It feels like spring is coming soon!

I’m dreaming of sun and bright flowers and dry luscious green grass and trees with leaves on them.  And photographing people in front that.

A couple weeks ago, my family and I took advantage of the nice weather and visited the Portland Japanese garden.  It was a free day for the community so it was packed.  Packed with people but fun!

Jerry and I even gave the girls cameras so that they could each take their own photos.  They surely enjoyed that.

This is a photo that Jenna took.

And here is a photo that Malia took.

And here are other images that I captured throughout the day.


We had an amazing time.  So excited to visit the garden again once the flowers are blooming!

xoxox,

Maricar

Here’s Malia my first grader.  I won’t cry. She loves her new teacher and wow she gets a big student desk now!  I won’t be doing Art Literacy in her class anymore but I’ve been elected the PTA Vice President so I’ll be in her school often enough to embarrass her.  :)

And my sassy Jenna who is now in preschool.  Thankfully it’s a co-op preschool so I get to come in often to help out.  I can’t let go of her just yet!  The best thing about her being in preschool other than her learning new things and making new friends and loving on her Teacher?  The squeals when she sees me at the door when I come to pick her up.  Truly the best!

They will indeed be looking forward to the next “Fancy Nancy” party next year!

Let me let you in on a secret about me.  I’m real.  Things haven’t been the same for me the past couple years.  It might have been everything leading up to this that has caused it.  Sickness, death, life, pain, sorrow.  All of it.  It’s made me a different person inside.  I used to blog a lot.  I used to laugh a lot.  I used to get up from bed happy and sprightly.  But a lot has changed.  I’m fighting that bad feeling.  Not fighting change because that’s what’s made me, me.  I just need to look forward, be happy with what God gives me.  Even if it is bad, because it teaches me lessons and that life needs lessons.  Good, because it teaches me to live life to the fullest.

If you’re still with me, I thank you.  I thank you for following me on my journey.

Every year, we make it a tradition to go down to the downtown waterfront to take photos at the cherry blossoms.  I thank God for the blossoms, for the beautiful city, for my wonderful family.  Spring is here to tell us that it’s time to grow again.  To spread your wings and fly and make life worth living.

The first time she doesn’t really remember. It was the day after we were released from the hospital. I delivered her via c-section just 5 days prior and she was jaundiced. That stay lasted less than 2 days. She was a very compliant little baby girl.

This time she’s in because she has pneumonia caused by RSV. She started really not feeling well on Thursday. She was seen in urgent care & they did the chest xrays & blood draws. We went home with the pneumonia diagnosis and possible UTI. They prescribed Tylenol for her fever and amoxicillin/augmentin for the pneumonia. Fast forward to this morning. She still isn’t doing well. Not keeping her fluids down including her medicines. She wasn’t sleeping well because her cough would wake her up. Her fever was still high. So the doc decided to admit her.

The IV placement was difficult. She cried a lot but was tired enough that she couldn’t fight. Right now they’re giving her strong antibiotics and the Tylenol/ibuprofen combo for her fever. Were also doing chest percussion treatments to loosen the yuckies on her lungs. Poor thing has to wear diapers again because she can’t control her peeps and poops. She hates it.

She was extremely sad and crying when she found out her daddy & Lia had to go home.  She kept crying “I want my daddy and sissy.  I want to go home too.  I’m all better.”  Breaks my heart.

The machine for oxygen saturation keeps beeping because her level keeps dipping below 91%. They might give her oxygen later if this keeps up.  She’s tried to pull her IV out 5 times already while in deep sleep.  I guess this momma isn’t going to sleep any time soon.

The doc says she may be released Monday but most likely Tuesday. I’m so happy she’s in good hands. The Lord is watching over her and a ton of people are praying for her quick recovery.
