One year ago

One year ago, I received the call that Trenton had a tumor in his chest which lead to a 6 hour surgery, multiple days in PICU and weeks at home in recovery. Looking back, I thank god we made it. Trenton is healthy and doing well. We're still running tests on his thyroid but nothing that is life threatening.
One year ago, Brett was unemployed. We thought this was the end of the world. Funny how things are put into perspective. I guess we needed a reminder that things happen for a reason. He now loves his job and it is so much better for his stress level and for our family.
One year ago we weren't even thinking about adding to our family. Now here I am almost 7 months pregnant and awaiting the arrival of our baby girl, Tylee Lynn. Trenton is ecstatic to have a baby sister and I couldn't be happier. A couple more months and I'll be holding that sweet girl in my arms.
I wonder where we"ll be one year from now...

So I've been busy painting as you can see and it is now finished. I'm quite happy with how it turned out. I still have some work to do but we are well on our way.
Vatoo thinks this room is his. Before long he'll be kicked out (of the room that is)!
I just love the way it turned out. Being a bit of a perfectionist, I did start over several times but I'm gald I did. The flowers weren't easy but they turned out great.
The blanket on the changing table was my baby blanket. I plan to pass it on just as we did by giving Brett's baby blanket to Trenton (which he adores).
The bedding is adorable. It's hard to tell but the pattern on the lamp shade is flowers just like I did on the wall. So fun! Tylee we're just about ready for you!

Sledding in McCall

We took a mini vacation over Spring break to McCall with friends. Trenton loved how fast this sled traveled down the hill. He's become quite the dare devil.
There's my boy!
Come on Tori, pull me up the hill.
Kassidy all decked out in matching gear.
Hey, I've fallen and I'm still smiling!
We love Tori!
Smile Cole!
Thanks girls for a lovely trip!!
