Scarlett's Birthday and Other Stuff

On July 31st, my baby girl turned 4! Since we had just spent a week at Rosemary Beach, we just had a small party here at home.



Scarlett picked out the rainbow cake.



I don't know what she wished for, but I sure hope it came true!

All the little guests liked the chickens.






July 31st is also Malice's birthday...she's one year old now! Jon made her a special doggy birthday cake with peanut butter frosting.

And we've already started another school year...the summer flew by so fast! Savannah is now in second grade, and she picked a fabulous outfit for her first day.



Can't start a new school year without fab new shoes....

We went to LeBohneur last month for Scarlett's surgery. Here's our little patient in her hospital gown.



She was such a good sport, but she started getting cranky after several hours of waiting. Actually, we were all getting pretty cranky. We'd waited all day. Finally, someone from the surgical team came out and told us she'd be going back in just a few minutes. Not too long after that, they came back and told us we'd have to reschedule.



Needless to say, we weren't happy. But we didn't have much choice in the matter, so we left. Scarlett is going back to have her surgery on Wednesday. So everyone say a prayer for our little sweetheart.

I'll end with this pic of Savannah the artist. Mimi and Pappi gave her an easel and paints, and she had a ball painting Saturday afternoon.
