It's hard to believe but my once little baby is turning 6 in only a couple of days. I remember when she was born like it was yesterday. I get a little sad (no not a little, a lot) when I think about how big she is getting. And the most shocking part is that she is not even having a big birthday blow-out!!! I know your shocked right. For those of you that know me well know that we (and when I say "we" I mean "me") do birthdays up big around our house. Emma wants to take a couple of her girlfriends to Sweet and Sassy in Allan. So she wants to have a "girls only" party which means she is really growing up. I just hope she understands doing that means no big party which in turn means not a lot of presents. So this year is the first year that I have not already bought all kinds of party supplies and had homemade invitations (that Coco does an awesome job on). Emma has changed so much in the last year from starting kindergarten to learning how to read and
tying her own shoes....it's like now she doesn't need my help anymore. She is so independent and as much as I know that is a good thing it's hard. Stay tuned for more on b-day party.....
On a great note....Avery's surgery went wonderful. She had her surgery on Tuesday and was at home by Saturday. Her surgery took a while but we have a healthy baby girl now that is "fixed." I thought waiting during the surgery was going to be the worst part of this whole ordeal but I was wrong...it was seeing her in ICU that night after surgery. It was so heartbreaking and I had a hard time seeing her like that. She looked so bad hooked up to all those machines and wires and I felt so helpless like I couldn't do anything for her. Oh how I wished I could take her pain and discomfort away. BUT she is doing awesome now and is eating like crazy. Avery is growing, moving all around and going to be crawling before long. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and thoughts during these times.
