Poll results
The results of the poll. Six to move to New York. Three to move to another state. My guess would be that state is Idaho. If I'm wrong let me know. Thanks for Voting that was fun.
MAGIC
I have been sick this week and haven't been as attentive as I should. An example of this would be Sarah went in to her room to play. When she came out to see her Daddy.
She looked like this. She likes to have what she refers to as a makeuhover.
She likes to have her nail painted and make up on. I had to throw away all of the play make up. She was wearing all most all of it anyway. That was another day. Jono told her she was naughty. That you are not supposed to write on yourself that you are only allowed to write on paper. Then he said now what are you allowed to write on and she said "My hands."
Up on further inspection. I found this. Now let me give you a wonderful tip. MAGIC ERASER. Sarah is very creative. She has done worst than this. Beautiful artwork on the walls, the dressers, and of course herself. Well I could not go on without MAGIC ERASER. This is permenant marker.
All better. Get it! They work!

Doctors Appointment gone bad
Sarah and Jonathan had a Doctors appointment last Monday. I was happy to get them in they were both behind on the shots. I have to admit I have been worrying about their immunizations after watching Jenny McCarthy on OPRAH. Jonathan ended up getting five shots and Sarah got two. Everything was going great the Doctor said Sarah was doing really well on talking she kept saying Dr. Vedder. She really loved going to the Doctor's office. Loved being the key word.
That mourning she was all let's go I want to go. Then he checked her ear's. The Doctor says does she have an ear tube. The answer is of course "No." Then he says it looks like an earring is in her ear. I looked at Jono and hit him on the arm "I knew we should have taken her to the hospital."
So rewind, about 4 to 6 weeks ago, Sarah and Mary were playing in their bedroom and Sarah comes out and says she has an earring in her ear. We get the flash light and look and We really thought we saw the back of an earring for like a second but because we just weren't sure. we looked in every one's ears to compare and they all looked the same and she never complained about it again. I wanted to take her to the emergency room but Jono was like for what to sit there for 5 hours and there is nothing in there. I thought your right. I am always freaking over nothing. Taking them to the doctors and nothing is wrong with them.
So back at the Doctors, Dr. Vedder decided that he would try to get the earring out. He went and got a long stick and I was holding Sarah and he sticks it in her ear. I thought I was going to throw up. I have stuck a Q-tip in my ear so far, on accident, that my ear ached for a week. I said "I can't hold her while your doing this." Really we should have had him stop at that point hind sight and everything. Instead Jonathan took her. The Doc almost had it but she was screaming and squirming. So we had to make an Appt. with an Ear, Nose and Throat Dr.. I called for the Appt. as we drove home and they said to come right now they would squeeze us in. You can all guess how that went Sarah wanted nothing to do with anyone touching her ears. So they immediately whisk us out of the room and say she will have day Surgery tomorrow. It will only cost $800.00. I'm like what. I call Jono freaking not only because I don't have $800.00 cash to throw at the doctor but also they want to knock Sarah out. They send me to pre-op and have me talk to the anesthesiologist. I really felt like bursting in to tears the entire time. Luckily they worked out the payment with my insurance. Then they told me to be there at 6:30 the next mourning. I take Sarah home she goes to sleep and my poor boy was up all night. Whenever he moved his legs he would cry.
This at 6:00am the mourning of her surgery.
Everyone was very nice. Sarah got a Shirt that said Naples Day Surgery, a pair of socks, a little orange fish and, a picture of the two of us sitting in this chair.
This is the nurse. Everyone would walk by and tell me how cute Sarah is.
Sarah had to wear this hat and also a face mask but I couldn't get her to keep that on her face.
She really liked this hat.
This is the Earring back that was in Sarah's right ear. The doctor said it was sitting on her ear drum and it left a water blister. She got ear drops. He doesn't think it will affect her hearing. Sarah was out for 12 min. So this was all done pretty quickly.
Funny thing they told me that every child comes out of the anesthesia and cries. I shouldn't be alarmed when they bring her to me and she is sobbing. Well guess what not my kid. She opened her eyes and smiled at the lady. They couldn't believe it.
I go in and take her. They make you sit and wait for about 30 min. before you can leave. Well let me tell you Sarah got so mad at me she starts screaming at the top of her lungs. "MOM!" over and over both of her hands are clinched really tight. I was trying not to laugh because I'm think she doesn't cry instead she wants to clobber me. She got angry because they gave me a cup of apple juice filled to the rim and Sarah wanted to hold it by herself and I didn't want her to spill it so I wouldn't let her. Man what a temper. Luckily everything went well and Sarah is doing fine.

The Girls
I was playing with the camera. It has cool settings and these are some of the shots I took. They aren't the best but there my kids so there gorgeous.
This is clearly her angry face. I see that a lot.
This is a serious look.
Mary likes to pose. She wanted a silly picture.
If I could get the girls to cooperate this shot will look so cool.

REQUESTS FROM YOU
We have talked to a lot of you and apparently it is very difficult to get to this site. I guess the invites expire. So We have decided to open this site to the public.
Some of you have asked about the music. There are a bunch of songs to choose. I think are taste is eclectic enough to cover all of you. If you want a specific tune let us know we can try and get it.
All you need to do is click on the song you want to play. One way to look at the songs is to click on the last song and another page of songs scrolls up. Keep doing this until you find a song you want. Or There is a forward and backward button on either side of the play button. Or turn down your volume.

The Beach
This was Jonathan's first trip to the beach. He ate so much sand. He is so active, always moving, we just couldn't get to him fast enough to stop him. He really seemed to enjoy himself.
Sarah isn't the biggest fan of the beach. It takes her a while to get used to the sand on her feet. The water freaks her out because it's trying to get her. 
Mary loves the beach. The hardest part was trying to keep her dry. We of course did not succeed. She loves the water. 
All in all it was really fun. After the sunset we came home and watched Shrek 3.
We had a picnic on the living room floor. Mary was very insistent about that.
Sand Castles
We went to the beach last night and they had this amazing sand castle in front of the Ritz Carlton. If you are interested they usually have a live wed cam. I don't know how to add it here, just browse for vanderbilt beach web cam. It's down right now, I'm sure they will get it back up sometime.
