Was the subject of an e-mail from my Mom. I just opened the e-mail and it informed me that we have been misspelling her title. I LOVE my Mom. She cracks me up. She is amazing, and OH SO FUNNY! It took her almost a year after Kaylee was born to pick her title. γιαγιά is Greek for Grandmother. She wants all her grandchildren (so far just the 2) to call her Grandma in a different language. Since Abeula was taken by her Mom she chose γιαγιά. So far Kaylee has it easy. She wants poor Regan to call her Babushka!

Which is Russian. Hmm. wonder what languages the future grandchildren will get landed with (thought bubble)…..

German: Oma (“Oh-mah”)
Chinese: Ama (“Ah-mah”)
Mandarin: Nainai
Finnish: Isoäiti
Arabic: Teta (tay-tuh)
Portuguese: Avó
Korean: Halmoni (“hal-muh-nee”)
Italian: Nonna
Bulgarian: Baba
Welsh: Mam-gu (Southern Welsh for Grandmother)
Nain(Northern Welsh for Grandmother)
Slovenian: Babica (bàbitsa)

Healing

Kaylee just had her surgical followup appointment this morning. She is healing up nicely. Still freaks out when we ask to see her belly, but that’s to be expected for a while. She has not mentioned that it hurts for the last several days. So we are pleased that she is likely pain free, or close to it. It’s amazing how fast children heal. My Dad and little sister had the same hernia repair in the same spot and it took them over a month to start feeling better. My Dad just couldn’t believe that when he saw her less than 24 hrs post surgery she was up and playing with her cousins. I was shocked also. I suppose I figured (even though Doc said otherwise) after seeing Dad and Sam go through the same that she’d be out of commission for longer than a day. We are so very happy and blessed that she is recovering so VERY fast.

We cannot decide which of these family photos to blow up for the living room wall. So I’d like some help please. Let me know if you like the first or second photo. I also put up the children’s individual photos that we picked. Jon picked the location and my sweet Dad took the photos. We got tons of great photos to choose from, but these are our favorites.

After seeing Regan get photos all by him self, Kaylee was only too happy to sit and smile. She is growing up so fast.
