Bowling for Colins Birthday

We went Bowling as a family for Colin's Birthday. He LOVED it of course. We just let the kids bowl and we helped. They had a ton of fun! They love trying new things and Colin knew it was his special day!

Big 3!

Can you believe it??? My little MAN is 3! Words can not express how much I LOVE this boy! He is my buddy and such a FUN kid. He makes us laugh all the time! He does and says the funniest things. He has a sweet kind heart and he is very curious. He LOVES his sisters and misses Tay when she is gone. He is very excited to start preschool in the fall and he is FINALLY! pretty much almost potty trained.... we had a good day including poops on the potty! Wahoo!

I just love him and am So so glad he had such a fun birthday.

Making wishes! This was on his actual birthday (June 2) we had his party the Monday before. Colin is all about Toy Story.

Happy Birthday to You!

Taylor's Final Preschool Graduation

Colin and his backpack! He can hardly wait to go to school just like Tay!

Taylor Loves her brother and sister and as you can See Morgy LOVES~Taylor Too! She wasn't feeling to well that day but couldn't miss graduation!

This is Taylor's 3rd preschool graduation but it is her final one! She starts Kindergarten In August! I can hardly believe it. I have been up and down on deciding which school to send her to and if she should be in full day or half day!

Taylor is a very sweet little girl. She is a great example and very smart. She LOVES her family she is always telling me and her dad how much she loves us. They called her the little mother of the preschool. She keeps everyone on task and is always there to help when someone is sad or gets hurt. We were so very proud of our Tay! We love her to pieces!

Cardiologist Update

Cardiologist update today! I STRESS OUT! When these come around every 6 months! I get this terrible knot in my stomach and feel insane all day until they are over. This appointment was extra scary to me because if Morgyn didn't behave we would have to sedate her for an echo... I was not looking forward to the fight and I was almost positive that she was going to freak out and squirm and we were going to have to come back. She is 15 months could I really expect her to be good the entire time? No, and she wasn't but.... to my joy and surprise we got all the pictures of her little wonderful working heart that we needed.
She did SCREAM like we were torturing her for the first 20 minutes or so but after I found a lip gloss in my purse she munched on that ( gross I know but its better then sedation) for a while she settled down and watched Elmo the rest of the time. I felt like my prayers had been answered and that the lord was certainly watching over me...
(I'm about ready to blab so skip to the pictures if you would like)
I am in complete awe of how blessed we are. I don't think I deserve these blessings often and maybe it is Morgyn's faithfulness and not mine that gets us these extra blessings but every time we go to the cardiologist it seems things are getting better and I couldn't ask for more!
First- I am so so so Grateful that we have Dr. Rhee as a Doctor, I did not pick him, I did not do research to find him... he was handed to us and he is AMAZING! He is so kind , funny and he remembers my child!!!! I think that is huge! He is so sweet with her and always makes me feel like I know what is going on. Never leaves questions unanswered and I have always felt like he has our very best interest in mind. How did we get so lucky????
Second- just to mention that the Doctor that actually did Morgyns procedure just did the first pediatric heart transplant in AZ ( see the article here) Is it amazing or what that he is the one that saved our little lady! I sure am grateful!
Third- Morgyn's heart is nearly perfect now! I realize that she still could relapse but the chances are low (10%ish) and she is growing so wonderfully as you can see! Dr. Rhee said today that " she's a keeper" :) in his word she is wonderful! He said she has very minor narrowing of her valve, she is in normal range.... Normal range for ANY CHILD!! not just a child with heart disease. She almost doesn't even need that nasty heart disease title anymore!!! But we must keep it just to be cautious! I love this girl she is an amazing spirit and is so sweet. I love that we get to keep her and that she is so very healthy now! She is a unique addition to our home and I am ever indebted to our heavenly father for allowing her to stay here on earth with us and help us to grow!
Last- We get to see Dr. Rhee again in 6 months and if all is well it will be a year before we see him again! Love it!!!!

Sorry These of course are backward!

So Very Happy To Be finished!!!

Finally settled down enough to get some good shots! JQ was awesome!!! It is Dr/Nurses like him that make going to the Hospital/Dr. Office bearable

Just arrived at Dr. Rhee's Office. She looks like she knows whats next and she isn't thrilled about it! She was a tired baby!
