the braids....

Eli was getting a FUNKY rash on his noggin so it was time for removal of the braids.

3 very long hours later.....

Eli had an Amazing trip. He is still telling me stories of his adventures. It absolutely blows my mind to realize all my 10 year old has seen. These trips really expand his world ( and mind). Thank you sooooo much Nana and Papaw for sharing this with Eli. It truly changes his life.

Eli in Jamaica

Eli's been gone 2 weeks, and Destiny is FREAKING out. Thank goodness he'll be back tomorrow.

medical

I have been having alot of lower stomach pain so my dr sent me for a ultrasound last Friday. My left ovary is about twice the size of the right & I have either a hemorrhagic cyst or an endometrioma on the right side. I am going to have laparoscopy on June 19. Hopefully they will be able to figure out what is going on. If it is a cyst they will try to drain it. The ultrasound said it is solid so it could be filled w/ blood . If its endrometrosis then they will burn all they can to give me a clean slate.Then put me on an estrogen free birth control to slow the regrowth. I am extremely nervous over what the mass is . I have been trying since 2005 to find out what is causing my pain. So it is a relief to have an end in sight. Thankfully it is a minimally invasive surgery & he promises to leave all my "parts" in. So Nana we will need some childcare..... Glad you are going to be here!!!

Today was a day of firsts....... Eli had his first DATE today. Can you believe I am @ THAT stage already? Sam had his first baseball practice today. He made 2 runs & got 2 players out. He LOVED it! He starts a preseason tournament next week. His first game is Tuesday nite @ 7:30 in Middle Valley. Do these people forget about schoolnite bedtimes? Anyway here are some pics from our big day of firsts.
