Visiting Mamaw



Mamaw had a stroke just after Christmas.
After being in the hospital for a few days, they were just going to send her home because the doctor couldn't confirm a stroke.
He went ahead and did an MRI and confirmed it.
So she became eligable for rehab.

We got to go see her twice.
Tim's schedule and having sick kids, made it hard to go see her more, though we really would have liked to have gone.

Mamaw loves getting hugs from Joel.



And she LOVED holding LaRue.

I'm not sure she even noticed that Kendra was still holding her the whole time.



She had so much fun chatting with and singing with the kids.




And she still has a sense of humor.

She kept sticking her teeth out at Vannan to see her make faces.
Mamaw is such fun.

Vannan's Favorites for Christmas



Tinkerbell Video
(she also got a Pirates of the Carabean At World's End)



New House slippers to keep her feet warm...
And she also got a great pair of barn boots with polka dots on them.



This is her #1 favorite.
A locket with Grammy and Papa's pictures.
Tim's mom did this up for her.



Aunt Rhoda made her some "happy thoughts" salve
It help keeps her calmer.
One of her asthma/allergy meds keeps her in an agitated state ... and she says it really helps.

Joel Loves Christmas



Wall-E DVD



Blanket Jammies



A whole stack of learning toys. Mostly identical to each other ... everyone had the same thought on what Joel would like ... and they were all right ... just how can one 4 year old boy play with 4 basically the same toys? LOL



Blanket and Pillow for the car.
He puts the pillow around his neck for every single car ride
- in case we have another "ak-sid-ent"
- so his neck will be soft.

Time for Medicine - Jan 8







Actually, the faces were probably from all the pictures I was taking of her - flash daze.
But makes a great photo series.

We should be getting an appointment with the nurologist soon.
We are not aware of any new seizures since we brought her home.
We just have to wait and see how she does the next 2 years.
She giggles and coos, makes funny faces, and has figured out how to make her bouncer/rocker chair to rock.
She can roll herself over from her back to tummy but only to the right, I've never seen her roll left, but probably because she sleeps on the left side of me and snacks are to her right. Incentive there.

She is getting to be so big. Gotta weigh her today.

She LOVES people.
She smiles and giggles - a LOT.

Unless she is tired and hungry.

Sleeps through the night ... well, except for the snacking, but she's asleep.
I just come awake far enough to position us, and I'm back asleep too.
Love co-sleeping.
Besides, as cold as it is at night here, it's the only way I'm sure she stays warm.

Sounds like a pretty normal 3 month old baby, doesn't she?

I'm looking forward to seeing if she keeps that red in her hair.
Kendra's hair had red like that too, but far less noticable.
It's so funny to listen to people disagree on whether she actually has red in her hair or not.

Vannan has taken to calling her bacon bits.
Because she is such a ham.

Kendra makes up names ... like Laruable.

Joel showers her with hugs and kisses and watches over her - like a hawk.

My Dad ...



Dad's been trying to get a really good picture of himself.



Marriana gets into a lot of them with him ... after all, he is responsible for her.
She is grandchild number 18... I think.
Her babysister, Melinda, is 24.

As far as I know, there is not a 25 coming yet.




I don't think you could get a much better Dad than we have.
