Surgery

Our sweet little Tay is home and doing well. Taylor was diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea. On Monday Taylor went into Primary Children's for surgery to remove her adenoids and tonsils. While in surgery the doctors thought they discovered a bigger problem. They thought Taylor had an abnormally wide septum and that she would need some extensive surgery soon. The doctors scheduled Taylor for a CT Scan Tuesday morning to research her further. As you can imagine this is not something a mother wants to hear. I was already over the top imaging what Taylor was going through. I prayed and prayed and prayed for a miracle. The next day the cat scan revealed that Taylor did not have an abnormally wide septum and she will not need surgery for it after all!!!!! That was the answer to our prayers! We believe and are so grateful our heavenly father was watching over our little angel and family. What a wonderful blessing.

Taylor does need to have oxygen for a week only when she sleeps. Then if everything goes well with that, she can sleep on her own, like "a baby." In about 6 weeks she will undergo a sleep study to determine if her sleep apnea is under control.

We want to thank everyone involved for all your love and support. We love you and God Bless.

Jesus won

So I have another cute story about Grady. We were watching TV and the GEICO commercial was on where the cave man is amongst a crowd of people in the stadium and he wins GEICO's greatest customer or other and they show the cave man's face on the jumbo tron as the winning customer. Anyhow, Grady says, "Jesus won mommy". Now that is cute.

Sleepover

Grady always wants to have his cousins sleep over at our home. I have to tell ya, it's only happened once where we had his cousin Karli spend the night. They had a blast and I think this is why he's all about the sleep over thing.

So tonight Grady was asking, "Mom, can Toria (his cousin Victoria) sleep over?" My response was No because it is a school night. Grady didn't give up..."Mom, can Karli (another cousin) sleep over?" No. same reason. "Mom, can Marley (this one is a friend) sleep over?" No...same reason. He was getting upset so I said, "Grady, can I sleep over?" He looks at me and says, "You're our mom remember?" LOL!!!

I LOVE MY SON GRADY!!!!!

So need my hair done

Walking!!! Finally!!!

Okay, so I can officially say that my little girl is walking. It only took her 16 months! :) She has been what I like to call "Frankenstein Walking" for a couple weeks, but now she's walking like a pro. I love this girl.

Silly

Here we have Mommy and Tay being silly. Being silly is one of our favorite things to be. :)

Great Grandma's and Grandpa's

Yesterday we, along w/ Jenny and Addie, went to visit Great Grandma and Grandpa Workman. It was SO NICE to see them. Grandpa sure loves little babies. He couldn't get enough of Addie and Taylor. Anyone who knows him, knows he LOVES to kiss the back of babies necks. And he says, "Oh, that sweet, sweet precious little baby!" It is so fun to watch Grandpa Workman love those little ones.

We are so grateful for Great Grandma and Grandpa Workman. We are blessed with their examples. I am thankful Grady and Taylor have had the chance to know them and feel their love. They are wonderful spirits and we love them very much. We hope to learn ALL we can from them.

4 Years Old!

Well yesterday November 12, 2008 Grady turned 4. I can't believe it. He is growing so fast...too fast. :) He is so sweet. He always makes sure he gives me lots of hugs and kisses every day. And whenever we say prayers he never forgets to bless all the grandmas and grandpas.

Another thing about Grady is he is SO independent. He likes to dress himself and put his shoes on (this takes FOREVER) but I have to let him do it because it's good for him, he has to put his own seatbelt on, pour his own milk, zip his jacket (this also takes forever), brush his teeth, and he has to lead the way when we go on walks.

It is so fun watching him grow into a young man. The amount of love I have for my son is more than I can explain. My kids are EVERYTHING to me and I am truly grateful for the examples they are to me in my life. There is no greater blessing.

We are having his birthday party this weekend so I'll post the pictures after that. Thanks for reading. :)
