OK so I have discovered a new love or should I say obsession ... Blogs about books. I Love reading and now I am finding that I enjoy reading all the reviews on books and the interviews with the Authors that write them. Not to mention contests.... come on winner winner chicken dinner :) Great way to spend an evening.

christmas 2009.....I can't believe it's here already! This is my favorite time of year. I so look forward to all the time spent with family and friends. All the gatherings and all the wonderful yummy food. I wish it lasted longer than a month.

been a long time

Look at how much they have grown.......Every time I look at them I am amazed at the speed they are changing. I spent my vacation this week cleaning and organizing as usual. One of the days I got side tracked and spent hours just looking through old photos of when they were little. Makes you wish you could go back and pay more attention.

Makenna had her braces put on today...it was horrible...very painful for both of us. She picked green and red rubber bands for christmas.

So for the second day in a row we made a trip to valley children's this time for makenna. She had to go to the Scoliosis clinic for her back. Turns out she has two curves in her back check out the picture. She will need to go every 6 months for check-up and she will have to do some physical therapy. The doctor says it is common because she grew so fast. She is just getting to big for her own good :) Nothing but worry for us moms and dads.

Ok so guess what we did today....Emilie had bad stomach cramps this morning and the school nurse thought it was her appendix...so we rushed to the doctor who then sent us to Valley children's and thank God  she was just constipated..or at least that is what they said. We are still supposed to keep an eye out for any signs in the next couple of days...but for now she is TOTALLY fine.

While we were visiting Grandma Neenee our friends were also visiting family in the area so we met up for lunch....splash cafe of course. This is a picture of us at the beach and a picture of their kids Jeramy and Kennah which the girls have been friends with since preschool. We love these kids and their parents Steve and Jeanene....see that baby that's Alyvia I was there when she was born...very cool. I love her. Steve's Parents are also in the picture. It was a nice lunch

Ok so I am not so good on the updates....Things are busy around here. Makenna gets braces next week and has to start physical therapy on her back. She has two curves in her back that have to be adjusted. Plus christmas parties and christmas shopping........tis the season. Looking forward to the time spent with family. I can't wait to see everyone.
