Wow, Happy New Year! (^_^) Christmas Staycation was a Blessing!


Happy New Year 2012, Sweeties! I cannot believe that 2012 is already upon us! The last few weeks was a blur because I was preparing for the Da Vinci to pluck out the tangerines on my ovaries!

Kids passed their Yellow Belt Test!


Thankfully, with everyone's prayers and love, everything went smoothly! Besides the anesthesia which was enough to knock out an elephant, the unpleasant side effects (throwing up on hubby), and purple fist-size bruise on the belly button area, all the scars are slowly recovering!

3 Monkeys had a GREAT Staycation!

Hubby took really good care of us during our staycation! For the 1st time, I began my 'Eat~Read~Nap~Watch TV' pamperd lifestyle and loved it! The kids loved having daddy take them to karate, Souplantation, Hugo, and many days of hiking together! 



The best reward of their exploration was the discovery of a creek in the trails just 1.5 miles from our house! So though this is a very different Christmas for our family, we were very blessed, in fact more than ever!




We had 11 straight days of delicious and healthy foods from neighbors, church pals, and even college buddies from New York!

 (^_^) By day 4 post op, I was already sweeping (slowly but surely) our living room while my 3 monkeys sat and enjoyed Trader Joe's popcorn watching TV!

Though our ceiling leaked water from the bath pipes upstairs, we were blessed that they were taken care of during our staycation too!

Life's biggest blessing is truly being with your loved ones, and knowing that they care and are here for us.

May you have a blessed and adventurous 2012! ~(^_^)~ Thank you for your Prayers, Encouragements, and Fattening me up over the holidays!
