My Brave Girl

It was a long day at Seattle Children's Hospital, so happy we did not have stay the night and so grateful that we have such an amazing hospital in our area.

waiting before the procedure . . . lookin CUTE!

Coloring with our friend Ali - she joined us because daddy could not get the day off of work.

getting all gowned up, she was a brave girl

thinking the red socks were pretty cool.

Naomi woke up very, very, very SAD from the procedure.  Hospital protocol is no parents until the child is out of recovery (about an hour after)  Well they called me back because Naomi was so upset.  I could not get to her fast enough.  Oh my was my heart breaking for her.

She is all smiles again.  They wanted her to stay on her side for several hours. Try keeping Naomi in any one position for more than 2 seconds.  Ha Ha!!! We gave up on that idea pretty quick.

 Starting to get crazy silly

Pardon the Kai Lan panties

 
Gone CRAZY!!!

Naomi spent some time with the camera (trying to occupy her)  She took this of Ali and I.  You see Ali is an amazing friend in so many ways but yesterday she took a day off of work and spent it with us in the hospital.  True friend I tell you.

Nurse Princess . . . no joke her name is Princess (she told us)  Good name for a great nurse in a hospital for kids.

I think Naomi all in all enjoyed her day of getting just about everything she wanted with lots and lots of attention.  Love my girl.  

Tomorrow is Referral anniversary.  YIPPEE!!!

Prayers Please

Tomorrow I hand my baby over to her doctor and walk away.  Yikes I don't like the walking away part. I don't want my baby to feel scared.

Naomi is having a procedure tomorrow if all goes as planned we will be home by evening.

But of course this mamma worries

My biggest concern is her feeling abandoned yet again.

She has a hard time with doctors even if it is just looking at her.  She still talks about the "mean guy" the one that does her blood draws.

Please pray for my sweet girl and her doctors and maybe me too, I just might need it.

By the way I got this cute little twirly getup from http://www.ruffledfeatherscompany.blogspot.com/ go check her stuff out it is super cute.

Corn on the Cobb

There won't be any for this kid

In our house the tooth fairy usually bring one buck.  How bout your house???

This mamma is lovin the new smile

Wondering - it is a good thing

Every-time, not just once and a while but every-time, I cut my girls toe nails  

I wonder who's feet and toenails she has.

Are they her China mommies or her China daddies????

part of the reason I wonder is because both my boys so clearly have their daddies feet.

My girl will probably wonder lots of things about her China mommy and China daddy.

For now she seems pretty happy with Pink sparkly toes. 

 and for me I am still so happy to have little toes to paint even if half the paint comes off before they are dry because my little girl can't sit still for more than 2 seconds.

A Bit of Sunshine

We had just a couple of days of  sunshine . . . and it felt GOOD!!!

The kids got to play in the fountain

Lots of laughs for many hours

 But now we are back to RAIN . . . YUCK!!!

Please Please Please.  I really WANT a summer around here.

I am grateful for the sun we had but I might go crazy with these kids and the rain.

BLAH!!!

This weather is killing me . . . YUCK!!!  

Rain, Rain, Rain

We live in the Pacific NW and  I can count on one hand the sunny days we have had this summer.

I NEED some sun                     

PLEASE!!!!

I got NOTHING exciting to post  . . . so  I leave you with my cute little pup 

Duke before his hair cut kind of muttly but adorable. 

After . . . it will take a bit of getting used to

Camping

We have been busy.  Busy fishing, walking, hanging with friends and relaxing.  Our neighbors took us to their favorite camping spot for a long weekend.  IT WAS GORGEOUS!!! '

I forgot my camera.  So disappointing because it was truly a little slice of heaven.

The only way to this island is by personal boat.  There were moments when we were the only people on the island.

We are off again this weekend for a shorter camping trip with some great friends.  We are so blessed with lots of great people in our lives.
