Drum roll please……
This Easter 2012 we got spend all of the WONDERFUL weekend in OKLAHOMA! The doctor’s approved Emma to travel to Oklahoma. We loaded up the car and Emma on Saturday and made our way to Oklahoma. Emma was so excited about the car ride that she stayed awake the entire trip. We made one stop at the Oklahoma/Texas border and took a picture ok Emma in front of the “Welcome to Oklahoma” sign.
We arrived at Emma’s Gramma and Grampa’s (my mom and dad’s) house and were welcomed by a welcome sign and family. Emma was very tired from her drive and lack of nap, so Grampa walked her around until she went to sleep. While Emma slept, Scott and I enjoyed catching up with Randi, Caleb, Coen, Mom, and Dad. We also prepared a BIG birthday dinner and celebrated mom’s birthday together that evening.
We attempted to dye Easter eggs on Saturday night, Emma dumped the cup of red dye all over herself and that made her quite upset; however, she did 'color' on one egg before being done with this Easter tradition. She was either so excited about the Easter bunny, or unsure of her new surroundings but Emma did not sleep well Saturday night.
She awoke Sunday morning (slightly cranky from the lack of sleep), but quickly cheered up when she got to see the fun items in her Easter baskets. The rest of the family headed to church while I stayed back with Miss Priss. We cannot get her around huge crowds just yet, but it gave Emma and I some one-on-one time. She was very happy and let me take some cute pictures of her with her Easter dress and basket.
We met the rest of the family at the Vass Home for lunch and an egg hunt.

Side Note: Emma's last cardio appointment went well. We are currently trying to take Emma off of her fat free formula (Tolerex) to a more complete formula (Neocate Jr). We could use your prayers for Emma. Our hope is that her body will cope well with this new formula and Emma has not fluid build up in her chest cavity.
God is Good! All the Time! God is Good!
What an awesome Easter! I'm so glad you finally got to bring her to Ada! Keeping you all in prayer!

ReplyDeleteEmma, you look "egg-stra" pretty in your Easter outfit with your basket filled with eggs, toys, and books! How special you are, Sweet Granddaughter. Nana cannot believe you are already 1 and 1/2 years old! We thank God for every day of your precious life!
