Ms. Kate

Hey everybody,

I just wanted to fill everyone on what has been keeping me so busy that I am not able to keep up with the family blog.

It's Ms. Kate's fault(just kiddin')...she is one very excited little girl. She was chosen to play the Tuba for the Pflugerville Middle School(to us older folks, that is Jr. High), she is so excited she can hardly stop talking about it. What am I saying....she doesn't stop talking ever. She just found out day before yesterday and it has been a sea of chaos ever since. I keep thinking to myself (of course) what in the world was she thinking picking the TUBA!!! She told me she loved the deep sounds that it makes, she told me that she gets teased because her voice is such a little kid voice and that this was her "adult voice". I just don't know where she gets the little kid voice from...no idea. We are so proud of her and she is the happiest I've seen her in a very long time.

But..........

That is not everything, my dear sweet baby is finally having the surgery that will help her with her leg length discrepancy. We went down to Houston for a check-up on the 3rd of February and the doctors said that it could be 3-6 months before her name would come up on the list to be eligible for surgery. Well, God had a different plan and 35 days later she will be on the operating table. Honestly, I am a little scared, she is my baby and well NO parent wants to see there child in pain or hurt in any way. So I just have to keep reminding myself that this is for a good reason. I think about it and just start to cry, maybe there was something that I could have done while I was pregnant that would have prevented this, but I did everything I was suppose to, and God isn't going to give her (or me) any more then she can't handle. I just can't break in front of her. Keep her in your prayers and I wouldn't mind a few tossed my way, I know Jay wouldn't mind some
either, he is handling this WAY better then I am. Pray that we will all be strong enough to get through this. I know that others have been and are going through much worse, but I am just scared, she's my baby!!
