Bringing in the New Year!

{in Pull-ups!}

Here we are again and no update on Jack, but I promise Ill get to it soon. So much going on with our little guy. We've had many appts, tests ect... Jack started to pee blood earlier this week so we're still trying to figure that all out. We stayed in tonight, keeping a close eye on Jack. His temp rose to 100.6, 101 wins him a trip to the ER--thankfully he hasn't gotten any warmer! But I quickly wanted to take a moment to add some pics of Christmas before I head to bed tonight.

We celebrated at Jeff's sisters in the morning and

then headed to my side of the family in the afternoon.

Our annual Christmas photo of the kids :)

and boy are they growing up!

BUT sometimes getting family pics of your kids look much more like this! :)

You gotta love them.

Our sweet Logan and Senna.

With my niece's  :)

 

Theres always time for "tickle time" with Daddy!

 

Logan, you're getting too handsome my man!

He turned 12 on the 10th :)

 

Jack thrilled with more gift cards and cash!

 

I even added one of me...I promise I was NOT drunk here! :)

 

Senna trying on Jacks new hat, being silly as usual :)

(no she's not drunk either!)

A lot of this all day!

 

Senna getting on Jacks bad side!

All tired out.

Easton and Grandpa, looking good Dad! So happy you're back to your ol' self,

praying your cancer scan coming up is all clear!

 

AND I was not drunk here either! As a joke my Mom gave all us girls

GRANNY panties! So we stuffed ourselves and had some fun with it!

The guy in the middle is Skyler, my niece's boyfriend, he wore a pair too!

 

And this year we had a new member of the family! My sister, Jody and her girls

show Afghan Hounds and this is their new little girl "Mocha" She is beautiful!

The little Yorkie is my brothers dog.

 

Senna meets Mocha.

 

and our little MYA also wishing you a Happy New Year!

Thank you for all the love, prayers and support you've given me

and my family in 2011. Praying 2012 brings you many blessings,

peace and good health...

 

and a special prayer to all the amazing Mito families

that are missing their babies right now, and the little warriors

that continue their battle tonight (((♥)))

you're never far from my mind.

PRAYING we get closer to a CURE in 2012!

not a creature was stirring. . .

{seriously Jack?}

You never know what you'll find under the tree.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I just realized that this is the first post Ive got here in December. I have several updates on Jack but have been so busy with Birthdays and the many Dr. Appts we've had lately, I just haven't found the the energy to sit down and write something. So much on my mind.

Here Ive been up all night as usual wrapping and packing to go up to my parents for a few days, and I fell asleep waiting for Jack to go down. I woke up frantic, not knowing the time or how long I slept! so worried it was already morning and it would be the first year ever our kids would wake up to empty stockings! whew, it was only 4:30 am, and I just slept an hour. I don't know why I always say things will be different next year and I'm back to staying up all night again on Christmas eve.

Just wanted to take a moment to wish

all my friends here a Happy Holiday!

Wishing you PEACE, LOVE, HEALTH and HAPPINESS

this Christmas and throughout the New Year.

I also wanted to put in extra prayers for my friends that wont be spending Christmas with their angel babies this morning. Too many of our mito kiddos have lost their battle this year and my heart continues to ache for their families.

AND many more prayers for the little ones this morning that are inpatient or on hospice, that continue their own battle with this cruel and unforgiving disease. Your family is NEVER far from my mind. I say so many prayers for you each day.

Thanks for all your love, prayers and support for Jack and our family.

 I appreciate your many kind thoughts over the year.

 

And now for a real classic :)

Yep that's me, the chunky blonde kiddo with the very short bangs.
