Dads Surgery

Back in July while I was on vacation to Mexico my Dad had surgery on his foot. He had some ulcers that needed to be removed. The surgery went great but a few days after he developed infection in his foot which put him in a lot of pain and was very very sick. When I called home to get an update on him he was not doing well and I started to worry. We would be coming home from our trip in 3 days but that was the longest 3 days of my life. I was so worried. A home nurse was coming to my dads house to administer an IV and took take care of the infection. Man my dad has been through a lot. Just a couple of weeks ago my dad was able to put on normal shoes and the Dr. confirmed that the infection was gone. He was a trooper and had his foot wrapped in pink for his granddaughters.

Last week my dad had to go in for eye surgery because his eye was bleeding so they had to go in and burn where it was bleeding to get it to stop. If the blood got into the retina it would cause him to go blind. The surgery went really well and he said he hasn't seen this good for years. Wow!! Another Miracle that we are thankful for. Hopefully this will be the last thing for a little bit. Love You Dad!!!

Saying Good Bye

Well last night was a really hard night for me and my family. We went up to my moms house to say good bye as my brother is moving to Las Vegas today. I didn't think it would be so hard but it was a very emotional night. Roderick had the hardest time of all. He was crying so hard and it was so cute to see Cody and Roderick sitting together with Cody trying to calm him down to let him know that it would be OK. Telling him that he could get on the webcam and talk to him anytime he wanted too. Thank goodness for technology these days. We all cried the whole way home. Roderick woke up this morning and said that he missed his uncle so much already. They have such a special relationship which I am so thankful for. I can't wait to go visit them and see there new house. We are missing you already and you haven't even been gone 24 hours yet. We love you so much and wish you the best of luck in your new adventure.

Naylor Family Reunion

My family really wanted to get together this year and go on a family outing before my brother moved to Las Vegas but with all of our schedules we weren't able to. So my mom decided that she would have a camp out at her house. We put the trailer up in her driveway and all slept over in it. It was a lot of fun. The kids thought it was great. We went to Cherry Hill and had a entertaining round of miniature golf with all the kids. We had a great breakfast the next morning and then put up the big blue water toy for the kids to play on all day long. It was really fun to be with my family and get the kids together one last time before my brother moves away. We are going to miss them so much.

First Grade

I can't believe that Roderick has started first grade. He has grown up so fast. He has Mrs. Rogers this year. He says the best news about first grade is that all of his friends are in his class. He started back in July for 3 weeks and then went of track. He started back on track today. He was so excited to get back to school. I can't wait to see what this year brings and what he learns. Having kids in school sure gets my brain thinking and re learning again. I often ask myself did I ever learn this in school? It has been an adjustment for me and his sisters having him gone all day long. I sure miss him. The girls start asking where he is about an hour after he is gone and ask me if the school has a phone so they can call and talk to him. I love that when we pick him up the girls run to him with wide open arms and he gives the best hugs ever.
