More pics from Gabe's Birthday

Gabe Turns 4!!

Ok..so we had a party for him at our house on December 6th and here I am on December 22nd posting pics! I am horrible! At least I am doing it..right? I have had so many things going on and projects that I have been working on for people. It is a good thing! :)
I should be wrapping christmas presents right now but I am procrastinating, can't you tell! :)
Well, Gabe had a blast at his birthday party! He was so excited! He is still talking about it. His Poppa got the spacewalk for him that day and he was so thrilled about that! He told me that this was the "best birthday ever"! I just can't believe how fast time has gone and how big he is now! He is such a ball of sunshine! He has his moments but for the most part he is always trying to make someone smile or laugh. He has a cute personality! I just love him so! He is so thoughtful, caring and loving! He always hugs me and tells me he loves me. He does the same to Ellie, Daddy and Victoria. :) My little man!
Well...I will continue adding some pictures from his party...sit back and enjoy! :)

Our Family Pictures!

Hello to all! Here are some pictures I wanted to share. We had these taken over the weekend. My sister Rachel was going to try to come and take them but she couldn't get off of work. I asked a friend of mine that works at Sam's in the photo department and she said yes! She met us at a Park nearby and took the photos for us. I love taking pictures of people but it seems I am never in the them and I wanted a good family picture of all of us this year! I have my Christmas cards ready now with our "NEW" Family picture on it! I am so excited! It doesn't take much to make me happy! I am hoping to get one of these on Canvas from the website: www.canvasondemand.com
I love that site! Check it out sometime! Great Stuff

We got to see Victoria during the Thanksgiving day break and she stayed here for a couple days. It was so nice having her here! Ellie and Gabe really missed her. She was a big help while Max was here. I know she is going to be a great Big sister again! I can't believe how big she is getting. She is going to be 13 in July and she already fits my shoes and some of my clothes! Where is the time going?

My little Ellie has been complaining for almost 2 years of leg pain in her left leg. I kept bringing her to the doctor and they kept saying it was just growing pains. Finally he refereed us to Children's to a specialist. They did xrays and also a CAT Scan and they found something called "Osteoid Osteoma". It is a benine tumor. That was 3 months ago. We went yesterday for the 3 month check-up and they took more x-rays. The Dr. said that it has not changed. He also said that most cases the tumor creates bone around it and he doesn't see that. He said that there is a chance it could be something called a "Nutrient Vessel". I still have to do some research on that. He sent us for some blood work and we have to wait 3 days for the results. The pain she is having wakes her up in the middle of the night and she screams. The Dr. said that the pain is compaired to a tooth ache but in her leg of course. The only thing that helps her is Motrin. We give that too her almost every night. I am just glad it is has not grown and she is ok. I know things could be a lot worse.
I will keep everyone posted. Just continue to keep her in your prayers!

Love to all,
Lizzy
