An update after three months is a little awkward.  But I’ll do what I can.

Chris.  Dell.  Basketball.  Currently listening to rap music in the computer room.  Wants a new jeep.  We’re working on it.   He’s staying pretty busy at work, which is good, because that means he has survived round two of major layoffs in OKC.  We’re thankful but so sad for the friends he had to see let go.  It was so hard on him and everyone there.  We are praying and hoping our friends find great jobs and that their needs will be met during this time.

Gracie.  Finishing up Kindy, already!   My big girl!  She got her ears pierced for her birthday, and she’s starting to look more and more like a little girl every day.  Some days we really see a good glimpse of the teenage years though, I swear she is 6 going on 17 the way she rolls those eyes at me.   But she makes us proud.  She loves math (?) and is excelling in reading and writing.  She wrote her first book called “Jump Frog Jump” that was pretty precious.  Oh–and we’ve lost two teeth!  The tooth fairy has been busy! Currently she’s gearing up for the Kindergarten Musical called “At the Hop.”  We’re all excited to see her singing and dancing in a pink poodle skirt.

Trinity.  Wow.  What can I say about Tiny? She’s THREE!  How in the heck is that even possible?  She gets to go out to dinner with Ma and Da on Wednesday, her choice on the restaurant…and then her party is on Saturday. Yo Gabba Gabba theme, family, a couple friends, hot dogs and cupcakes.  It should be pretty fun.   She’s all about me right now, her favorite phrases are “I want my mommy” and “I love my mommy too much”  Honestly, I don’t mind being loved “too much” by that sweet baby.  She’s also pretty darned attached to the Gracie girl, and she’s been sleeping in Gracie’s (full size) bed with her at night.  It’s the most precious thing in the world to go in to wake them up in the morning and to see them cuddling one another.    I’m so happy I have two little girls!

Me.  Still cancer free!  I had a “suspicious” mole removed and it was NOTHING!  Yay!  Katie, my co teacher, says I have fairy hair.  It’s long and dark and super curly.  I like having fairy hair.  =)  And I am enjoying my new reconstructed boobs. It’s weird to think I went so long without anything there.  The more I look back on that time in my life, with chemo, body-disfiguring surgery, sunburned-feeling radiated skin, more surgery, ICU, recovery, the more I realize there was no way I did any of that without having God right along side me.

Okay, well, I’m sleepy.  Will this do for a little while?  I’ll add more pics when I get a chance.  The girls are changing so much every day, it’s hard to keep up.  I gave up scrapbooking, so maybe when I’m old and gray and I don’t have anything else to do I will take all my gazillion photos and start organizing again.  We’ll see.

Can you believe it? After three months of not posting anything exciting? I’m so sorry guys. Things have been nuts. But I promise I’ll be better in the future!

pI’m locked out of my blog so let’s see if this works. I have so much to say but I’m not sure you’ll be able to read it.#160; So if you can read it fine, then well, look for a post from me in the near future.#160; We have a big spring break coming up and I’d love to share it with you guys! /p pHopefully I will be talking to you all soon! /p

So I don’t wanna get all political but Inauguration Eve is cracking me up.  Oh the media.  Call it hype, call it spins, whatever, I still think there’s a reason to be excited so I’ll be watching with anticipation as the first black president is sworn into office to take over a job that I am NOT envious of.  I can’t imagine the pressure.  I hope that you all remember to pray for him on a daily basis, whether you like him or not.

I had surgery today.  This one was just to make the bigger one match the smaller one, but once Chris and I got into the pre-op room with Dr Bajaj, and she started marking me up and we decided to “nip/tuck” the other side a bit too.  So that was fun!  Now they’ll both be pretty.  And a little more perfect than they would have been.  Yay!

Okay enough boob talk. I’m going to post pictures soon, but somehow I can’t find the file where I uploaded the most recent ones.  Blame it on the Lortab or something, but I’m too tired to look for them.

Here.  I’ll leave you with this.  Even if you don’t like him, you’ll like this.
