try.
How bad could it be??

Photo Number One.
Three out of four with cute smiles.
This isn't as bad as I anticipated.
I'm feeling really hopeful.

Aria is holding the wrong twin's head up.
Sofia is none too pleased.
Gianna thinks that's funny.
Celia is getting grumpy.
This is only the second picture taken.

Photo number Three.
We've lost three.
It's going downhill FAST.


Aria is bored.
Sofia is screaming.
Celia has fallen and can't get up.
Gianna is still adorable.
We are SO. DONE.

Our after nap attempt went sightly better.
We still only have three out of four.
Ugh.

Let's move on to the egg hunt.
Our neighbors may or may not think we are strange.
I think we're okay with that.

Gianna designated herself Celia's buddy
without being asked.
She sweetly pulled her in the go-go and,
each one Celia touched with her foot
she would put in her basket for her.
Melt. My. Heart.

.
Can't we just get one picture with all smiles?!?
Pretty please?
With chocolate bunnies on top??

Sofia walked around the yard picking up eggs and singing,
"Cleanup, Cleanup everybody, everywhere."
Haha...heehee....hahaha
Her very first Easter egg hunt and
she thinks we sent her to clean up the yard.
I like it.

Let's try one more group shot.
Random arm guy ruined the touching moment.
Celia is bracing herself for more picture torture.
Okay, one more?
Just ONE MORE.

Celia's losing it.
Sofia is actually the sheep dog in the dress on the right.
Sigh.
Okay, last one, I promise.

I. GIVE. UP!!!

    A wise old Chinese saying, "the more people in picture, the less likely picture good" I think you might add, "the younger the models, the fewer smiles you can count on". Next year will be better, I'm sure. We love them anyway!

How Can It BE??

It's been almost a year since I've posted and for some strange reason, I found a few extra minutes in my day( crazy, huh?) and thought I would catch-up the TWO WHOLE people who might still be checking in now and then. On May 11, 2014 our world was changed in the sweetest way with the birth of our granddaughter. And GUESS WHAT?!? All those stupid , ahem , quippy things said by grandparents everywhere, are, in fact, TRUE! She is the sweetest, smartest little treasure EVER and I would definitely have been a grandma first if I knew how amazing this is. (Sorry, kids.) And we have the privilege of having her 1-2 days per week, which makes this MiMi blissfully happy but also a tad busy. She is now 10 months old, and can tell you what an elephant and a lion says. She is determined to grow up as quickly as she possibly can, and plans to start walking yesterday. She is a GO-GETTER and is on the move. Having her weekly is such a precious gift. I love it that my grown kiddo...

The Blessinngs of the Lord make rich...

 Matching PJs and ready for bed. Aren't they adorable?  My and ALL FOUR of my daughters. My cup really runs over!!  Gianna and Celia. I am glad that we prepared ourselves for CP. She is only hypontic in her neck, but she is spastic in her arms, so she is resourseful and uses her feet to grab toys you hold up for her. She is happy, smiley, and sweet as sugar. I am not upset so understand I am saying this as more matter of fact, but she is like a 6 month old in every way. I pray for her sake that some good therapy and nutrition will help her tremendously. She is definitely on the more severe end of CP. We are not shocked, in fact I really expected this end of the spectrum. Please don't feel "sorry" for us or her. She is a blessing and we are privileged to be called to such a child.  Right after we got back to  the hotel room. Sofia only wants ME or Aria. Or she is crying pretty hysterically. We don't mind- at least I have some one to take turns with if I need ...

Oh what a difference 24 hours makes.

This morning, the PICU nurse announced that we would be moving to the floor today.  I argued with her. I begged. I offered lunch and dinner for the whole PICU staff if they would keep us just one more night.  You see,I spent last night pressing her morphine button every 30 minutes all night long. The nurse came in every hour. She had to check her THREE IVs. Her chest tube that was draining a tremendous amount of blood. Her pain was hard to manage. Her heart rate elevating was our biggest clue, because she never complained. She had a high level of oxygen needed to keep her stats up.  I liked the comfort of knowing that we had one nurse, right outside the door, whose only job all night long was to monitor Gianna and fix every problem as it arose. The nurse laughed and said, "Don't worry she'll be ready. Oh, and she needs to get up and walk today..." What?!??!? It has been LESS than 24 hours since she had major surgery. And then the flurry started. Xrays were taken. Thre...
