Sophie’s First Pigtails

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Sophie Kate has had a pretty good week.  We are still dealing with some lingering crying issues in the evening, which is very frustrating.  However, her days have been good and I can tell that she is feeling better and better each day b/c those sweet smiles have returned in full force.  I did have to take her in to the doctor today for something that had popped up over the past few days on one of her incision sites from her last surgery.  Turns out it’s a small abscess, of course it is, it’s Sophie Kate isn’t it?  So she will now be on a 10 day course of antibiotics (wonderful) and then we go back to the doctor on Tuesday to make sure it is draining (gross) and then healing properly w/o infection. 

SK has had another good week of therapy, which we are so thrilled with, it is so encouraging.  We are starting to work with a Speech Therapist who is introducing communication devices to Sophie Kate.  She can actually push a button and hear people sing to her.  It’s all very exciting, I’ll give y’all more information as we get further into it.  She gets a huge smile when people sing to her, she loves music.

I have to share this one picture with y’all of the first time I put SK’s hair in pigtails.  SK, I am so sorry that you don’t have a mama that can do girl hair.  I did the best I could, it was pretty funny.

It’s the battle for supremacy, 3 year old Disney checkers, they like to do things old school style, aren’t they hysterical?

Finally, it’s time for the spring dresses to come out, we are sooo ready, just a sweet moment with Grey and SK.

It’s opening weekend for baseball here and we are so pumped about watching our boys play.  It’s supposed to be a nice weekend here after way to many bad weather days, can’t wait to get out to the ballpark!  Have a great weekend!

 Sophie Kate’s flyers are here…

A HUGE thanks to First Baptist Church Trussville for printing all of our flyers on the cutest shade of pink ever.  Now, we need all of your help, so once again troops I really need y’all to mobilize in a big way.  Our plan of action here is two-fold.  First, we need y’all to help us get these flyers out to the community.  So, if you have anyone that you can hand flyers out to let us know, like sports teams, dance/cheer groups, area businesses, church groups, and even in your neighborhood, Theresa Suhr, Traci Collins and I all have them, just get in touch with one of us.  We have got to get them out to as many people as possible.  Second, we are going to need volunteers on the actual day, Monday April 13 to help us at Chick-fil-A.  We are getting a sign up sheet together and are starting to fill slots in so please let us know if you will be able to help on that day as well.

We want to be very quick and careful to give God all the glory for this wonderful opportunity.  This day is not all about Sophie Kate (sorry Miss Sassy it’s not).  We want the message of God’s faithfulness and unfailing love to show through.  We are so thankful for the community support we receive here in Trussville, Alabama.  Can’t wait to see everyone at Chick-fil-A on Monday, April 13, save the date!
