Merry Christmas

Tis the Season

The Holidays are here! I have finally finished my shopping. I think I finish later and later each year!! Next I guess is christmas baking! The girls are growing like weeds. Kynsi is now on cereal and loves it!!!! Kelsi is trying to figure out the whole Santa thing. She is understanding Christmas. Its fun to continue the traditions and think of new ones with my family!!

I had my surgery on my sunspot Friday. It did come back as Melanoma. Thankfully it was at the beginning of stage 1 so for insurance reasons they are able to diagnosis it as pre melanoma. How nice of them!!! I have a 2inch long scar now as a reminder for sunscreen and skin screenings for myself and daughters!!!

Birthday Girl!!

Kelsi turned 3 on Saturday!! I can't believe it. Where did the time go. I keep thinking next year my little girl will be in preschool! How sad!! Only for mommy, Kelsi is soo excited. She has been saying her ABC's since summer and can count to 15. A month ago she counted to 6 in spanish! (thanks Dora) We had a birthday party for her on Saturday night. She had to wear her Tinkerbell costume (from Halloween) Her cake was Dora of course. (I couldnt make one that hardly looked like Dora) I had to order. When I ordered the cake I asked for 1/2 sheet. Jeff loves extra cake. Well, they made a full sheet instead! Jeff will be eating cake for awhile.

Happy Birthday Kelsi!!

Why?

I am sitting at work reading the newspaper when something aweful catches my eye. A newborn baby girls obituary and her picture. A regular labor, full term baby, but something aweful goes wrong before her parents can even see her for the first time. I am asking God why would you take this precious angel away from her parents and brothers who are expecting her? I don't understand? The parents have hope, expectations, and undying love for this person who they haven't even met and she's taken from them before they even get to know her. I know God has his reasons for everything and I shouldn't question him but this bothers me. I would like to understand.

Update

I talked with my Dr. and the spot was pre-melanoma. Thank goodness we caught it early. I go back Dec 12 to get more tissue removed and retested and frequent checks after for a while.
