Hope your New Year is filled...

...with dreams as big as castles that are filled with sweet fairy dust!!!



These are two of the favorite gifts from Christmas. A set of blocks from Grandpa Helsing that will allow our boy with the neverending imagination to build just about anything his heart desires and a fairy outfit (and tent) from Great Grammie Ferra that is our little diva's heart's desire.

Wishing you all the best in the New Year!

Merry Christmas!

From our house to yours!

My boy can't wait.

Today we celebrate a year surgery free. We canceled a surgery that was scheduled for this past Monday. It wasn't critical...it can wait...this Christmas we will celebrate without bandages and pain meds. It can wait because my boy can't. He's growing up and he deserves to remember a Christmas that includes Santa and no pain. It will wait.

Really...that long!

Has it really been that long since I posted!?! Wow. Life for the Carnahan's has been a little crazy to say the least. We celebrated Chloe's 2nd birthday, I underwent a schlew of medical tests (the results of which I'll recieve at an appointment today), the kids and I headed to Illinois to visit family for Thanksgiving, I spent a long weekend in South Beach Miami with friends, we are preparing to sell our house in February to return to "country" living, and we haven't done a lick of Christmas shopping. That's life in a nut shell. Things are going really well. I cannot believe how quickly this year has flown by...somewhere in the beginning of 2007 I said that I felt like this was going to be our year and without a doubt it has. The kids are both doing really well. This is the most stable I have felt in a long time. I suppose that has led to the lack of posts...everything seems to be coming up roses for the most part. Somebody pinch me. Kidding! I'm just relishing in the loveliness of my life...it's busy but momentarily wonderful and I'm counting my blessings. A friend shared a saying with me a few days ago that I've been rolling around since then...Love the life you live. Do I ever.
