babies, four wheelers, and awards - oh my!

If you are wondering about an update for Griffin, we don't have any new news to report yet.  The surgeons were supposed to meet last week to discuss his case, but there is a very sick little girl named Anna that they have been working with.  Please pray for her!!  You can find out more info from her Caring Bridge site here.  We are hopeful to have a little more info and a surgery date this week.

Friday, Maggie and I went to visit my papa at the hospital.  He had a procedure done and is now back at rehab.  Maggie was a champ!  She has those nurses wrapped around her little finger.  She knows how to get Sprite and popsicles. ;-)

That evening, we had Eric's family over for tacos -- one of our favorite things to eat together!  This was little Paisley's first trip to our house.  She was a little cranky butt for the first part of the evening, but Eric's dad had a special touch with her.  Every time he would hold her, she would calm down and stop crying.  Sweet! 

I have to admit something... I GOT BABY FEVER!  (No, there will not be any more babies at our house!) It was so precious to see Maggie enamored with having a baby around.  She loved Paisley!  I kept thinking to myself, one more??... 

But, I think I'm over the fever.  It was just a little 24 hour bug! ;-)  They would have fun with another baby around, though...

Saturday was BEAUTIFUL out!  I mean, just gorgeous! We spent the morning at my mom and dad's and Levi immediately broke out a four wheeler.  It was nice to be outside.  COME ON SPRING!

Mags hasn't been on the four wheelers yet.  She is content to scoot around on her little pink scooter, which is just fine with Mommy.  However, Saturday, she was extra curious and wanted to ride with Levi.  Part of me thought it was adorable, while the other part of me thought NOT YET...

Sunday, we were back to the cooler weather. Ugh.  It was fun while it lasted.  We spent the afternoon eating lunch with some friends from church and then an awards program for basketball.  Here is half of the team with their coaches.  We are so blessed to have friends who have been Levi's coaches for the last two years.  Levi loves spending this time with Eric.  It has been an awesome bonding experience for them.

 These boys have been on the same team with each other for two years.  They have gone undefeated in soccer, baseball and basketball up until last week, when they lost their first game.  They'd been so used to winning that it was a shock for them to lose.  Ha!  We've been telling Levi that it is okay to lose, as long as he tried his hardest and had fun.  Losing still caught him off guard. ;-)

 Love my boys!
