Welcome Girls!

Sorry the pictures are so small, but you can see how sweet my two new godchildren are! I can't wait to spoil them and hug them, and watch them grow! I just hope they are more well behaved as teenagers then their mother and I were! Sweet dreams Sophie Grace and Jasmin Andrea. Please keep them in your prayers that they will grow to be big and strong and they will know the love and power of our God!

How To Grow Tomatoes

First, you grab the tray of plants that you started with seeds.

Next, you dig a hole.

Then, you water the plants.

Grab a drink after all of your hard work !

Finally, shower yourself and all of the blog readers!

Just Call Him "Chunky McQueen"

"Drivers, Start Your Engines!"

Cutting those corners kinda close

Getting the hang of it!

Look out! Woman driver on the loose. Good thing they have seatbelts!

Hanging out with Dad on a Friday afternoon at the track!

Today, we had to take Chunky to get a recheck at Riley. After fighting almost a hour of stupid traffic over construction (five guys standing on the side of the road, 4 of them smoking), we made it to his appointment just in time. Like, with one minute to spare. Everything looks good and then we were off to the track! We are trying to link visiting the dentist with fun things so he won't grow up to be a big weenie at the dentist like his mother is :(. So, we found the track, in the middle of the Indy ghetto and had ourselves a fun evening. I was slightly nervous about letting Chunky drive by himself. The height requirement is 43" and he is 42", but they let him go and he was so proud of himself and his highly skilled driving. We had both tracks to ourselves due to being in the middle of a work day which probably was safer for everyone. We finished the day off by eating at Joe's outside on the lake. It was the perfect day and now my belly is full, Chunky is sleeping and all is right with the world. We shall see what tomorrow brings!

Riley Rocks!

Off to the O.R.

The wagon ride to the car!

Last Wednesday was Chunky's surgery. I know this post is a little late, but I wanted to make sure I documented it for him. I sooooo wish we lived closer to Riley Hospital. They took every precaution to make sure that this was a good experience. When you enter the hospital, you get one of these neat red wagons. All of the waiting rooms have awesome toys to play with like fisher price houses, race car tracks, and aquariums. When they took him to get his vital signs, they gave him a toy to take home, while in the surgery holding area, they have a huge set of cool videos to watch. They lent him a game boy that he was able to take into surgery and had a huge closet of toys to play with while waiting. They make sure to clean all of the toys between patients. The nurses were awesome, kind, and patient. They gave him some "sleepy" medicine, which helped transition him to surgery and waited until he was asleep to give him his IV. They also kept us informed while waiting, through our cell phones so we could go eat. The worst part of the whole experience was trying to take his temp under his arm. (He thought it was going to be a shot???) Overall, everything was awesome...minimal pain and crying and he is no longer scared of the dentist. Again, I say Riley Rocks!
