Week 35 - “Back To School” Photo Challenge!

This weeks contest at i heart faces is Back to School! I chose this pic of my little guy Gavin Jon's first day of Pre-School. This pic sums up his emotions on his first day! He was not quite sure how to take being away from Mommy! I ended up spending the first hour there and sneaking when he got into playing with a puzzle! I felt like such a bad Mommy but I knew he had to learn to be there by himself! He now enjoys going to school and thinks he is such a big boy!

Week 33 - “Nostalgia”

This pic was taken at Give Kids the World a place in FL. for children with special needs to stay while on their Make A Wish trips to DisneyWorld.  I chose this pic because it brings back so many wonderful memories we had their as a family. 

For the first time in a loooooooooong time we did not have to worry about Chemo treatments, Blood Transfusions. MRIs,CT Scans. or any other crazy Surgery or Test. We had such a great time that week in FL. Gavin got to be himself and not worry about the scars covering his arm or the spot on his chest next to his heart where his Central (Lifeline) Line had once been. 

He played with precious children who were in wheelchairs, and a Beautiful little Lady who was sporting the "Chemo" hairdo he once had. At this special place however there were no illneses only beautiful children running and playing and laughing at all the wonders GKTW has to offer. 

Everytime I look at these pictures I tear up remembering all the wonderful times that were had that week and all the great memories that were made.

To see more wonderful pics go on over to iheart faces! There are some real talented Mommy's over there ......

P.S To go with the theme of this week this place is made to look like a cross between Alice in Wonderland and the game CandyLand! The ice Cream Parlor in which this pic was taken in has a HUGE CandyLand game board mounted in a frame on the wall. It is truly a magical place to stay!

 

Week 32 - “Bubbles”

This week's challenge at iheart faces is Bubbles!!! I have just the pic for this week too! Here is my little guy trying his hardest to blow some bubbles in the bathtub. I think this pic is absolutly priceless because you can just see on his face how hard he is trying to get those bubbles to come out of the wand! 

Week 29 - "At The Beach" Photo Challenge

This week at iheartfaces is At the Beach! Here is a pic of my Oldest son Nicholas at the Beach in Florida! This was taken last November during Gavin Jon's Make A Wish trip. We enjoyed an afternoon at the beach ... I remember it being so peaceful and relaxing!

Week 28 Photo Challenge: “Feet Week”

This week at IHeartFaces is feet week! I found this pic in with a bunch of Gavin's bath pics. I love how his little foot is curled up and the waves in the water make it look interesting.

Week 27 Sports in Action

Here is my oldest son Nicholas playing Soccer earlier this Summer. He had a blast learning the basics of the sport. He tried his hardest out there on the field. I love this pic because you can tell he is concentrating really hard on that ball!
