This hat was Chase's. It has quickly become a favorite for this little mini Chase. But how funny it is that he only wants to wear it while sitting in his car. Yeehaw!

Angel
So, as I lay Raughley down to sleep tonight, he looks up at me and folds his hands. I can't quite figure out what he means by this, until he keeps them together for some time, looking up at me quite expectantly. Then I realize; he wants to say his prayers. So we say our prayers and as I say "Amen" he blurbles out some form of the word, and my heart fills with something: pride, happiness, love, and I kiss him goodnight and leave knowing that I have done something good and right in this world.
Chase
Or "Daaaa" as Raughley calls him.
He's 27 now... officially after about 4 birthday parties.
The last one being at our house a while back.
Can you tell we like to party around here?
So another year is done, another trip around the sun,
We love you daaaaa,
Just remember, you're 27 now, not 28- we look forward to spending this year with you!

Peace
We just got back from our last surgical follow up appointment at Children's.
All is finally well with our little boy.
He can now run and play and be happy, not to have to worry about what he had been through in the last few weeks; hopefully never to really remember it all.
But I will remember. I will remember the faces of the little children at the hospital who are terminally ill, who have deformities, challenges and problems that they will face their whole lives.
And I will forever be grateful to a God who gave Chase and I a healthy
happy little boy with a bright future ahead of him.
Today I was grateful and thankful.
For the doctors and nurses,
The receptionists and volunteers,
For Chase.
And especially for sweet little Raughley, who is well.

Mom's Birthday Dinner
It's a lot to think about isn't it? Your mom having a birthday...
What to eat and drink at her party,
What kind of games to play,
What gift to bring,
but when it all comes together
what a great time there is to be had!
Now that's a better face William!
Happy Birthday to May May

Catching Up, and Coming Soon!
Some of these are about 3 weeks old, but I found them on my phone and thought I should post anyway.
Someone was not happy about Mem putting whipped cream on the birthday boy!
Until he got to taste the key lime pie!
Here's a shot of the sweet turtle that walks the bike path in Boca. Can you find him in the shadow?
Someone sweet getting ready for his surgery.
So Brave!
It's tough to see someone this small in a hospital gown.
But he perked up quickly!
Especially when he got to wear his new tool belt!
And coming soon.....
Stay tuned! (rough drafts, don't judge the craftsmanship!)
