Spiderman lives at our house...

I woke up this morning after sleeping in a little late. As I stepped into the living room, Bryce had his look that he was "up to no good". I casually asked, "What have you been doing?". He replied hastily, "nothing" with a crooked smile on his face. When I see that smile I know he is up to something he shouldn't be doing. Everything in the house looked normal, and everything was in its place as I looked around to investigate. I asked Bryce again and promised I would not be upset if he would show me. He cheerfully boasted that he could climb a wall like Spiderman. This is what he demonstrated....

Corsen's Surgery

We arrived at the surgery center.

In the waiting room watching the fish

Right before Corsen goes to the OR

Corsen had his surgery today to put tube in his ears. He has battled multiple ear infections and practically had antibiotics everyday for several months. I am hopeful that the tubes will eliminate most of the ear infections. He did great with the procedure today. It took about 10 minutes for the actual procedure. After he went to the recovery room we were allowed to see him. He was not the same kid, he literally screamed and cried for 30 minutes as we patiently waited for the effect of the anesthesia to wear off. After we left the surgery center he was his happy little self. When we arrived home he ate breakfast and went to sleep.

Open House

Today was open house at Rush. I met many of my chronic medical kiddos and parents. I feel so much at peace now that I met (almost) everyone. I feel so blessed to be at this job. Everyone is super nice. My principal, the staff, and the teachers are wonderful. God has truly blessed me! School starts Monday. I'm getting a little nervous, but mostly excited! I look forward to a GREAT year!

Bryce's Bedtime Prayers

Every night at bedtime I look forward to hearing Bryce's sweet, innocent prayers. It consists of three little prayers. The first and second ones are songs he learned at Covenant daycare. The third is my favorite because he speaks from his little heart. It is always different every night. It just makes me proud to know that he is thankful for the many things in his little life. The video will only have sound because Bryce will only say his prayers when the lights are out.

Corsen is Walking

Corsen has decided he is done crawling. A couple of days ago he started walking. It is SO cute to see him waddling around the house. As you will see he is still a little unsteady. He gets faster everyday. It is so fun to watch him learn and do new things.

Bryce would often ask, "When is Corsen going to get big and walk." Now he asks, "When is Corsen going to get big and talk."

Exciting News!!

Today I was offered a school nurse position with Lubbock ISD at Rush Elementary. I am so excited! When I received the phone call this morning and accepted the position, I hung up and could not contain myself. I was so overjoyed I was literally jumping up and down. Bryce joined in and gave me a BIG hug and said in his sweet little voice, "Good Job, Mom. I'm proud of you." We are now in the process of finding a new daycare for the boys. They attend daycare at Covenant, which is for employees only. My last day at Covenant is August 13, however, I will remain oncall so that I can work during summers and school holidays. School starts August 25.

Happy Anniversary

On July 29, 2006 Seth & I married on the beach at Riviera Maya in Mexico. Many changes have taken place within those two years. I'm so proud of our little family. Life just gets better every year! Seth is an amazing husband and Dad. I have been so blessed to have in my life. Much thanks to Angela and Luke who set us up on our blind date.
