The Phamily Blog

As you may have noticed from the ticker above, my beautiful princess will be undergoing open heart surgery in less than a month.

Kele offered to make a button for my girl and I think it turned out precious. So, if you would like, please grab it and post it on your blog in the sidebar or where ever you like...

We could use any and all prayers!

Thanks again, Kele!

All I can do is laugh. We have actually had a decent two months with nothing more than the sniffles so I guess I can get over it, huh?

Monday evening Gabby and I were on our way to run some errands when she yonked in the car. I thought it was a little weird because she was a little more lethargic than she usually is but it was an isolated incident so I figured it was a fluke puke.

Tuesday was uneventful...no yonking to report of.

Wednesday Gabby yonked in the evening before bed and left me a little baffled since we had been to the doctor's office that day for both kids' well-child visits and vaccinations. Was it from that? That wouldn't explain the car episode on monday though. Hmmm...

Thursday at 2am Cameron has a yonk-fest all over MY bed. Luckily I wasn't in it because I can't sleep in a bed with kids (and that's a whole other post entirely!) So Nguyen had clean-up duty. It happened again at 3am :(

Cam has been sleeping on the couch for the last two hours and Gabby is napping in her crib. Cam has a slight fever of just under 102 so I am letting it rage a bit so we can kill those nasty germs. Check out my pitiful babies on Thursday morning.

Remember that post not too long ago about the T21 Traveling afghan? Well, we are on the waiting list and should be receiving the afghan shortly but Monica (John Michael's mom) had a custom T21 afghan made by Chandos, the mastermind behind the T21 traveling afghan project, just for Gabby. It was SO thoughtful and such a perfect gift.

I rented a bounce house because I was worried about keeping all of the kids entertained. I am glad I did...it served its purpose.

Most of the mommies and the babies stayed inside and chatted. Gabby had all of her favorite guys there to share her special day with her.

Sheridan was as cute as can be and loved Gabby's new mailbox. If he has a birthday bash, we know what to get him ;)

Joaquin and John Michael were also there. We attempted several group shots but they weren't in the mood for a photo shoot so this is as good as it gets...and I'd say it's pretty good!

She really had no idea what to do with it and ended up tasting very little of it. But it felt cool in her hands apparently.

Nguyen just walked by and asked me why it looks like there were five people at the party...eek! I guess I was feeling pretty comfortable with my camera in the cool house. But I promise there were lots of people taking full advantage of the pool, I just neglected to take pictures of them ;)

All in all it was a fun day and we are so happy we got to celebrate Gabby's first year with friends and family.

Look for a post sometime tomorrow about a very special gift from a fellow blogger. It's a gift that will be cherished by Gabby for many, many years, I am sure. ;)

First of all, Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful Mother's in my life...you are all amazing and very much appreciated.

My Montage 5/8/09

It's funny...I was just talking to Chrystal last night about how I was bummed that Little Miss was not yet sitting up. Coincidentally enough, after we got off the phone, Gabby did this...


It might look like she is propped up by pillows, but I assure you she is doing that 100% on her own. I was ecstatic! Granted, she usually topples over around the thirty-second mark, she IS sitting up and it will be no time before she no longer needs those pillows surrounding her ;)
