Getting to be a big girl...

We had Emma's 2 year check-up a few days ago and everything went really well. She weighed 27.6lbs and was 35in tall. I was so excited to hear her weight, she has gained 2lbs since we where at the cardiologist a few months ago. She didn't need any shots this time, thank god, It always worries me when she gets so upset and raises her heart rate...
Nickolas also when for his check-up and is 37lbs, he is getting to be such a big boy. They are both in the 90% in their height, Nickolas is also in the 90% for his weight, which the dr. said was really good. Emma is only in 50% for her weight which is really good for kids her age if she was a little shorter, I will take 50% (she has been in 25%), I am so proud of her, she just keeps fighting and getting bigger, everything she is suppose to do...

Emma also started to school with Nickolas two days a week. She did really well on her first day, she kissed me by and went off and played. When I got there to pick her and Nickolas up she was so excited, she had to show me the frog hat she made at school... She told me all about her numbers and letters and said that she had lots of fun playing at bubbas school today...

I have to share another cute Nickolas story with y'all... We where on our way home and it had started to rain...

Nickolas: "Mommy, it's raining"

Mommy: "Yep, it sure is"

Nickolas: "Mommy, where we get rain?"

Mommy: "Well, God makes the rain"

Nickolas: "Why?"

Mommy: "To make our flowers and trees grow pretty"

Nickolas: "Oh, Mommy, he is a good God"

I could not have said it better myself, sometimes it takes a three year old to remind us when we are having a bad day, that "He is a good God"...

Sorry this is such a long post, but was wondering if I could ask you to pray for a heart family... Their son Connie has the same problems as Emma and just got the news that he needs to have a heart transplant. Doing another surgery would put him to much at risk... They are praying for a better second opinion and that no transplant will be necessary...

Thank you so much for checking in on us, we love you and in the words of Nickolas, always remember, "He is a good God"...
