Santa and Friends


The girls with santa....Isabel was keeping her eye on him :0)

Logan, Jacob, Alexa, Coralie, Isabel

We met some friends at the mall today to take pictures with Santa! This was the first chance we have had to hang out with Logan and Alexa (who both have SMA type 1 like Isabel) and their families.

Logan and Isabel had fun watching a movie while we all ate lunch. They are too cute! After we ate we all went to build a bear and made some adorable Christmas animals. Isabel made a penguin elf and Coralie made a moose.


Isabel did not want to take a nap when we got home, she wanted to stare at the doll that Alexa gave her. It is a cabbage patch baby named Izabella and Coralie got one named Cora. Cute!


Cori didn't want to take a nap either (surprise surprise!) she wanted to stare out the window and watch some kids play!

B4SMA


Isabel got this beautiful blanket from an organization called B4SMA (Blankets for SMA Kids). The blankets are made by MJ who has SMA type 1 and her caregiver Brenda. MJ is amazing. She is 20 years old and a junior in college. Anyone who knows anything about SMA knows this is amazing! We are so grateful to her for contacting us and sending this cuddly blanket to Isabel. She is truely an angel!

Quick update....


My poor little Izzy is in the hospital again :( with the same infection she had in october. She was flown by AirEvac to Phoenix Children's Hospital on Thursday and they finally identified the infection today so she is starting on anitbiotics and once she starts to improve we should be able to finish those up at home (or our 2nd home...grandma's house!) Although it's never good to have Isabel in the hospital we have had a good time getting to know the Felix family whose little daughter Alexa (just turned 1!) also has SMA type 1 and is in the hospital right now too. Hopefully she will go home tomorrow! She is so adorable and just reminds me so much of Isabel when she was that age. Coralie has been having a fun time with her aunts and grandmas and we are so thankful to them for taking such good care of her for us!
