Aquarium In TN 2011

Dear Mommys Little Fish

Aquarium In TN, I planned to just put this in the same post with the TN post, but I now see I need to do its own post since I have so many pictures, This was your 1st time at the Aquarium and you LOVED it. At first we kept you in your stroller bc sometime you get just a little to wild, but you wanted to get out and touch the glass so we let you out. You did good, held my hand or someones hand and did great. When we got to the area when you could pet the horse shoe crab you werent scared at all, you went right for it, like you wanted to hold it, but you were still to little to do some. Then mommy turned around and Daddy had you going under this thing so you could peak your head up and look at the fish, I never thought Daddy would get in the floor to do this, but he went right for it, daddy will do anything for you or anything that makes you happy. After that we then went to the Pingune are and mommy crawled through it with you so you could so see them. You had a BLAST while we were there and Im so glad.

Mimi's LAST chemo !!!

Dear Mimi's little boy,
I know Meme going through chemo is not something you will ever remember, you will probably never remember Meme without hair or anything that has to do with cancer. But Meme has her last chemo today in Maryland, she will have to contiune to go back to Maryland to be checked but will no longer come home sick and weak, she will come home the same way she went, and that is heathly and strong.

Meme cancer is a very rare cancer and it started a a tumor on the thimic glad about 4 or 5 years ago, they removed it here at KDMC and removed it liek open heart surgery, they also had to remove the lining of part of her lung. Everything seems fine after that until she started to have many problems again, she decied to finally go to the Mayo Clinic, she wasnt there long they knew what was wrong but told her a different place to go, what Meme has in so rare it isnt well known how to treat it. She has had to take some VERY STRONG doses of chemo, but last check all tumors were GONE !!

Before shaving her head, her hair was sooo thin

Head shaved, meme said it felt so much better

TN Trip

Dear Baby Boy,
Wow, We had a blast in TN, This was your second trip or 3rd if you want to count when you were in mommys belly. This time we stayed at Meme and Papaws condo, and it is AWESOME. We are on top of the Mountin, the resort is great, there is the indoor water park and then 2 outdoor pools, they are very nice also. You were alittle scared of the water park, I think due to all the noise and water, but you hung right on to mommy and daddy. We took you down many evenings to the outside pool and swam and you werent as scared.

We had many dinners out while we were there, and a few dinners in, We had a BIG breakfast fixed my all of our Aunts and Uncles and BOY OH BOY was it Yummy. After that we went to the Aquarium. (will do sperate post) We also went on a CRAZY LONG all day drive, we meant to go to a place called Cade's Cove and we ended up on the top of the mountin (the highest point) and it took forever to get up there and forever to get back down, then we drove another FOREVER to actually get to Cade's Cove, we went to see bears, in which we didnt end up seeing any, but we were in mid day they say you need to go early morning. Atleast we know where it is and will go again next time.
While we were in TN Aunt Sue, Uncle Jim, Aunt Nonie, Aunt Sue Sue, and Uncle Liele came down and stayed a few days and it was so much fun to see you get to enjoy their company. We had a blast.

Mothers Day

Mothers Day was GREAT

Easter

Dear Baby Bunny

What a GREAT Easter we had. Altho this was your second Easter, you were so little in your 1st Easter. You really enjoyed your stuff from the Easter Bunny, You got a nice basket and a chair for the back pourch. Once you opened your Easter Basket (which was early since you were wide awake when mommy got home) we then took showers and got ready for church. After church we came home for a little while and took a hr or so nap before heading to Meme's to eat and have an Easter Egg Hunt.

While we are away at work

Dear the little boy I miss so much while Im at work,

While we are away at work you are always so GREAT! You love your time with "Gugie" on Thursdays and Mamaw on Saturdays. You will be back staying with Meme on Fridays for sure before long. Just as soon as Meme is better! We are so blessed to have "Gugie", Mamaw, and Meme they all three LOVE to keep you and watch you just as much as you LOVE to be with them, and of course we can't forget Papaw on Saturday mornings, he is always her at 6:15 am for Daddy to head to work until Mommy gets home from work. We have an AWESOME family.

Thursday nights with "Gugie"- Many nights she bring "Little Red" and you LOVE to play with her, she is your big buddy, and some nights she brings Johnathan and you also love when he gets in the floor and plays cars with you. You love Gugie, and NEVER have had a hard time staying with her. Your very first night with her you cried for 2 sec, I was to the car when you stoped. Im so glad you enjoy staying with "Gugie" and much as mommy and daddy are happy to leave you with her.

Saturday morning with Papaw- Papaw comes EVERY Saturday morning to watch you until mommy can get home from work, and so far you have stayed asleep, altho your Papaw is very loud and Im sure soon if he doesnt learn to keep it quite you will be awake one morning when I come home. Altho NOT MUCH LONGER, and you will start going back to Meme's on Saturday morning or Friday nights since Meme is having her last chemo right now.

Saturday nights with Mamaw- Every night Mamaw walks throught the door with a McD's bag with you some french fries and her a large coke from Speedway and you know she will have it, first thing you do is reach for that pop or fries, and for some reason you dont sleep well when Mamaw is here, I dont know why or if you would just rather stay up and play with her and not sleep, but almost every morning when I come home you are awake.

Love always,
Mommy

Dear my smart little boy,
You amaze me sometimes in how smart you are, you are talking a lot lately. You say...
Veah (for Nevaeh)

And Im sure many other things, but at the moment I cant think of them. LOL

When mommy tells you to do something, you do it. Such as get your blanket, get your juice, get you passie, lets go bye bye, and bring me my phone. Those are all things you do alot during the day.

Love Always,
Mommy
