Christmas Dance

Madelyn had her Christmas Dance Recital yesterday. She did a really good job! All the girls were toy soldiers or dolls. She kept trying to smile the whole time without ruining her lipgloss. She is such a girl!

Afterwards we went to the River Walk, took a boat ride to see Christmas lights and learn about the history. It was a fun evening!
We hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

The Latest.........

We've ALL been waiting and wondering what is going on with Isaac and his career?
Well...............we are STILL waiting-I feel so helpless. I feel so hopeless at this point.

Today we found out that the waiver WILL NOT be approved. They would like to do another MRI follow up in 3 months. I PRAY with all my heart that things will clear up on it's own. I guess Texas is our home for a while, a long while.

Heavenly Father is looking out for us. I guess I may not fully understand what he has in store for us and our future? I am just grateful to have extra time to spend with my BEST FRIEND.

UPDATE

Don't get to excited................we STILL are not sure what is happening with Isaac.
Last week was the MRI
Today was the doctor visit to get results: the medial rectal muscle in his eye is STILL inflamed, BUT it's smaller so they think more time and it will be gone.
Since this week is THANKSGIVING week, a lot of people are out of the office, so there is NO chance the waiver will go through. So on to next week.............

His options: (if waiver gets approved)

*will get him a class in Phoenix as soon as possible
*will start class here in San Antonio next September
~The problem is that he may have to wait until 2010 to get into a class because they are behind. let's hope someone drops out so he can take their slot!
~he will still have to get another follow up MRI

If waiver does not get approved:

*he will have to go fly another aircraft-most likely a UAV
*get another job with the Airforce

On another note:

*Brynlee pooped in the potty and has peed her pants several times.
*Madelyn sings Mama Mia soundtrack ALL day and MOST nights. She is VERY loud and cute.
*Nic got ear infections in both ears after a spout of Bronchitis. All is well now......I HOPE

Hope EVERYONE has a really yummy and happy THANKSGIVING

A glimpse back in time......

Before you were conceived I wanted you.

Before you were born I loved you.

Before you were here an hour I would die for you.

This is the miracle of life!

One thing about having a baby, is that each step of the way, you simply cannot imagine loving them any more than you already do, because you are bursting with love, loving as much as you are humanly capable of, and then you do; you love them even more.

XOXOXO
