2013 and looking ahead

losing cinnamon was painful to us... life has changed, at least for myself, my perspective on life has shifted.  to get back into posting on the blog seems so difficult.

we received many wonderful stuff from Grandma for christmas.  many of the gifts were handmade.  they were exquisite little gifts and the kids are so lucky to have a all these handmade gifts.  

 

"Thanks, Grandma.  I love the Chuggington coloring book!

Grandma actually made Christian and Alex Chuggington and Yo Gabba Gabba! pillow cases.  The kids drag them everywhere, wherever they go.

 Grandma also made Alex her favorite Dora top and shorts.  She refused to take them off - even for a diaper change.   

Christian is 3 years and 10 months old
Alexandra is 1 year and 9 months old.

went to see cinnamon last evening.  she seems to be doing well.  2 tubes coming out of her - the drain and a drip.  she'll stay in the hospital for a little while longer, which is a good thing, she needs the rest.  her open wound is a little disturbing but the vet assistant told me she'll get better.  nurses and caregivers are just such wonderful people - they are so assuring when your nerves and worry are infiltrating your sanity. still, i'm weepy from the visit. 

random stuff

cinnamon's so nonchalant, she didn't care if she was squishing her pig, either that or that she's too old and needed the pig to prop up her chin...

my herbs are thriving and my son's enjoying the new balcony. mission accomplished.

eric's still suffering from jet lag.
