Christmas Review

Here are some photos of our Christmas vacay to SC! We all had a wonderful time.



Here are some videos too...

Talking to Paw Paw.
This was soooo cute. They talked for at least 10 minutes saying the same thing over and over..."ah-da".

Rodeo Boo!
Boo's Aunt P crocheted him this adorable cowboy hat (boots too) and here he is riding PawPaw bull.

Boo enjoying some of his gifts at Granny and Grandpa's house.
He also learned to clap in SC!

We're Alive

Hi All!
It's been a long time since I've been able to blog. We've been so busy in SC and BeBe's computer is just about the S-L-O-W-E-S-T thing I've ever used (sorry BeBe...but you know it's true!). I just couldn't find the time to blog or even check email regularly.

But, we're back in Fayetteville now and are in the process of unpacking...

We had a great time in SC and Boo's first Christmas was perfect. I'd also like to report that my Dad is doing really well.

I'll try to get some photos up soon of all of our fun.

I'm just sorry that we weren't able to visit everyone while we were home.

Hugs to you all! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Arrived

Just a quick update. We arrived on time yesterday afternoon. We had 2 flights to endure. The first was a little rough with Boo crying for about 30 minutes before succumbing to sleep. Luckily, the plane was pretty empty and I just moved to the back. The second flight was FULL!! And Boo was GREAT! Luckily, it's only a 40 minute flight from Charlotte to Charleston.

My Dad seems to be doing really well. He looks great and says he feels good since they cleared up the congestive heart failure. He says that if he didn't know there was something wrong with him, he wouldn't know there was something wrong with him. Does that make sense? But still, he realizes the danger and risk he's at, so he will go ahead with the procedure on Friday.

Thanks for all of your prayers.

To South Carolina

Well, Lil Boo and I will be flying to SC today. With my Dad's heart condition, I just couldn't stay here and wait until our planned trip to SC later this month. He saw the cardiologist and another doctor who deals with the pacemakers and defibrillators last week and both said that he is at great risk for cardiac arrest and really needs both the pacemaker because he has left bundle branch block and the defibrillator if he should go into cardiac arrest.

My immediate thought was DO IT TODAY (and that was on Tuesday)! Well, they couldn't because he's on a blood thinner and he has to be off of that for several days before having surgery and they also wanted to do a heart cath to make sure he didn't have a blockage too. Thankfully, that turned out well. So, he's having surgery Friday for the pacer/defibrillator. With all of these developments, B and I decided that the best thing for me to do was go home. So, G and I are all packed and ready to go. We'll be leaving mid afternoon today. I'll keep you all posted. B and the pups will join us after B's term is over.

Prayers for my Dad please.

Drum Line

Boo was playing with these drums and it was so cute...of course it was! Anyway, he would tap on the top of the drum and when the music would start, he'd hold on to the table and dance. When the music stopped, so did he until we tapped on the drums to start it again. It really was so cute. Of course, he was distracted by the camera and my giggles, so this was the best video I could get.
