VALENTINE'S WEEK...

Since it was warm and springlike, I went ahead and sent this Gymboree outfit home with Natalie from the new spring line. I was also suppose to rain this day. This is a darling raincoat. I LOVE EBAY! These are some of the most recent Spring 09 clothes and I got all of them at great prices!

Doesn't she look like a little model?
I showed this idea to B while they were in last weekend. She loved it. I am so glad that she did this since Natalie's Valentines still have not been delivered. [long story that I won't waste yours or my time with] Natalie and Brittany did these to take to Natalie's "school" (daycare) little Valentine exchange thing. [I don't think they really had a party.]


Before they went to school, Natalie had to go to the clinic. A few days earlier, she had to do X-rays. Natalie has had a chronic cough since before Christmas (possibly since Thanksgiving). She's been on antibiotics at least twice, but it won't seem to go away. It's not so bad in the daytime, but each night it gets really bad. She coughs until her eyes look like they are about to pop out of her little face and they begin to tear up. And her face is so red; she looks like she is about to passout!
So of course, we (parents/grandparents) are very concerned. The doctor said this time they heard wheezing, but she could only hear it with the stethoscope. And it had occurred since the x-rays were made. She took a breathing treatment immediately (while at the clinic) and has been on some type of breathing treatment at home for the last few days. Please pray for my little sweetheart...that God heals her of this and with some kind of diagnosis. She doesn't sleep well because of this cough that gets so bad at night...so of course, no one else in the same home does either. It is hard to see your child (I mean grandchild) suffering and you can't do anything about it!
I hope Brittany doesn't mind. I took this from her facebook page. These two were taken at the clinic Friday. They went very early-- then Nataie and Brittany went to their schools.

She is playing with this little doggie that she got for Christmas. I don't remember the name of it, but she really liked it!

I asked Brittany to photograph the candy bars since I wouldn't be there to see them. I am so glad she did so this is one more thing in NATALIE'S WORLD that she won't forget!

This is the back side.

This was all of the ones that she was taking to school (I think).
I don't have any photos of Natalie's gift. I forgot to ask Brittany to take a photo of her receiving it, but I will mention it. I guess I should have photographed it before I sent it...actually I was doing good to get it in the mail in time for her to get on Valentine's Day. I sent it off Wednesday. Usually she gets her packages in 2 days, but just when you are really hoping she will get them quickly...it takes longer. Brittany called me yesterday, when she received it. THIS WAS THE CONTENTS OF HER PACKAGE FROM MIMI AND POPPA FOR HER FOURTH VALENTINE'S DAY:
  • A Pink Plaque with three pegs for hanging her jackets for her room. It read: PRINCESS (she is poppa's princess)
  • I found this cute little teddy bear holding a heart that read: SWEET--- I thought this was perfect since the bear was little and she is my little SWEET heart! (the first two items were the sentimental gifts. The rest are "happies" that I thought she would like.)
  • Dora Mermaid Movie
  • Pink M&M's
  • HEART-SHAPED STICKERS THAT LOOK LIKE CANDY [I was thinking these would be good to put on the Valentine envelopes. I was not thinking that at best timing that the stickers would arrive after the party. Oh well...maybe she can still do it now...NO ONE CARES IF THEY GET A PHOTO GREETING AFTER THE HOLIDAY...at least I hope they don't because I am two holidays behind now...LOL!]

I know I am out of order. I still don't have images from our afternoon a week ago at the golf course and I still don't have much from Christmas. I was so hoping to backtrack, but it is so hard to go backwards in a fast moving forward world!
