One of my favorite guys!

It is a rainy afternoon ~ a good day to curl up with a cup of hot tea and a good book and act like a slug. But first I had to take one of my favorite guys to the dentist and out to lunch. He picked Red Lobster...he has good taste! I enjoyed getting one on one time with him. We rarely get that and so what if he had to miss some school for it to happen? Wow! I just realized the next time he has to go to the dentist, he'll be able to drive himself there!

Spring Break

We had our first Spring Break this week ~ we'll have another one the week of Easter. Z had Driver's Ed. so I didn't get to sleep in. As a matter of fact, we had to be up earlier since the school he was taking it at was 25 minutes away. His high school is 5 minutes away. This was the classroom portion ~ he will do the driving portion in June. E and I spent a lot of the week trying to stimulate the economy. Last Saturday we went to Kennesaw. The phone man's brother is getting married and E is going to be a junior bridesmaid, so went to David's Bridal and then shopping at Town Center. She made out really good. I came home with nothing. Then Wednesday we went to the mall in our town and I got her a few more things. Last year she could wear kid's size 8. Now she is in size 12 or an adult extra small in tee shirts. She is so excited that she can now wear Hollister!


I spent some time this week sewing too. E's Easter dress is black and white. C is wearing a black and white striped polo and Z is wearing a solid black polo. I couldn't find a dress I liked, so I took this














And made this.

Sad

Sad...I am very sad. My niece took my great nephew to the doctor on Monday and they told her they will probably have to remove one of his kidneys. Right after he was born, he got very, very sick and his kidneys started shutting down. One of his kidneys (and I honestly can't remember which one right now) was severly damaged and they thought he was going to lose it then. Later, they said it was functioning at 17% and as long as it was at least 12%, they would leave it in. Now, the doctors are saying it doesn't look like it is growing, so they most likely have to remove it. They will do a scan in early June and if it is decided that it needs to be removed, they will do when he turns one in August. I am just heartbroken over this...I am sad for Savannah, Mike, Addison, and Connor. I am just sad.

Family

I have spent the better part of my week loving on these two ~ my great niece and great nephew. They live in Florida and were here for a visit. My great nephew was very sick right after he was born and we weren't sure if he was going to make it. So, loving on him these past couple of days was soooo sweet!
