CASSIDY WAS NOT TO BE LEFT OUT!

Image
Before surgery So...Cassidy had to steal Scott's surgery thunder. After a lifetime of strep throat the doctor told us " those tonsils are beasts and HAVE to come out:. Less than a week later , Cass was on the operating table. She handled the first 2 days just great. She ate McDonald's and pretty much anything she wanted. She was saying " this is so easy". Then a week into it, it all changed. She was crying and hurting and so sad. I could tell she was exhausted ( only sleeping 2 hours at a time so she could take pain meds) and feeling pain, and alone. It was breaking my heart. She was pitiful honestly. Well 17 days later she is out on a date and doing fine. She lost 12 lbs and is almost too skinny. Hope that she puts a couple pounds back on. I am glad she is feeling back to her silly. crazy , random self . I missed her! I just hope we can go a while without anyone being in the hospital!

SCOTT NEEDED SOME ATTENTION TOO

What a Christmas Eve...I am at work and I get a call from Scott " I am in the ER and I need to have my appendix out". I rush over to the hospital and there he is, in bed in pain. I instantly felt like he was 5 years old. It made me almost cry. I wanted to take over, and take care of him. I had to step back and let his wife be a wife. She did a GREAT job! She was so sweet to him and stayed with him. It was hard to hand over his care to someone else but I love Jen and I know she loves Scott. He survived and was home on Christmas Day..a little drugged but still there. Merry Christmas to us !

LITTLE GIRLS GROW UP AND BECOME BRIDES

My little girl (ok she is almost 22 but still) is ENGAGED! December 8, 2011 my soon to be son in law, Josh got down on one knee and made my daughter cry. Taylor and Josh have been together for 3 years. they are a great fit. I would never have picked him for her, which goes to show you that mom does NOT always know best. Taylor is a bright, articulate , amazing person. She makes smart choices and knows what she wants. The two of them adore each other and respect each other and I am so happy for her. It is a strange feeling to know that she will move away and have her own family. It makes ms sad and it makes me happy. I could not love her more.
