Soccer Time!

I'm playing soccer again this spring. I have a different coach this time. His name is Tom. He is so much fun. We have a lot of fun at practice. We kick the ball, try to score a goal and we even play duck-duck-goose. We all try to chase Coach Tom! Here are some pictures from a game.

Papa Twin is in Heaven

Something very sad happened today. My Papa Twin passed away. He had Parkinson's disease for about 10 years. The past few years he has slowly gotten more and more sick.

Twelve days ago, Grandma needed to put him in a nursing home because she just couldn't take care of him anymore. She was getting ready to go through six weeks of radiation for breast cancer and she needed help. Daddy supported her decision and was by her side the entire time.

The past 12 days have been so hard on everyone. God needed another angel though and the only way my Papa twin would not be in any pain anymore was to go be with him. Papa is an angle now. He's watching over us now.

I miss you Papa. I love you!

Pa Pa is sick

My Pa Pa (Daddy's Dad) is sick. Grandma and Daddy had to put him in a nursing home this week. He has Parkinson's Disease and was just having a hard time getting around. We went and saw him yesterday. Daddy helped him drink a can of Pepsi and he ate FOUR of my oreo-like cookies. I shared with him. He was sitting in a chair with wheels because he can't walk. It was really sad. I thought when people got sick then, they'd get better. Daddy said he's not going to get better though. Does that mean he'll be like this all week?

I think since I'm three, I just don't understand all of this.

Note from the editor: Lauren actually said to Mark "So Pa Pa is never going to get better? Does that mean he'll be sick all week?" There is something so sweet and innocent about all of that. Oh to be three again.

Guess what was on the Mac Book?

You'll never guess what I saw tonight on Mommy's Mac Book? A picture of Cinderella's Castle. I could not believe it. Mommy says we are going to go there in August. OMG! It's a dream come true. I asked her where the Little Mermaid's Castle and the Pink Princess' Castle is but Mommy didn't know. She said they may not have a castle at Disney World.

I was just in awe. I could not quit looking at the picture of the castle. This is so exciting!

NO KISSING on the lips

Guess what happened today? Matty tried to kiss me -- on the LIPS! I told him "You can't kiss me on my lips - you're not my mom or dad, and we're not married." Jeez! What was he thinking? Besides, he wants to marry Jenny.

Banana Bread - YUM!

Tonight my Mom and brother were making banana bread. Brother said he needed 3/4 cup of water. I decided I could help with that. I quickly grabbed three forks from the silverware drawer. "Three-forks for the cup of water".

In Memory of Great-Grandma Nete

Something very sad happened last Sunday (January 24). My Great-Grandma Nete passed away. She was sick and God needed another angel so he took her. Mommy has been very sad. I keep telling her not to worry though because Great-Grandma is in Heaven now. That's where Glory-Bug is. That means Great-Grandma can feed Bug dog biscuits. When I say that, it makes my Mommy smile.

This is the last known picture of my Great-Grandma. It was taken on January 17, 2010.
