Alyssa is 3!!




Our little Alyssa turned 3 on Saturday. We had a party planned to take place in the backyard with a bounce house. Who knew it would be 102 degrees in the middle of May? Let's just say we spent most of the time inside with the air conditioner going non-stop. We let the kids decorate their tea cups and I made sandwiches that were cut out in heart, butterfly and flower shapes. Alyssa was very excited to open all of her presents. A few of them finally spent some time in the bounce house at 7pm when it was only 90 degrees out. Crazy!! When Alyssa was going to bed that night she was crying because she didn't want her birthday to be over. It was something she was looking forward to for so long and she was so sad it wasn't going to continue all week/ month.
Yesterday Bill and I became members of our new church. We took a 2 hour membership class. It was really good. God is doing wonderful things there and we are so excited to get more involved and make new friends.
CHOC is going for "Magnet" status this week. Please keep us in your prayers. It is a nursing excellence recognition. It is quite a bit more complicated than that but that is the just of it. We have our site visit starting tomorrow morning. They want to speak to 50% of the nurses. I'm not sure if I'll get picked or not. Scary but exciting.
May God bless you all this week!!
