Chris Update!

I thought I would do a quick update on my husband Chris.

For those of you who don't know the saga click here and here.

Chris went for his first follow up MRI on Wednesday. This was his first MRI since having his radiation treatments. We will get the results and meet with his radiosurgeon on September 30th. I can't help but get a lump in my throat thinking about it. Last year when we thought we were going in for a routine follow up we had bad news and Chris had to have his second brain surgery. This time I know will be different since he had radiation to stop the tumor from growing larger again. It still scares me a bit because we know that nasty little mean tumor is still there invading his brain. We just have to keep it from growing.

So please say a prayer for Chris that the radiation has done it's job!

And as Forest says...that's all I have to say about that.

The loves of my life...

Let's Talk Pictures

As you know I have been failing in the picture taking department. Most of the reason why is because my subject matter doesn't know how to stay still anymore. I kid you not I have a billion pictures of the top of Sophia's head or shots of her bum as she quickly turns and crawls the other way.

Ahem for example...

Plus she is starting to act like an angry celebrity any time the camera is out.

However through the midst of her angst and speedy crawling I have caught a few gems. Gone are the days of posy posy pictures. Now I take what I can get.

They may include pictures of her eating her toy dolphin.
Cries of suffering would have been heard across the land if i dare try and take it away from her.

I will try and be sneakier in my picture taking. It is a tough challenge but I am up for it! I may look into getting a spy camera. I will hide behind my couch and wear a hat and sunglasses. She will never know. I am after all the MAMARAZZI!

Fun With Tracie

I just dropped off my good friend Tracie at the airport. She arrived on Thursday and we have had non stop fun! I'm a little tired out from all the fun we have had. We shopped till we dropped. Ate till we popped. And laughed till we cried.

The crazy part? I never took any pictures, not one. It's a little weird and so unlike me. Suddenly I fail in the picture taking department. Sadly I have no pictures of our awesome weekend. I can however show you a picture of what Tracie surprised me with...

It's Burberry Brit perfume. I had been lusting after this perfume. I would never have bought it for myself because most of what I spend my money on is all for Sophia. I am not complaining. I love shopping for Sophia. But this was a crazy, awesome happy surprise to receive. Thanks again Tracie you are such a doll!! I smell so good!

Speaking of dolls Tracie also surprised Sophia with a little treat!

Meet Dottie...

Sophia adores her and has little conversations with her. She is also Sophia's new roomie and they love to nap together. My friend Tracie has red hair so Sophia had to have a doll with red hair too!

This morning we went on one last shopping spree. I found this great little shoe store for kids. Sophia has outgrown all her shoes sadly. The store was so fun because they treated Sophia like a little adult. They measured her feet. She is a size 3. They also informed me that she has narrow feet (which I already knew). They made her try on the shoes and we "walked" around the store. Oh it was all just too cute for words really.

Here are little miss' new shoes...

I actually didn't buy shoes that are pink. Are you proud? They look so cute on her. I love them!

Why Do I Find These Soooo Funny?

I obviously have issues but I find these LOL cat pictures so darn hilarious. I think I may throw one in every once and a while just because they crack me up. My sister Sara will hate these. For some reason that makes it funnier to me. Sorry Sara be prepared...

Am I the only one cracking up?

Checking In

Hello all my dear blog friends and family.

Just wanted to let you know all is well in our household. I'm just taking a bit of a blogging break.

Sophia and I are enjoying our uneventful days. Tomorrow we are going to a place called Urban Treehouse with my church mommy friends. Now that Sophia crawls and gets around I am excited to take her. It's a place where moms can have coffee/gab and the babies can crawl and explore on all the fun, safe toys! Later in the day my friend Tracie from Vancouver is arriving to stay a few days. She is the friend who named me "Becks". Looking forward to chilling out with her!

Speaking of Becks. I just saw the movie trailer for 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' while watching the new 90210. (cringe yes I watched it...sorry Jen!) Anyways I loved all those books. Becky Bloomwood here I come. Also I saw 'The House Bunny' the other night with my girlfriends and had the best laughs. I don't know if it was just what I needed that night but I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. We sneaked candy in from the gas station and felt like we were 15...love those kinda nights!!

I have been horrible with taking pictures lately. I don't know what has gotten in to me.
