SILLY FACES!

Gracie has begun to make the silliest, but sweetest faces.  Here are a few.  She smiles so big that her whole face smushes (is that a word), and she loves to wrinkle her nose and make this funny little nose where she is blowing air out of her mouth.  She has definitely made progress with her two bottom teeth, believe me she has used them on me (and I won't say where), if you look closely at the picture below you can see them.  Right now she has this little rash around her bottom lip and underneath her child.  Nurse says it's from all the drool.  We're treating it with Eucerin (aka: Miracle Cream).

KATIE 1 --- cancer 0

Well we have fabulous news, Katie's cancer has shrunk and her Doctor feels encouraged that what is still there is scar tissue.  We're all grinning ear to ear with this news!  She's going to continue on with the rest of her treatments for a few months and keep checking the progress, which we will all continue to pray for.  This is wonderful news and the Cox family is extremely happy to hear this.  Here's a picture of Gracie and her Aunt Katie cuddling.  This picture is a bit old, hint hint, shouldn't we take some new ones, hint hint!!! Continue to keep Katie in yours prayers, as they are being answered!!!!

KEEP GRACIE IN YOUR PRAYERS!

Well our daycare room, The Angels, has three cases of RSV.....and Gracie is one of them.  A coworker of mine emailed me last week to tell me her 3 month old son had it and I just knew I better get Gracie into the Doctor.  She'd started some cold like symptoms on Sunday, but had acted ok.  Well, she had it, and we've been home ever since.  She is taking liquid Albuterol and then we're treating the cold like symptoms.  Poor thing has a yucky cough and is full of boogies.  She is still running a fever, so that will keep her out of daycare till her body can kick that.  Please keep her in your prayers for a speedy recovery and some rest for her tired mommy and daddy.  She is enjoying her sippy cup, she hasn't mastered the tilting up part, but sure likes to chew on it.  She also loves bathtime, and adores her bath ring we just got for her.  She loves to splash us and grab her toys from the water.  Such a sweet girl!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT CARRIE!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday Aunt Carrie, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!  Sending lots of love to Carrie in Virginia on her birthday!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well the new year brings a new project for me and that is to keep this blog spot going.  Well honestly it's to figure it out!  It seemed so easy when Kyle (thanks for your help) was teaching me, but....  The year 2008 ended with a bang, we traveled to Childress and Gracie got to meet lots of family.  It was so great to see everyone, it's been too long, we need to get together more often!  Gracie loved all the attention and although she didn't sleep much, she had a great time and loves her family.  Gammy came to Midland to help with some house remodeling and ring in the new year with Gracie.  Gracie was a party animal on New Years, she stayed up till 7:30pm!

Christmas in Childress!

 Here are some pics from our family gathering at Paw Paw's.  It was so much fun to see everyone and catch up.  We had lots of yummy food, took loads of pictures and caught up on everyones lives.  We need to do this more often.  I say we all meet at the lake this summer, any takers???  Linda (my mother in law) came and spent time with us this Christmas too, I'm sure we were overwhelming, but it was great to have her there.

Dear Santa, I want.....

We went with Jolene, Harris and Tanner to visit Santa.  Gracie was very interested in him and took a handful of Santa's beard with her.  She sat very patiently in his lap and I'm sure whispered her many Christmas wishes to him.  She also loved posing in front of all the beautifully decorated trees at the Museum of the Southwest with her, as Tanner would say, "her brothers"!
