Summer Coming To An End...

So...summer is coming to and end and I have not blogged about anything! WOW I guess we have been busy? (maybe) A lot has been going on and Savannah has changed so much! She is getting bigger, smarter, she is almost walking and started talking! We took a trip to VA, Williamsburg for a little vacation and a wedding! Here's a taste of whats to come in photo's over the summer of 09!

Savannah likes lemons! P.s.- Don't you just love her little mo-hawk?

So I have been MIA...for a little. It has been an interesting week. Saturday I went to lunch with a friend who is in Tampa from California...we went to lunch and then got Savannah's ears pierced (will post a picture as soon as I can get one of her not moving her head lol) Monday- she invited us to come watch one of her husbands baseball games and we had a nice time. It was good to get out of the apt. and although I love Savannah it was nice to have a nite out. Tuesday- I went to the game again with Alicia I have been keep my nights busy this week lol. It was a great time and afterward we went out to dinner it was so nice to laugh insanly at silly things. 

Micah Needs Our Prayers!

I am sadden to say that Micah a very adorable 6 month old little guy was diagnosed with nueroblastoma after he had the mass removed from his lung on Monday. They are unsure about the stage of cancer he is in. Lets pray that it is stage one and has not spread or gone to his bones. I just do not understand how it is at all fair that these little babies be stricken with such an awful diseases or anything wrong with them at all. This is the same thing Cora had but she was in stage 4 which is the worst stage I am pretty sure. I want to believe that everything happens for a reason I just have trouble with understanding this and why it happens. I think I am struggling alot this week since reading about Cora and now Micah. I would not have a clue as to how to handle or what to do is something this like should happen to Savannah. I can not imagine what these families are going through. Lets hope for better results for this little guy he deserves to live a full, fun and healthy life.

Cora!

I am at work and am sitting here with tears in my eyes. Last week I stumbled upon a woman's blog in Kansas through my baby board. I was reading her latest blog and noticed that it had said her 11 month old daughter had passed away and I saw the pictures and did not understand she looked perfectly perfect! So I went through page by page and read what had happened to her precious little girl Cora. She had suffered several ear infections and at a follow up dr. apt to her ear infections they found out she possibly had cancer. She had a mass on her liver which was removed and found out she had neuroblastoma...they started chemo right away and just two weeks after her diagnoses she passed away. My heart breaks for a couple I do not even know. I can not imagine the pain of losing a child and when you have one of your own it hits more close to home. I am so inspired by the love they have for the Lord and their faith. Something so hard losing their baby girl and they are not at all mad with God as to why he chose there sweet baby girl to bring home. It is so hard to think that it is at all fair for any child to pass away so young...but knowing that the Lord has a plan for all of us and there is meaning behind all of them. 

I know Jess and Joel would much rather have there sweet little Cora here on earth enjoying everyday with them. But just from reading the blog's you have seen how Cora's sweet short life has made others grow closer to their own faith. As well as myself, making me re-think my own faith in a way I have not in a long time. 

I am sadden to say I love Savannah with all my heart but there are times I have gotten very frustrated with being a mom and doing this on my own and now since I have read Cora's story I have taken a step back to look and be thankful that she is healthy, happy, and a wonderful baby that I have been blessed to raise! I am praying and asking you to, to pray for this family as no one deserves to lose a child. That the pain is somewhat healed in their hearts and they can not move on but continue on each day remembering their sweet baby Cora and the change she has brought to thousands of people's life. 

Here is the link to her blog if you would like to read their story.

YAY!

Yes thats right I finished my paper and it is only 12:00! I thought for sure I would be up till at least 2 or 3. Let me tell you it was not fun at all it was about The French Empire Style of Architecture and Furniture. I do have to say it was hard to pull out 4 pages I do not bullshi** well. Besides that my back hurts from moving the furniture around. But I did go to TARGET and got these awesome shelves I am going to hang over my desk with picture frames on them. I will have to get someone over to hang them for me and when I do I will post pictures of how awesome they look. Next on my list is new couches at IKEA or maybe just slip covers for the ones I have because well they were not only free (Thanks Ash) but they are super comfy 98% of the time I fall asleep out here and never move to my bed! Even though I live in apt it is my home and I want it to start looking more like one. I have so many ideas and I wish I could do all of them at once. Also while I was at Target today I bought scrap book stuff for Savannahs first book that I have yet to start but I will now! YAY Pictures will follow...as you know. 

I need to find some good antique stores or flea markets. I am looking for an old chest for Savannah and her growing toy collection but I want it to be a piece that she can keep forever. 

Ok- I should set an alarm and go to sleep or study for the two tests that I have tomorrow. Hmm...! Goodnite!

My Banana!

She is so lovely...and cute! Here are some recent pictures I have gotten of her. 

After-noon Lunch!

I am here again at work all alone today. Devra is still sick and no one is answering their phones to come into work. I love my job...but I have food on the brain. And I have no idea what to eat. Salad maybe hmm....I just can never make up my mind about what I want to eat around here I am sick of the same old stuff they sell. UGH Help me..
