Here are a few cute pics I've taken this last week..

And a few Kai took as well.. maybe she'll be a photographer? I won't hold my breath!

Today was such a sweet day with Kailee.

I took her to school, and got GREAT news that she is doing terrific in her class. They say she is really talking a lot and jut really outgoing and friendly. It's nice to hear good things about your kids..:)

We went to the park for lunch and played for a while. She was so loving to me and wouldn't stop hugging and kissing me. Maybe she misses me after a morning at school? Whatever the reason, I'll talk the lovin!

We go to UCLA for our "last" apt. before possible surgery. PLEASE, pray for us during this time of decision and unknown. We are still torn with the decision for Kailee to actually have the second ear done. Pray that God will make it apparent to us the road which to take:)

Baby #2 is growing...as I can now not hide it! I am very excited and feeling pretty well. I am 13 weeks and it already feels like I've been pregnant forever! I think the only thing that I miss is not being able to work out hard, and sweat!!! I love to sweat!

As soon as I know the sex, I will post immediately. That will not be for a few more weeks though!

Pre-School

I dropped Kailee off at her first day of pre-school yesterday! Wow, was that weird! She did GREAT. I walked her in, played with her for probably a minute before she was literally pushing me out the door. She kept saying "bye, bye". Why all the other kids were crying in their mom's arms, Kailee was pushing me out the door. Interesting..

I have to say, it made leaving her a bit easier! The teachers said she did great and is very social...I think we already knew that!

Here are a few pics of the morning.. nothing spectacular..She was a little busy looking at all her new friends.

My crazy girl!!

Well, it's official! Kailee is crazy! Today we went back to UCLA to have what was supposed to be her last apt. before surgery. That didn't go so well! I have never in my life seen such a crazy, un-satisfied little girl. She literally would not sit still! She would not listen to ANYONE, and they didn't get any of the info she needed for us to proceed with the second implant. Now, we need to go back at least one more time, if not two to finish up the testing.



I guess there are worse things in the world, but today was a long day.:) Please pray that next time we drive and hour and a half, then sit in the Dr.'s office for two hours, that my beautiful, but stubborn daughter will behave!

On a GREAT note... Kailee said " Love you momma" to me the other day, and today she told my mom "thank you grandma". Two-three words in a row is awesome! Praise God.



We are now down south with my folks and brother for the weekend.. have a good one!

Ear updates

We went to UCLA this week to have Kailee's right ear tested. Basically what they have to do is test her right ear to see how much usable hearing she has with and without her hearing aid. (We already know she cannot hear anything), but they have to go through certain steps in order to be approved for the second implant.
We will go back next week again to hopefully finalize the testing process and get her second surgery scheduled.

We are very excited, especially because Kailee is doing SO WELL lately with her left implant. GOD IS GOOD!!!!

Thank you for all your continued prayers and support..they are much appreciated!

OK.. SO I OWE EVERYONE AN ANNOUNCEMENT...

WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER BABY. I AM DUE LATE MARCH! WE COULD NOT BE MORE THRILLED. PLEASE PRAY FOR A SAFE AND HEALTH Y PREGNANCY.

Lake Trip

We just got back from our vacation to Lake Almanor with Jeff's family. What a trip!

All in all it was a great, semi-relaxing trip full of great weather and family. Besides Kailee getting swimmers ear( only lasted a few days thanlfully), she had a great time. She was the boss all week! I don't know how your children are, but my child decided to NOT listen to me or Jeff the entire trip. She had too many other people around her to spoil her:) Kai added two more words to her vocabulary list. FISH and BOAT. It's very cute! I am glad to be back home now, especially to have Kailee back in her own environment. Vacations are wonderful, but there is nothing like being home! I know it's been a while since I blogged, I promise I'll do better!

We see UCLA next week, so ill have more EAR updates then!

BIRTHDAY GIRL

We had a little BBQ party for Kailee on Sunday. What a blessing it is to have friends and family around her to love and care for her. She had a great time and definitely knew it was HER day.

I cannot believe she is 2 already! Time has flown by and we are so grateful for her. She is truly a gem, and I cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store for her in the years to come HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!
