Just thought I would update everyone on how my Aunt was doing. She is now in Spectrum Health - Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids (again.) She was taken down after her appointment on Thursday in Greenville, the doctor wanted her admitted ASAP so that she could start getting IV antibiotics. They did a debreedment on her left foot and removed three toes yesterday! So now we wait and see how she heals and then hopefully it will go well and we can bring her home soon!!! So now she is down to having only 2 toes left but, they say that she has good circulation in those 2 (so cross your fingers and pray hard for her!)

As for us we are all doing well...it's been a pretty slow week Thank goodness. (for a change!) Just the normal stuff like work and well a couple of appointments but, not a lot of running around. I start softball practice tomorrow so that should be interesting since I haven't played since a year after high school :) Hope all is well with everyone else.

Happy Easter!

It's definitely been a trying week! On Monday of this week my Grandma passed away and it was totally unexpected. Don't get me wrong she was 84 and had some health issues but, for the most part she was pretty healthy. That was probably one of the hardest things I've had to witness in my life.! We have pushed on and made it thru the planning, the services, and daily we are dealing with the change of her being out of our lives. She has lived at my parents house for almost 6 years now so since I go over there a few times a week that also meant seeing her as well and now that she's not there it's definitely different. Thank you to all who came, called, and sent flowers. You don't know how much your gestures of kindness are appreciated at this time!

As for today....EASTER! Janae had lots of fun and she enjoyed her Easter. We went to Breakfast with my parents, then we went to visit Aunt Marcia in Ionia, and from there we went to Easter dinner at Aunt Tracy's house in Shepherd. We had lots of fun and Janae really enjoyed the dogs!! She got lots of candy and fun toys to play with. Thank you to everyone...hope you all enjoyed your Easter!

Grand Rapids Childrens Museum

We went to the Childrens Museum and had a great time. Played with lots of toys and did lots of running around. They have Bob The Builder there right now and that brought in a lot of people. It was the busiest that I have ever seen it there. Janae enjoyed herself though as you will see in these pictures!

In these pictures you can see Janae playing with the Bubbles, which was her favorite! Also playing and sorting the balls, looking thru a mirror tube with me looking thru the other end, her playing in Wendy's Caravan, driving Bob's truck Benny "Unreal Banana Peel" that's what Benny says. She was also brushing her hair with the toothbrush from the Dental exhibit that was downstairs. We had a lot of fun and we will definitely go back. We are also planning a trip to see the Butterflies at Fred Meijer Gardens!! We can't wait...

Well, these last couple of weeks have been pretty busy. We've had Uncle Corey's birthday party. We went to the Children's Museum in Grand Rapids and played and we've went and visited Aunt Marcia a few times. Not to mention of course work and the normal everyday stuff.
Aunt Marcia goes to Butterworth on Monday to be admitted for her angiogram to check the blood flow to her foot. We will then see is she has to have more surgery and have it removed. We kind of know deep down that she will have but, we are also trying to be positive at the same time.
Well, off to get ready to go to the vet. Have to take Harley for his shots. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. XOXO

*~*Sledding 2008*~*

These are some pictures of Janae's first and second time sledding!! The very first weekend in February 2008...we had Fun, Janae NOT SO MUCH! She's kind of like her mommy can't tolerate a lot of cold.
Here's a picture of Janae and her Papa....she just LOVES her papa. She even talks to him on the phone almost every day if she don't get to go over and see him.

Happy Leap Day!

Well, today being February 29th it's a day that won't happen again for another 4 years so enjoy it while you can!
Not a whole lot new here on the home front. Aunt Marcia is still in Rehab but, she had an appointment yesterday to have part of her staples out and the doctor says that she is healing up well...YaY! As soon as all the staples are out then they will put on a stump shrinker and then on with the prosthesis. So all is moving forward slowly but, surely!!
As for Janae she is learning more and more words everyday. She can definitely say a lot now. She also has quite the attitude, I don't really know where she gets that from (insert evil laugh here!) She's tons of fun though we wouldn't trade her for the world!!

Sesame Street Live!

Janae's First Reaction when she saw her favorites on stage!! Just in AWE of them.

"Look guys do you see how cool this is!"

Ok so since I kind of know what I'm doing a little on here (at least for today!) I thought I would post a couple pictures of Janae at the Sesame Street Live show that we went to in the beginning of December. It was so cool and she had so much fun, we all enjoyed it and we will definitely do it again sometime real soon.
