A Day With Debbie

Lindsay took Madalyn to the kidney dr this morning for her post op check up on her kidneys, no reflux, both kidneys are doing great!
Another x-ray in 6 weeks to make sure everything is still good.

Nothing like Madalyn calling her ma and g-daddy saying to please come to her house and have cheese dip and chips with her----half time of the Super Bowl was spent with Madalyn and Loraly watching Shrek....

Last night we all met at the original ElFenix to celebrate papas b-day---his brother EL, wife, Fran, Betty Lou, his sister, her grandson, wife and great grandson, Mike & I, Wes, Sandi, Jenn and her boys, Glen, Susan, Natalie, Cam and his new friend, Angela and Doug/Dale....we all had a great time, food was wonderful...
Mike & I went with Cam & Angela to an Italian ice cream place after dinner in Oak Lawn and it was the best ice cream I have ever ate with only a few calories....in West Village....
Back to Waco for us....

It is Super Bowl Sunday, wonder who will win????

Today, Madalyn got to go to Pauls and play for the afternoon...Loraly is sleeping and it has been so quiet here! Loraly and I shared a warm bowl of chicken noodle soup and some pears, she actually ate more than me today!
It was a nice morning, it rained then a cold front came thru...
Cam will be here sometimes this afternoon, he came into town for an alumni meeting, he got to see some old friends and visit with one of his professors....
Amber & Kaitlyn have tickets to see Keith Urban---they were on their way to the concert, gave me a call, a friend had 2 extra tickets and she wanted to know if Mike & I wanted them----sooo, off we went to see Keith Urban, he can sing, play guitar, drums, and piano---was a wonderful concert! Thank you Amber!

Paul is here playing with Madalyn, they both ate a good lunch and now are playing...
Paul started his oral chemo this morning, Leigh said he took it really well. Yesterday, while in Ft.Worth, Paul and Leigh got to go to the rodeo...
He is really growing some hair back fast, hopefully, this oral chemo will not make Paul lose his hair again!
Praying for the study to get here...SOON!

Happy Birthday to papa, yesterday!!!!
I went to Lindsays today to watch the girlies, Mark & Lindsay were getting a new computer delivered and someone needed to be there to sign for it---the girls played good all day, they got to go out and jump on the new trampoline--I picked up the house for Lindsay....

We had a nice weekend, went to Irving on Friday, papa has some surgery done, unfortunatley, not good news for us---there is nothing more they can do for his heart, it is only working at 20% now, pacemaker is doing 80%---so, my wish for papa is too enjoy and savor each day, live each day to the fullest...
Over the weekend we went to the movie and saw "Anapolis", was okay, not great, bought our big black mirror for formal dining room, Mike hung it---worked on pictures for the living room wall, ate at Olive Garden----
Lindsay took Loraly to the dr this afternoon, her ear is red but not infected, a sore on her tongue that looks infected, guess that is why she does not want to eat---

We go to Irving tomorrow morning, early, papa is having some tests done on his heart---I will update tomorrow night to report findings....

as you can see, all these blogs were wrote the same night, I have not updated in a while, I want to give this blog a good try--my goal is to blog every day!!! Hope I got all of them down right!!!

Paul was to start a new study on Monday after the insurance was approved, Leigh and Terrill got a call that the trial had been delayed indefinatley due to some problems with some other children currently doing hte study, now Paul is in limbo---Leigh goes to Cooks on Monday to discuss other options with his dr---
He has some FUZZ---I was rubbing his head and he told me not to rub his fuzz off---

We celebrated Pauls birthday today, Madalyn called Mike a few nights ago, suggested that we take her and Paul to see the Monster Trucks...so, we did just that! We went to a little steak house to eat beforehand then off to the big show--before the show started, they got souviners, both got Monster trucks and banners that the drives signed---at halftime, they got to ride in a Monster truck along with grandma---what fun we had!
On Sat, Pauls mommy and daddy gave him a bowling party at the Baylor bowling alley---Amber & I made him a Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart cake---

Happy Birthday Daddy, I miss you so much, it has been 3 years since you passed away, I wish you could of been here to see these little girls laugh and grow and sit on your knee and tell you stories and give you hugs and kisses, you would of really loved that! And Amber got married and Cam graduated college---you would of been so proud!

Mike & I went to Carrollton for New Years---we went with our dear friends, Dale & Doug to celebrate the occasion--IIIForks for a wonderful,(expensive) dinner then to the movie to see "Rumor Has It"and home in 10 minutes to spare to bring in 2006...a little bubbly to toast then bedtime for some weary friends!
Also, they took us us to the Gaylord to walk around that pretty incredible resort and Cracker Barrell for breakfast....a niice week-end.

10 years old today, Dec28...growing up so fast into a beautiful young woman! You are so pretty, outgoing, and full of life, I love you so much!
I can remember the moment I saw daddy walk out of the delivery rom with you, your mom had to have a c-section because you were breech...he was gleeming and I wanted to hold you so bad but had to wait till the Dr checked you out...I loved every moment of your baby-hood, you were precious, my 1st grand-child...and I love spoiling you rotten and our time together on spring and summer breaks!
You have such a sweet outlook on life, love your friends and family, and such a tender heart, like me! Iam so very proud of you!
Mike & I met up at Olive Garden with Amber & Kaitlyn and Lindsay and her girls for a nice lunch then back to our house for cake and presents....

Merry Christmas to friends and family!
What a wonderful year for us all...

Happy Birthday Lindsay!
We celebrated by going to Cleburne, Kaitlyn had a skating party early for her birthday---went to a restaurant there after Kaitlyns party to eat and have cake...Cam drove down from Greenville, was a fun day to be all together!

Our son in law, Mark turned 30 today, Happy Birthday!
We took Mark & Lindsay and the girlies to Road House to celebrate...

Lots of food--too many leftovers, our sweet family, many memories!

Nov17---Loraly turned "2" today...
A big party at her house with cake and all the trimmings!

Halloween was a fun night, lots of Trick or Treaters, the Saxons brought the boys by, SpiderMan, Jeff Gordon, and a little Train Conductor---then along came Mark & Lindsay with the girls, a beautiful Rock Star with pink hair and my little Princess...
We are helping Cam move to Greenville tomorrow, he got a new job, a new start, I hope this is the best thing for him, he needs a break and a new beginning...his old company was not very nice, he gave a 2 week notice and they ask him to go ahead and leave...
I took the girls back to McDs to eat/play again today, it wore Loraly out, she slept for 2 hrs this afternoon.
