Thanking God today for the BEST doctors at Mayo

Today we went to Mayo Clinic for Anna. She has been small and grows slowly. She has been checked so thoroughly from the Mayo Clinic Doctors today and well let's just say I have a normal, typical, developing child but just a little PEANUT!!
It is such a HUGE relief today! I am so HAPPY. We don't have to go back ever. The Doctors totally cleared her of having any speech/cognitive/endocrine and genetic issues. It was so awesome to hear the words from 2 Doctors I respect more than any other in this World. A huge weight has lifted from my chest today. I could be the most HAPPY mother today!
Thank you God for your blessings in this beautiful child.

my little, healthy, adorable peanut!

sister love..

Ella is 5 1/2 and Anna is 2 1/2.
Ella is in the "don't touch my stuff stage". So when they play together and look sweet it's so adorable. Those are the moments when I thank God for bringing my 2 girls together to be sisters. Ella really does try to be Anna's mommy. She talks to Anna in a high pitch voice and baby talks. It is pretty sweet. Anna will talk back to her too.
My girls are such blessings to me. They are my sunshine everyday. I really hope and pray in the future the girls are very close. :)


this is the moment that is all too sweet....

LOVE babies in cozy pajamas!

We had a great time at home with Isaac on his birthday.
He turned 12 years old and we had a cake for him at home. This Saturday he is having some boys over for a party. He wants to go bowling.
I bought Isaac the trick candles so when they lit back up everyone leaned in to blow them out, it was pretty cute!!! :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! There is so much to be Thankful for!
I am thankful for ALL my friends and family here in the USA all the way to Korea!
I am thankful for everyone's health.
We celebrated at Scott's parents house and my Mother's. We had lots to eat and a really great time. I always love getting together with my family. The kids get pretty loud and crazy but they all have a great time. We took some photos trying to get "A" photo for the Christmas card. But didn't get a "great" one. Why is it so hard for everyone to look at the camera and smile for about 15 seconds? HAHA! I think we took 100 photos.
It was so nice outside, I would love if the winter stayed this beautiful out. Scott's parents are heading to Florida this winter so we celebrated Christmas also. The kids were of course showered with tons of stuff from Nana and Papa.
OH and did I mention the food??!!! We had so much! I ate at least 3-4 different kinds of deserts! YIKES! I had a piece of apple pie, banana bread, pumpkin bar and pumpkin pie! Yikes 4!!! Also ham and turkey. The kids got their fill too!

Since we live further away from my family we don't get to see them often. It makes it hard for Anna. She really doesn't like going to their houses. She gets pretty scared and clings to me. She does open up some and plays but keeps an eye on me. I think part is her personality and some just because she doesn't see them like the other 2 kids did. She also was tired as she missed her nap.

All in all we had a great time and are stuffed!
Here are some photos....
