I love Lily...the picture book.

Phillip and Kiera are faring pretty well so far through all this. So many of you have been so generous and sent gifts for them as well as Lily and we all appreciate it. Phillip talks to me and asks tons of questions about what is going on. My favorite story from a neighbor was that on the day after Lily's surgery he was out back riding his scooter and she asked him how Lil was doing. He said "pretty good. They had to take a tumor out. I only had a bruise on my pancreas and I had to stay at the hospital a week, she'll probably have to stay like a month."

Kiera on the other hand usually pretends not to be too concerned and definitely won't talk about it. I've taken her to have her nails done, had some girly hair braiding time, and tried all kinds of things to see how she's doin- but she doesn't budge. The day we went into surgery she came down with the sniffles, then she sprouted a heat rash on her face, and now teeth are loose and she has bug bites. She transforms into her old self when friends are over, so we try and keep things hoppin here for her. Tonight we are going to start a scrapbooking project together while the boys go to the football game. Plus it gives me a reason not to clean. I have been wanting to make Lily's Pooh book for ages since he goes everywhere with us, but Then I had a thought- with another hospital visit coming up- it would be nice for Lily to have a book with pictures and nice words from those who love her. If you would like to participate, here's what I need:

A picture of you/your family (4x6 or smaller) and something handwritten and signed (5x5 or smaller). It can be as simple as I love Lily- she loves seeing her name! The album pages are top load 6x6- if you are crafty/scrapbooky feel free to make your own and I can just put it in the book- otherwise you can email me a photo or send the wishes by snail mail to us. 91-1135 Kaiee St., Ewa Beach, HI 96706
