God is good

Sarah Anne's results came back and she is a healthy girl and no surgery is needed!!  Her left kidney is growing and functioning normally.  She just has a random malformation which they hope she will grow out of.  We will follow up with another ultrasound in 6 months.  It has been  a wild ride, but God is so good.  Its amazing the things that He has shown us and the people He has used to bless us during this time.  We have had a WONDERFUL group of people praying for us and are truly thankful! 

When Nana Comes to Town....

So when Nana comes to visit we have many MANY adventures.  Here are a few:
1.  Must join Saluda Shoals so Sarah Anne has a park to play at.
2.  Must leave Sarah Anne alone with Nana so Mama and Daddy can go play games.
3.  Lock Sarah Anne in the car and call the Irmo police.
4.  Join the zoo, because Sarah Anne must be available to go with Nana and Buddy.
5.  Make Mama and Daddy go to the movies and dinner so Nana can be alone with Nana.
6. Go back to Saluda Shoals so Mama and Daddy can run 4 miles and of course Nana can play with Sarah Anne alone.
7.  Go to lunch at Five Guys.
8.  Join the library so Sarah Anne can go to story time.

As you can see we have MANY adventures when Nana comes.  Here are a few picutres to document them:

Sarah Anne LOVES her NANA  and the grand adventures!!

Sarah Anne was a "boy" that day because she had to wear her Duke shirt for her Daddy, sadly it didn't work.....

Silly Daddy

I can do it all by myself!!

BIG GIRL climbing!

Oh hey!

Family Slide Time

WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!  Down the slide. 

Ready to go again!

Please let me go again!!

I love my Daddy

I'll do it myself thanks!!

Big girl going down the slide.

Look at that big girl!  She LOVED IT!!

 So I mentioned Sarah Anne being locked in the car.  I was putting air in the tires and Mama was in the car so I left the keys in the car.  She got out to put Sarah Anne's jacket on and ended up locking instead of unlocking the car.  Needless to say the police were called and saved the day! Sarah Anne actually enjoyed it, because she got to see new people!!  My little social butterfly!!

Of course after those adventures we HAD to have lunch at Moes so here are some on the way....

I have my purse ready to go eat lunch.  Notice it wasthe next day and Nana made sure she was dressed like a GIRL!!

Laughing at her Silly Nana.

After Moes for lunch, we went to the zoo where for a zoo pass!  Sarah Anne LOVED it, but not for reasons you might think.  The animals were ok, but most importantly there were TONS of people for Sarah Anne to engage and boy did she!!  She loves people and would run away from Nana and Mommy to find new friends to talk to!

Having a little snack while people searching.

Nana we need to talk to those people over there!!

Will you be my friend?

Come on Nana, let's go!!

Hmm....who else needs to see me?

Mommy and the sweet girl!!

Inside with koalas,there's Nana out there!

I NEED TO GOOOO!!!!

Buddy took Sarah Anne to the zoo for the first time at 8 weeks old, she is now 13 months old.  Isn't it funny how much she's grown?

 We went to "Tot Trade" thats held here in Columbia and Sarah Anne got a new kitchen to play with and she LOVED it!!  Here are some cooking pictures!!

We had a GREAT time with Nana...there were quite a few more adventures but this was a lot of pictures so we'll see about the rest of them later!!



Perfect Picnic Playdate

Sarah Anne and I went on a picnic playdate with our friends Lori and Topher and had a REALLY fun time!!  Sarah Anne certainly is a trooper we went from a Renogram one day to a playdate the next and she didn't miss a beat!  She is such a precious sweet baby and such  gift from God.  Anyway, these are a few pictures from our picnic.  Sarah Anne loves her friend Topher!!
