Stay tuned for the video

Well--wishful thinking. I still can't get it to work right. It's 11:35 and I've been working on this for 3 hours. I'm giving up for now and will try again later.

Keep checking back for more videos.

Video of Cal Walking!!!!!

Well, here's my second attempt at inserting video clips to my blogger. The problem hasn't been with me, but my computer. The program I usually use to upload videos isn't working, so I had to use another one which was uploading the movies too large for YouTube and the blogger to accept. So after hours and hours of teaching myself how to use the new program, I think I've got the hang of it..........

My First Attempt with a Video

Here's a cute video of Cal taken this month. He is flexing his muscles, grimacing his face, and showing us how strong he is........

Michael's Guitar and other Silly Pictures

Guess who wants to be picked up?

How is it that Michael is a preschooler now?

He cannot stand still for pictures today!

Just a boy and his guitar

He used all the markers on his nose.........

only the orange and blue on his leg

Well, I couldn't resist taking this picture of Michael with his guitar. His Nana and Poppa bought it for him and he plays it all the time. He usually sleeps with it too and tries to carry it everywhere we go. He ran downstairs after his bath while Chris was getting Cal dressed and picked it up just like he was-----

The pictures of him with marker all over his face and leg were about a month ago. He had been watching a video for quiet time and I was upstairs putting Cal down for a nap and jumped on the computer for a few minutes to check email, etc. I was thinking to myself that he was being really quiet......................

The other pictures I took yesterday--nothing special about the day, just some pictures!

The first day at MGM

The boys and I went on a two week trip while Chris was TDY to Georgia. First, we went to Disney World with 8 members of my family: my mom and dad, my aunt Amy, my Uncle Rickey and his wife Georgia and their three kids Melissa, Matthew, and Michael. After we had our fun at Disney, we went to visit my friends, Amy McCullough down in Tampa. We stayed with her about 5 days and then came home just in time for Daddy to arrive. Disney was wonderful. Other than vacation and fun, our primary reason for going to Disney was to take my cousin, Michael there before he has major heart surgery later this month. He had a twin brother, Mark, that passed away in October 2006 after heart surgery. They were born with pulmonary atresia and have been through many heart caths and surgeries. Michael has always had a better prognosis than Mark, but even still, we had him in a wheelchair all throughout Disney World. He gets very out of breath and tired if he exerts himself too much so it worked out great for him as far as not getting tired. It also worked out great for the rest of us because we never had to wait in line. Another great experience at Disney was during our day at the Magic Kingdom. When my dad's boss found out our reason for going to Disney, he made some phone calls that resulted in us having a VIP-guided day at the Magic Kingdom. We had two guides that were the nicest guys that took us everywhere--we never waited in line, never had to worry about where we were going--it was wonderful. I told Chris I'll never be able to go back to Disney because we were so spoiled this time around!!

But, the most important thing was that we were able to take my cousin, Michael, to Disney World before this major surgery and see all the magic and wonder in his eyes.
