First Day of School for Kya

Today is Kya's first day of school!

We received her lab results yesterday and everything was perfectly normal. Even with being off the medicines they stayed level! So today she started Rainbow Lane. She will also stay for 4 hours at an in home daycare and have dance. What a busy day for a little girl who is use to staying at home with Grandma, sleeping in, and just enjoying life. Tomorrow she will stay with grandma and back to Rainbow Lane on Thursday morning.

I think school will be really good for her. However, she had a different opinion. She did not want to go to school, EVER! She tried the I am sick thing. When that didn't work she told me this was not a very good idea. I reassured her that it would be lots of fun and that Kaysa had went here for 3 years and loved it. She told me she was not Kaysa! So then I told her that her cousin Kaden still goes there. Kya replied, "But he isn't here today and I need someone!". So I let her get out of her carseat while we sat in line and we watched the other kids get out and go in. It was almost her turn so I told her to get back in the back seat and grab her backpack. She grabbed my cheeks with both of her little chubby hands and said, "I still don't think this is a very good idea. I just want you to understand this." Then she crawled in the back and put on her backpack. When the teacher opened the door she climbed out and went on her own little way. Don't you love reasoning with a 3 year old! This could be an interesting year.

Please continue to pray for Kya and complete healing in her body. Also that she will stay healthy while going to school and living as a normal kid. My biggest fear is that she catches something that triggers the disease again! I know that God is in control and that He will take care of her, but it is so hard to not worry. Thank you for all of your prayers and support!

Here are some pictures of our crazy morning!

Kya picked out her own outfit and got dressed and ready to go!

Then Kaysa came in dressed and ready for school. Kaysa, Kya, and Bubbles were all excited this morning!

Kya says "Cheese" for her daddy!

Mommy and Kya waiting in line for Rainbow Lane. Kya has kind of decided that she is not so sure about all of this! But she forces a smile anyway. She is my little trooper!

Summer is Over

Well it is official our summer is over! Kaysa started school today and Kya starts August 24th. I can't believe it! Where has the summer gone? If I really think about it I can probably figure it out. Between Softball, t-ball, basketball camp, and the musical I think it slipped right through our hands! Now if the heat and sunshine would go away we would be set. It has been extremely hot and the UV rays are a killer. Kya has been pretty much staying indoors until 6 or 7 in the evening to avoid both the heat and the UV. She is doing great! We go back Monday for our first blood draw with no medicines. I just keep praying that everything will stay normal!

We do have a new toy at our house. We are all having to share it. Which is really hard for me because I really love it! I am not a person of many hobbies (besides chasing my family) but I really do enjoy riding horses. We bought a new horse Saturday and she is a dream! She is so gentle and dead broke. She is really pretty and has a wonderful disposition. We bought her for the girls, but I am thinking she may become my horse and I will find them another! lol That would definitely be a fight. Even Lake enjoys riding her. So needless to say we have been riding in the evenings. It is fabulous therapy for Kya and we have a fun time as a family. Here are a few pics from last night!

Again thank you for all of the prayers and support. Please continue to pray for complete healing for Kya and that she stays well as she starts school. Thanks again for everything!
