Urgent prayer request....pass this along please!

I don't know how many readers I have, but this one is too close to home not to pass on: Please pray for Hannah R, who is a 5th grader at Abby's school.

Quote from a teacher at the school:
.."She was unresponsive this morning when they tried to wake her so she was rushed to the hospital. At the hospital, they found a large mass on her brain which paralyzed one side of her body. She also had surgery today to stop bleeding on her brain, and they found multiple clots. Things aren't looking very well at all."

Update as of 8:45 pm:
.."Found 2 blood clots that they are worrying about spreading so they are giving her blood thinner...If they spread to the other side of brain then she could be paralyzed on the other side of her body. There is still a mass."

Christmas memories...

This was her reaction to the Snuggie! Thanks Nanny!!

She loves her Aunt CC!



And the craziness ensued!

Can you say "HAPPY"!?!

Our yearly pic that is a must! (I almost look like the cream in the middle of an Oreo!)

Her own alarm clock! She was so excited!

She has wanted an eyemask for a long time......it doesn't get any better than Hello Kitty.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!

Brunch!

I decided that I wanted Abby to have all her "loveys" here at the same time, so I invited the grandparents and great grandmothers over for brunch. My mom had to work so we were minus 1 person.

I took pictures of the food......but between photo sessions, we had to change batteries. SO, apparently we lost pics of that. The menu was:

• Mini bacon cheddar frittatas
• Sausage balls
• Beef dip
• Buffalo chicken dip
• Grapes & cantaloupe
• Cheesecake bites
• Brownie bites
• White chocolate dipped pretzel rods
• Spiced pecans

Abby was sick (fever, icky nose) yesterday, so I was thankful that she felt "great" (to quote her) so that everyone could come and hang out and chat.

Before & After (minus the before!)

We re-did Abby's room - but I failed to take before pics. It was a purple-pink wall color with a really girly floral quilt. She wanted a "big girl" room, so here it is!

I found this hook/shelf thing @ Hobby Lobby for around $6! Love that place!!!

The zebra print ribbon that her letters are hanging from is another Hobby Lobby find.

New pic...

...cuz people are getting mad at me for not updating!

Go Dawgs (even though you let those Wildcats beat ya)!

Is my daughter (& her teacher!) a smart-alec?

Okay, so what you might not be able to make out (because apparently pencil doesn't scan very well) - is the fact that Abby wrote "I do not no" for her assignment. #1 - she knows the difference between know and no, but she was probably having a diva moment on this day. #2 - she is such a little twit! Sheesh - at least Mrs. Leonard has a sense of humor!

It's about time, right?!

My little pilgrim!
