Hmmm…what to say?

An update after three months is a little awkward.  But I’ll do what I can.

Chris.  Dell.  Basketball.  Currently listening to rap music in the computer room.  Wants a new jeep.  We’re working on it.   He’s staying pretty busy at work, which is good, because that means he has survived round two of major layoffs in OKC.  We’re thankful but so sad for the friends he had to see let go.  It was so hard on him and everyone there.  We are praying and hoping our friends find great jobs and that their needs will be met during this time.

Gracie.  Finishing up Kindy, already!   My big girl!  She got her ears pierced for her birthday, and she’s starting to look more and more like a little girl every day.  Some days we really see a good glimpse of the teenage years though, I swear she is 6 going on 17 the way she rolls those eyes at me.   But she makes us proud.  She loves math (?) and is excelling in reading and writing.  She wrote her first book called “Jump Frog Jump” that was pretty precious.  Oh–and we’ve lost two teeth!  The tooth fairy has been busy! Currently she’s gearing up for the Kindergarten Musical called “At the Hop.”  We’re all excited to see her singing and dancing in a pink poodle skirt.

Trinity.  Wow.  What can I say about Tiny? She’s THREE!  How in the heck is that even possible?  She gets to go out to dinner with Ma and Da on Wednesday, her choice on the restaurant…and then her party is on Saturday. Yo Gabba Gabba theme, family, a couple friends, hot dogs and cupcakes.  It should be pretty fun.   She’s all about me right now, her favorite phrases are “I want my mommy” and “I love my mommy too much”  Honestly, I don’t mind being loved “too much” by that sweet baby.  She’s also pretty darned attached to the Gracie girl, and she’s been sleeping in Gracie’s (full size) bed with her at night.  It’s the most precious thing in the world to go in to wake them up in the morning and to see them cuddling one another.    I’m so happy I have two little girls!

Me.  Still cancer free!  I had a “suspicious” mole removed and it was NOTHING!  Yay!  Katie, my co teacher, says I have fairy hair.  It’s long and dark and super curly.  I like having fairy hair.  =)  And I am enjoying my new reconstructed boobs. It’s weird to think I went so long without anything there.  The more I look back on that time in my life, with chemo, body-disfiguring surgery, sunburned-feeling radiated skin, more surgery, ICU, recovery, the more I realize there was no way I did any of that without having God right along side me.

Okay, well, I’m sleepy.  Will this do for a little while?  I’ll add more pics when I get a chance.  The girls are changing so much every day, it’s hard to keep up.  I gave up scrapbooking, so maybe when I’m old and gray and I don’t have anything else to do I will take all my gazillion photos and start organizing again.  We’ll see.
