The Fun Stuff: Casey is wrapping up her Cookie Sales.  She is the top seller in her troop.  She kind of has an unfair advantage though- there are a lot of people in her care circle that were all more than happy to buy cookies from Casey.  We are down to our last 5 boxes!  …

Casey’s lung seems to have opened back up after a round of antibiotics and some time on bipap.  She is still doing some crazy stuff and needing oxygen more than before, but we are not sure if it is really a sick thing or just her getting bigger and her body needing time to catch …

We did not finish 2014 quite as strong as we had hoped.  Shortly before Christmas Casey seemed to be coming down with a little cold.  She was having a lot of heart rate issues, breathing issues, thick sticky secretions and needed oxygen and pain medicine quite a bit.  On Christmas day she seemed to be …

Casey has had a pretty fun weekend so far; definitely a great start to her Christmas break.  Last night we went over to some friends for our monthly game night.  The kids drew names for Christmas presents and it was early enough in the day that we decided to take Casey with us.  Usually she …

Last weekend Casey had a really fun day.  She was working on her gingerbread house that she was really excited to do when some friends from the neighborhood stopped by.  She loves to hang out with all her girl friends.  They helped her decorate the house.  Casey had a great time.

Christmas is right around the corner and I feel like Halloween was just yesterday.  I used to be so on the ball with everything, ahead of schedule, I never missed a beat.  Lately I feel like I run and run all day long and never catch up.  Oh well, me and 99% of the country …

I don’t know where 2014 has gone, but Thanksgiving is just a day and half away.  I love turkey!  There is a commercial for a sandwich meat talking about how if you do this or that “you may be a turkitarian…”  I am pretty sure I am a turkitarian.  I think the only one I …

Casey had a GREAT day!!!  She woke up bright and early (3AM) and had a rough start.  Some tummy issues made us wonder if she was up for her deliveries today.  She calmed down and was ready to go right on time.  Her mermaid costume was a big hit everywhere she went. Casey is up …

We have always joked that Casey has been a diva since she arrived.  She has a way of getting everyone’s attention and making everyone fall in love with her.  She has even upstaged some big celebs. The hospital where Casey was born was known through out the Los Angeles area as one of the celebrity …

We LOVE Halloween and decided that this year we wanted to throw a little party.  The party was so much fun.  Casey had a blast.  Everyone wore costumes, and I have to say I was really impressed with how great all of our friends costumes were.  We had trophies for the best group, kid and …
