Catch up!!!

Here is a Catch Up Post!!!!

Sorry It has taken me so long!!!

I so appreciate the messages making sure that we are all okay!!!!

Well, first Lyla's Birthday Party was Wonderful!!!  She wouldn't eat her cupcake so we pureed it for her!!!  She sure seemed to LOVE it!!!!

That beautiful hand made card came all the way from Switzerland!!!  Yes, our girl sure is LOVED all over the world!!!!

Then the next day was her cath.  She wasn't feeling so well when she woke up from anesthesia.  Look at Uncle Mike just LOVE her!!!!

Lyla just wasn't getting back to her self after her cath.  On the third day I called her Pediatrician and he put her on an antibiotic - she was better in 12 hours.  SO GRATEFUL!!!!  Our little Bean got better each day!!

Sara has been up to her normal antics.  Playing "baby" with Gavin is so much fun for her!  She is so lucky Gavin is such a great sport about it.

Reading to the baby!

Dressing the baby up like a Princess!!!  Poor Gavin!!!

We had a beautiful day last week and we went to the playground!  Belle is changing so much!!!  She sure is something special!!!

Gavin needs to work on his poker face, don't you think?  Pretty obvious he is about to do something "naughty".  Oh my he is HANDSOME!!!!

SG drives me crazy on a daily basis.  Last night she was playing "hair dresser" and put a very generous amount of vase line in her hair.  Have you ever had the pleasure of washing Vaseline out of hair???  Well, it DOESN'T WASH OUT!!!   Oh this girl has a busy imagination!!!  The problem with her imagination is it is usually very very MESSY!!!!

AWE!!!  Gavin was driving Miss. Belle!!!

Lyla took her chance at the wheel.  As you can see Belle was a tad bit concerned.

Sweet Owen is still just Sweet Owen!!!

My sister (Annie Hef) left last week :(   We miss her so much!!!!

Lyla is still full of smiles!!!

Thanksgiving was Wonderful!!!  So Wonderful I forgot to take pictures - UGH!!!  A First Turkey Day for Gav and Lyla Bean.  Big Things happened at dinner on Thanksgiving, Lyla ate Sweet Potato and Mashed Potato's from a spoon!!!  YAY!!!  GO BEAN!!!  Bellie ate all her mashed potato's her self with a spoon!!!!!  GO BUG!!!!  Gavin ate half the 17 lb turkey!!!  GO CHEN!!!!!  Owen didn't eat a thing at dinner because he snacked all day.  GO OWIE!!!!  And Sara talked all through dinner about herself!!  GO SG!!!!!  GOOD TIMES!!!  The big kids spent Thanksgiving with their Dad & Sarah - they too had a Wonderful Time!!!

How about those eyes???

Now we wait to hear from Lyla's Cardiologist on Thursday to find out if the other physicians are willing to operate!!!  PLEASE PRAY THAT THEY WILL!!!!!

Thank you!!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
