Tonsils

Kadrey got her tonsils out this morning. The surgery went really well (yah), and she is recovering pretty ok. She hates the taste of her pain med. and is very hungry (put it hurts too much to eat) but is "normal".

Her "cheer and dance" performance was cancelled this weekend because of the stupid rain. The lady in charged called me yesterday to tell me that they were having a "make-up" performance tomorrow. Kadrey cant go (because she just had surgery) so she has to miss out after all of her practicing.

Jax had a fun end of season T-ball game (yah, its over). He actually blasted the ball pretty good (that's what Dan told me since I was busy helping someone else on the team) he was very proud of his self.

oh life! somedays...

So, we have been taking Kadrey to the Doctors a lot lately. We are trying to get her annual winter night cough (that has now turned into an all day everyday cough) under control. She has been placed on lots of meds and she has breathing treatments - she has also had an x-ray done and blood drawn. It was decided today that her tonsils and adenoids need to come out ASAP. So next wednesday is the exciting day. 8 days away, should I be worried? Tonsillectomys are a very common thing - so no worries right? I gotta say I have been trying to be ok with this but am I?! I dont know. She also has "allergy induced asmia", getting to tonsils out should make a big improvement (not fix the problems totally but that is ok).

Kadrey is in the Washington Terrace "Cheer and Dance" camp. She has been practicing a lot and she gets to do her performance on Saturday. Dan says that I am competitive but I am not I just like her to try her best and I get really mad when I feel I she is not - that is not competitive.

Jaxon has his last T-ball game tomorrow. I am so glad. Helping 4-6 year old try and play T-ball and understand the concept of the game is really not that fun, and really little kids dont understand the concept of hurrying. But he had a lot of fun and really now that they are starting to understand it all its kind of sad that its about over.

Lindseys (my sister-in-law) parents have been so sweet. They bought our little Kourtney a bench - it is made of stone and is Noahs Arc, with a rainbow and animals and arcs for the feet of the bench. We took it up to the cemetery and put it right by Kourtys tree. We just love it. Thanks again Hunna and Linda we love you guys and are so grateful for you and all you have done for us.

Hi!!!! A poem for Kourtney

So, I know it has been forever since I have updated anything. My computer was having some problems and in the end to fix it they had to "clean-it off" totally. So I have not taken the time to sit down and figure out how to get my pictures back on to a program (I am sure that is not difficult at all, but I have been lazy I guess).

My friend wrote this beautiful poem (i guess you call it a poem - even though it does not rhyme).
I just wanted to take a second and share it with you guys - It is so lovely

The Master calls
to a precious daughter
Come home to me
your work is done
Your spirit was strong
when you body was weak
You touched so many
with your sweet spirit
You taught those around you
to love with all their heart
Treasure what matters the most
for this time is short
Reach inside themselves to find
more strength than they know
Service without a thought
willing to lend a helping hand
The precious daughter answers
I want to come but I can not leave them alone
The master smiles and answers
Sweet child they will not be alone
come home to me
We will watch over them together
