Chris & I......

took Brianna & Gabi to Tannehill today. It was a gorgeous day! The girls' hiked trails, stopped for a treat at the Sweet Shop, played on the playground, talked to the ducks, saw a snake, etc. We spent 3 hours there then went out to an early dinner. Good day, much needed.

HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY KAYLA......

Wow. I blinked & at 6:46 p.m. my daughter will officially be fifteen. Time to get her permit & next year her drivers license.

I don't even want to think about it. Have a great day Kayla. Make the most of this year and the years to come.

XOXOXO

I have never.....

had the desire to have anything other than my earlobes pierced. I'll pass on the cartilage, the nose, the belly button, the eyebrows, the tongue, & all the other parts I can't mention here. Kayla wanted her cartilage pierced for her birthday so we went to Claire's. The pics say it all. She had a teddy bear in her lap but it didn't seem to help much. :-) She didn't cry, I think she expected it to hurt more than it did, she is sore today though.

Kayla's 15th Birthday Dinner

Our family & friends got together last night to celebrate Kayla's 15th Birthday! As you can see we had a good time. I think Haley started the icing fight by putting it on the birthday girl & it went from there. Thanks to everyone that made it, it helped make Kayla's night that much better. After dinner we went to the Galleria, then Kayla & two of her friends went to the movies.

Baby K Update....

His Mother sent me a message this afternoon & he CAN see. :-) Thank you GOD! Please pray that the family continues to receive nothing but good news.

Kayla....

had to be checked out today; headache, stomach ache, vomiting, etc. Pray she gets better soon & that the rest of us dodge the bullet.

Happy....

St. Patrick's Day everyone. I made sure Kayla & Gabi wore green to school today. Gabi remembered Julien pinching her last year for not wearing green. :-)

Past & Future

I received these two emails recently........

1. "God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED. To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be".

2. There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore... and who always will. So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

VERY WELL PUT!!!

Baby K

I got to see Baby K Sunday night. It's still just wait and see. He was awake & sucking his paci like it was the best thing ever invented. Please continue to pray for him & his family!

Where's Paige?

On the right....I talked to my good friend Paige aka "Little Girl" Sunday evening. She moved to Savannah about 2 years ago to escape the craziness of Cullman, AL & to attend school. I have to make a trip out there; WHY? to see Paige of course. Oh & to see the lighthouse, to go to Paula Dean's restaurant, & to try these Chocolate Martini's she keeps raving about. Gabi & I miss her.

One year ago....

this week Kayla & I were in Europe. Wow, how time flies.

Mrs. Miroff's next group trip is to Australia next summer for 18 days. Needless to say, we will not be joining her for that one. Very tempting but very much out of my reach. Another reason for going to college to obtain a degree, better job, more money, etc.

Mrs. Miroff is also going to China this summer for 3 weeks. She was one of 15 teachers chosen to take the trip. She is amazing & has been able to take some awesome trips all over the world.

I'm on....

Spring Break! I have not been able to say that for 18 years!

I'm watching my nephew today & working on papers for school. Yeah!!!

Sunday...

The WHOLE family is scheduled to have pictures made at Botanical Gardens Sunday. Last time I checked we have a 70% chance of rain & I'm not sure what the back up plan is. Anyway, anyone who tackles our family together or separately needs prayers. :-) There are 17 of us going.

Pray that Kim still has her sanity at the end of the photo shoot. Check out her website http://sharitphotos.com/ & book a shoot with her, tell her Jenn sent you.

Jenn & Addie...

Most of you that view my blog have already been to Jenn's; but just in case you haven't seen it yet, Jenn and Addie were on Wake Up Alabama VERY early yesterday morning. Click on The Henderson's or go to www.babyhenderson.blogspot.com and watch the video.

Any chance my sister gets to spread the word about her Miracle Baby she does. Great job Jenn. And great job Addie!!!

School...

I have class Saturday morning and next week is Spring Break, which is very much needed. The girls' isn't until the week of April 13th, don't tell them but we are going out of town. :-)

I have plenty to keep me busy. An English paper, a Biology research paper, & a critique assignment in Art. Fun, fun.

Gabi & Addie

Gabi has strep AGAIN. She's on another antibiotic & has to see an ENT to schedule a date to have her tonsils and adenoids removed.

Addie's surgery has already been scheduled.

We'll keep everyone up to date.

Baby K

Baby K was moved out of ICU into the Special Care Unit. They are still waiting on the swelling in his brain to go down so they can send in the Retina Specialist.

His Mom sent me a text message this morning that said he was trying to smile, she said I guess he heard his Mom & Dad are getting married. :-)

Please continue to pray for Baby K and his family.

Update on Baby K......

His Mom said the MRI results showed he has extensive injury to both sides of the brain. That he will not be able to see, walk, or talk ever.

Please, please, please pray for Baby K & his family!

What kind of MONSTER...

would hurt a 4 month old baby? I have a friend whose baby is in ICU at Children's with a bleed on his brain from blunt force trauma & as a result is having seizures. His liver is bruised & he also has external bruising. They suspect it happened at a place we thought our children would be safe while we were at work. Please PRAY for Baby K that he has a speedy recovery & pray for his family!

Isn't she beautiful? Make sure you get a copy. Spread the word!

Snow on Sunday

From tornadoes on Friday to snow on Sunday, only in the Heart of Dixie! Here's a few pics, Gabi had fun while it lasted.
