The Chicago Trip

Our Chicago Trip... Of course for surgery you silly people... Does one ACTUALLY go to Chicago for some other reason other than surgery or 8 hour long waits to see a neurosurgeon?

~2/8 Ronald McDonald House

My sweet Lindsay telling Hannah (age 6.5) a bedtime story because she does it EVERY NIGHT!

Pouting because I am pissed that my mother is making me go to sleep on this GOD AWFUL sleep number bed. Seriously.... sleep number beds are like torture devices straight from the pits of hell!

~2/9 12:15am THE 1 year anniversary. This could have been a really horrible day. Thanks God it was not.

~2/10 Getting Ready to head to Comer.

The braids to keep the hair away from Dr. Frim's Clippers

The amount of hair deemed acceptable by LINDSAY that could be removed for surgery.

Still my Sweet girl

The shunt that they removed from her head. From LEFT to Right: The anti-siphoning valve (the white part) and the C0dm@n Hikam Programmable Valve (clear parts)

The damage done to her hair.

Special Treasures...

A gift from Darren on our wedding day. It held 1 red rose.

My Classic Pooh Honey Pot that my Aunt Paula sent me. I Classic Pooh.

A Precious Moments that my Gramma and Aunt Zorrinea bought me for the birth of the twins. It is "Be Fruitful and Multiply".

Ugh!

I am sorry that I have not posted. We have had a busy week. Stomach Flu then I lost my camera battery charger... Today is a new day and I will upload pics tomorrow. However I thought I would share a few pics from Disney on Ice.

We were very fortunate to be given 6 comp tickets through the RMH in Chicago. I figured that we would be in the nose-bleed section. Boy was I wrong. We were in the FRONT ROW!!! Right at the corner where the characters would come and "hang out". It was spectacular!!!

Terrific Thursday

Today is the Twins 8th Birthday. I have had a lot of fun taking pics of about everything. Angie and Kristin...THANK YOU for getting me to do this! You ladies are awesome! The Theme was "yellow" and I did take some yellow pics, but I had to share more pics of the kids.

One of Gabe's gifts...


A Soda Spinner made by one of our friends in KY.

Another Soda Spinner...
This never leaves Hannah's hands...well unless I threaten to throw it away. She loves play-doh...

Of course a picture does not capture the smell. These sugar cookie smencils are amazing!

Hannah's favorite book...(not)

The Twins turn E-I-G-H-T!

Lindsay...

Gabe...

Oh so very sad. She was told No that she could not have a bow.

I am a miracle...

In her own words, "I am so pale Mommy I could be a Cullen" (not quite dear...Thank you very much!)

A bird could perch on those pouty lips...

Lindsay wanted a scarf like Miss Angela
