Finally!

This is my lil man before his hair cut! He looks so young and sweet and innocent. LOL. (yes, i finally plugged my printer in and found my camera...so picture overload tonight!)



This is Sebastian getting his first hair cut! I really wish i would have had my camera when Kenneh got hers, which was just in the fall....she was slow getting any hair at all,much less, enough to warrant paying for a hair cut! As you can see, he has no cover on him, bc he wanted nothing to do with it, even though it was covered with lil critters and cutesie kiddie things! He yanked that thing off and threw it to the floor. Phhbbbttt...that's what he thought about that thing! Doesn't he just look so well behaved and angelic? It's a farce. It isn't real, im telling you! But he was very good for his hair cut. She was amazed at how well he did! Quite frankly, so was i! He is playing with his hair....and as you can guess..he was covered in it by the time all was said and done!
This is Makenneh after her hair cut...she had to have her picture taken too! Dumb mom could have had the camera out while sissy was getting her hair cut, too! Sometimes,i really think my head is up my butt!
This is a pic of our new kitty, B-i-n-g-o, sleeping with Makenneh....He has already gotten bigger!
And this picture was just taken tonight. Unfortunately, the batteries were low and so i couldn't get the flash to work. But, she had put a dress on over her clothes tonight...then fell asleep. So, she is sleeping on the couch in her Christmas dress...she looks so sweet and angelic. Notice the theme in pics of Makenneh...she is sleeping. LOL. This is so when i look back, i see how absolutely divine she was and don't remember the mouthiness, the stubborness, etc...lol Ok, really it's because I can't get over how angelic she looks when she is sleeping. What a beauty!

And now,on to gloomier news....I may or may not have posted about my brothers rush to the doctors friday. IF i didn't, i will say it now, and if i already posted this, ignore me...lol.

He and sara were at Bob Evans for dinner. He got a sharp pain in his chest and then a numb/tingly senstation ran down his left (i think it was left) arm. His hand went numb. Well, for several weeks, he has been having horrendous headaches and he never used to get them. So, as soon as this happened, he freaked out and called the doctor. They told him to go ahead and finish his meal, as he was half-way through with it, but to get into the office right afterwards and not to be alone at all and not to drive. So, they finish up and get him to the doctor. They did immediate blood work, a scan and then set him up with an ultra sound and some other tests. Well, the doctor called him today and said, "get in here immediately." So, Sara couldn't leave because she didn't have anyone to relieve her and can't leave the clients alone, so he had to go by himself. He got there and the doctor told him his triglycerides were 710, insulin was through the roof, fat levels extremely high, etc. They took his blood pressure and it was like 167/97 or something to that extent...anyway, it was sky high. So, he ended up with 4 new prescriptions, bc they can't wait for him to go for a fasting blood work bc if left untreated, he will have either a stroke or heart attack. They have to get his numbers down immediately. So, the kid is 25 yrs old and is on 2 blood pressure pills, a pill for his sugar, one for cholesterol and nexium. He had asked the doctor something, don't remember what, but the doctor said, "well, it depends on how serious you are about this." Matt said, well, "i am 25 yrs old and have a baby on the way. I have a lot of life left to live. I am very serious about this." It just gives me chills to think about it. He has already started a diet and working out. He knows he has to make major life changes if he wants to have a life to live. It's just crazy to think that had he ignored those signs, he probably would end up with a heart attack or something. Sara said tonight when i was talking to her that she had been on him to go to doc about different things and he always puts it off...but for some reason, he went this time..i told her, he has guardian angels...Not everyone is lucky enough to notice signs and get it taken care of. Of course, mom is just a basket case. She is so worried. She has cried several times about this. I keep reminding her that he is under the care of the doctor, they are all on top of it and he has made the changes necessary to get better. He will be ok. And now I am going to ride Jeremy even moreso to get my vcr hooked up so i can start my exercising again. I had already begun to make eating changes but i will be more dilligent about it. But do keep Matt in your prayers that this gets better and that everything will be ok!

Update on the tornado in Alabama....My cousin finally talked to her cousin, Cammy and she is ok. She has some bumps and bruises, but nothing major. Of course, she had to mention that her car was ruined...but hey, you can always get by without a car until you can get a new one. The good thing is that she is ok when so many were not as fortunate!

I talked to mark and mis yesterday. They are doing good, although sleeping on the floor, of course, as they went down there with nothing really. They did have about 14 boxes shipped via ups the day before the left here. That stuff was expected to arrive today. They will then have a small tv to watch, dishes and some other stuff. Still no furniture though! I couldn't imagine sleeping on a floor for several days. Ugh! And not even having a couch or something to sit on during the day. But the weather is nice down there and they are doing good. Of course, the girls got some funny looks when they were going in the pool.....the ppl down there don't swim much this time of year, bc it's chilly to them. LOL.

Sara has an ultrasound in 3 days and they are hoping to find out the sex of the baby. Hopefully that works out for them. I know with makenneh, the first one i went for, she didn't cooperate at all. The only reason i got to find out was bc my amniotic fluids were on the low side of normal, so they wanted to recheck them....that meant another ultrasound. That's when we found out we were having a girl. But sp;eaking of them and finding out the sex of the baby...get this. When Matt told his best friend, Rod that they were expecting...a short time after that, Rod calls to tell matt that he and his wife were gonna try. SO, she is now pregnant and they were discussing names. Well, Matt has had Kaden Maize (yep, he is a die hard Michigan football fan) picked out for a boy since forever. ANd Rod has known this. when matt asked rod if they had any names picked out, he says, Kaden (however he chooses to spell it) for a boy! Can you believe that? It's just insane. So, matt is a bit upset, bc if they have a girl and rod has a boy....he won't get to use his name. That's just so silly. I dare say that if i were matt, i would use the name anyway. LOL. But, maybe matt and sara will be having a boy this time and there will no need to worry...they will get to use the name they have had picked out since before she even got pregnant!

Well,i guess that's a wrap for tonight..im sure this is plenty long enough, huh?!

I hope your brother continues with his goal of changing his life. You too, since it may run in the family. It is good he under a doctor's care. They can watch him and treat him as needed that way.

My Dad had a quadruple bypass about 4 or 5 years ago. He changed his life around and he is still going strong at 70 years old.

Aw, Sebastian is looking more like a little boy, even before the hair cut. :) They both look very nice after their hair cuts. Your kitty was so tiny!

Children always look angelic when they are behaving. Especially when they are sleeping. :)

Man Christina, that is crazy about Matt. Tell him that I said Hi and that I am praying for him and his new family!!! I can't believe that Rodney is doing that-what a jerk! When did he get married? Anyway, I hope that things start to go better for him and thanks for sharing the pictures of the kids. I love seeing new pictures of them. I am going to the store this week and buying envelopes to send out the kids newest pictures so you can expect them soon! Talk to you later!
