I got bored one day and decided to paint Quinn's room purple because she said she didn't want it pink anymore. Hey, I needed a project to do so I was happy to do it.
Wesley and Quinn have started Jukado. They are so cute. Wesley tries so hard he almost falls over sometimes.
Here is some video of Rayna playing in the snow. She's so funny. She just romps through it and love to just stick her face in it.
Here are some pics of Rayna too.
Yeah, she's a horse now. She ate my brand new dining room table. But look at that face. How can you stay mad for long?
Sean's mom has finished her chemo and radiation. She did so well with it all the doctors said she should be a poster child for it. The tumor has decreased a lot in size and she will be making an appointment for surgery in Boston soon. Then she will be in rehab and after that the docs say she should feel great. We are all very proud of how well she's done. Here is a pic of her grandbabies.
Oh yeah! I forgot about Christmas. Has it really been that long? Well, I was a bad mom and didn't take any pictures at our house Christmas morning. We just spent time with the five of us and it was so nice and calm. The kids took their time opening everything and really enjoyed seeing what everyone got. It was so nice. Then Sean's brother and his family came over with Maryann and we opened more presents and had dinner. It was nice to all spend time together. They all played Guitar Hero with the band. Quinn was on the drums and Sean and Brian were on the guitar. Collin was singing "On the Road Again" with everyone else. I have video, but it's not pretty ;0) and I think Collin would be forever mad at me if I put it on here. I will have to get a signed permission form before I do.
New Years was uneventful. I think I made it to 11:00pm. I've never been overly impressed with New Years anyway and my body is much happier with sleep. And if we were to let the kids stay up that late, they still get up at the same time in the morning and then they are crabby the rest of the day so to me the trade off isn't worth it.
Well, I can't think of anything else right now. The kids are all doing great and Collin is in the play again this year. He doesn't have many lines but is on the stage most of the time. I'm sure he'll be find ways to be funny just standing there. Quinn has three front teeth missing now but the two front ones are starting to pop through. Wesley got in trouble on the bus for hitting some kid. Sigh. I'm sure it was just a tap but he got the third degree from me about it. He also says he has three girlfriends now. Geez. I can't keep up.
Hugs to you all and keep all those kiddos in transplant in your prayers. Alicia has been in the hospital for around 220 days now.
