A little surgery

We haven't been keeping up the blog for a while but I'm sure some of you recognize that as a good thing.
Mirabel has been doing so well we just haven't had anything to talk about.
I also blame Facebook. That's where all the cute pics have been going lately.
Anyways, M had surgery this morning to close the hole in her belly. She did so well they aren't even keeping us overnight.
I had hoped that this surgery wouldn't be necessary but now that it's over it's great to be done with this chapter. She hasn't eaten thru her G-tube in almost a year and now no more leaking stomach acid. All in time to start at her new school in a few weeks.
If you want more frequent updates you'll have to friend us on Facebook but you'll also get the added benefit of cute pictures of Mirabel and the newest member of our family, Santa Bunny.

We're way overdue on a much longer blog post, but we just had to post this pic (courtesy of the lovely Debora Spencer).

Contrary to the look on her face, Mirabel is doing VERY well and is generally a happy little girl. But life's tough at 2 1/2, you know?

Merry Christmas to all!!!

Summer living

This was earlier in the week, before we had to dig our coats out and bundle up again.

Bye!

Summer.

Hello all. Everything is going well here. We've all had colds but we're getting better and summer's here. We went to the beach today and Mirabel saw her first parade yesterday.

We're having a heat wave!

We thought we'd head out before it got too hot.

She likes being outside...

But she wont go alone...

I'm pretty sure Daddy got wetting than she did...

She's going to have to learn to like the water a little bit more though.

Wading pool's open!!!

Too bright.

Where's your...

Off to daycare

Finally, a beautiful sunny weekend day.

Memorial Day

After many rainy days the sun came out and we were able to spend some time at the park. We hope you're having a great day!

Hello everyone. Mirabel is doing pretty well. She's been fighting a cold the last week or two but aside from the snot, she seems to be feeling better. She has a procedure scheduled for Monday. Her g-tube upgraded to a new model. We should be in and out but keep her in your thoughts. Hope you are all well.
