Granny Update

Granny is making progress. She is able to open her eyes when prompted and move her arms and legs when asked. They have slowly reduced the amount if oxygen coming through her ventilator and will aggressively take steps tomorrow to take her completely off the ventilator. Please continue to pray for her complete healing and strength for my parents.

Pray for Great Granny

Anne's Great Granny, my mom's mom, was in a car accident last night (01-22-2009) and is in ICU. She hasn't woken up yet, but her vital signs are good. Pray that the Lord would sustain my parents as they keep watch over Granny, that He would give wisdom to the doctors, and complete healing for Granny. I will keep you updated on her progress.

Winterfest 2009

Today at preschool Anne celebrated Winterfest. Since it rarely ever snows here in Texas they transform the gym at Anne's school into a winter wonderland and all the kids wear their pajamas that day. The kid's get to go ice fishing, throw snowballs (balled up white socks), go ice skating, and play in igloos. Scott was able to take the day off and come experience the snow too!

Anne Update

I thought I would put up a few recent pics of Anne. She loves wearing her daddy's hats and usually insist that everyone participate in hat wearing.
Last Saturday we went to the hospital for "Sibling Class." This was Anne's chance to see the delivery room, try out all the buttons on the hospital bed and get acquainted with the idea of a new baby sister. There was only one other child in her class so she was able to have lots of attention and "hands on training." They brought out baby dolls to practice holding and changing diapers. When the nurse asked Anne if she would like to see a real baby Anne declined, but we did eventually persuade her to have a look at the real thing. The nurse brought a baby into the viewing room and showed the kids her belly button, toes, and hands. Anne's only comment was, that baby is crying. Hopefully, she will feel a little more affection towards her sister, who by the way, still hasn't got a name. We are debating between Abigail Amanda or Margaret Amanda. I have put Scott in charge of choosing :) We are counting down the days (21 to be exact) to the baby's arrival.
Anne received a second hair cut from Papa on Sunday. It was getting a bit scraggly in the back. I think he did a great job! You can see the results in the picture below.

Christmas at Gran's and Grandpa Gary's

We had lots of fun this year in Conroe. Anne was able to see her grandparents, Uncle Mark, Aunt Ashley, and Beau, Grandma Regan, and Uncle John and Nancy. She revelled in all the attention and provided a lot of entertainment.

Anne's Preschool Christmas Party

Anne's preschool Christmas party was December 19th. It was fast and furious. The kids had cookies and juice boxes while the parents snapped pics. The party didn't last very long because most of the kids were tired and ready to go home. We exchange gifts with Anne's classmates and headed home for a nap.

New Camera

I can post again. We have been away for so long because I ran over the USB cord to our camera a while back with my office chair and haven't had a chance to get a new one, but this Christmas we bought a new camera complete with a new USB cord! YEA!
