Catch up!

Hi friends and family! Sorry for the long blog drought!! Kyla is feeling great a month after surgery and has recovered very well. She is such a trooper!! We are hoping her overall general health is much better. She has missed 18 days of school this school year!

Easter was a few days after surgery and so below are some pictures of our family celebration.

Big Family news to follow: Neely and I have accepted teaching contracts for Plainview, Tx ISD. Neely told the church today and has requested to stay at Faith until middle to end of July. We are sad to leave Wichita Falls and our awesome friends. Nine years and many celebrations and trials!!!! We have made lifelong friendships here. Wow! Hard to say goodbye.

Thought I would leave you all with some pictures on this Mother's Day '09 too. Love to all.

home from surgery

hi friends--

We are home from tonsil and adnoid surgery. Kyla did well and is home in bed recovering. Pretty excited about her milkshake. She had a bit of a hard recovery at first, lots of pain, but after a couple of popcicles and about an hour later she seemed to do better. The ride home was adventurous... not for the weak stomach people. Blood, throwup, and hard time breathing a couple of times. Much better now though! Love you all and thankful for your prayers on our behalf...

March Madness

Hey friends and fam! Glad to say Kyla is much better! Thanks for all the prayer! The appointment with the ENT was short and bittersweet. He recommends tonsils and adnoids out. We set the surgery up for April 10th. Too much infection and very large tonsils and adnoids!

On a lighter note, March brings much excitement. We are entertaining "Flat Justin" for about a week and he is participating in our March activities. See picture below... Kyla performed in the first grade PTA program, A Little Bit of Texas, and was a star!!! We went to a cabin in Broken Bow, Oklahoma for a family reunion this past weekend and had a blast with Neely's parents, siblings, and the girls' favorites... the cousins!!!! We had a great time! This week is Spring Break. Today Riley and Reece came over for a picnic and then the girls went to play at the church while Neely and I went to Faith Mission and worked on some projects there with our small group class from church. It was great and much work was completed. More later... we are having Laura's 3rd birthday this Friday and Memaw, Pa, and Aunt Clarissa are coming in Tuesday or Wed.

Love you all-

sick girlie

Hi friends and family. We need your prayers. Hoping I am writing this late enough in the sickness that I can report soon that she is much better, but for the mean time... Kyla came home from school on Tuesday, March 3, with fever and has had a sore throat and fever every day since. Today, March 7, she went fever free for about 4 hrs and now it is back again. She is weak and has a hard time swallowing. Went to the pedi wed. and he called Friday and said the strep culture came back negative. She is taking Penicillin and has been for about 14-16 days. Pedi put her on that when he treated her for strep about 2 1/2 weeks ago. She really has not been completely "sickness" free since the beginning of December. She gets better for a couple of weeks and then sick again... We have an appointment with an ENT specialist at Cook Children's Hospital for a consult on Tuesday, March 10. Love you all, thanks for the prayers even now...
