Happy Valentine's Day!

     This morning we decked the kids out in they're Valentine's Day apparel and set them up on the couch to open up their goodie bags. We had gotten a book, cookies, pretzels and chocolates for each of the kids and then had bought The Jungle Book for them to share. Froggie also got her new hat this morning because I finally had time to finish it!

     Later this morning Hubby came into work for Big Brother's classroom party, which just so happened to be combined with my classroom for today. While we were waiting to start Hubby went in to say hi to Froggie and she didn't want him to put her down so he took her with him out to Big Brother's party. It was a lot of fun and I think Froggie had a lot of fun hanging out with Hubby and crashing the party.

     I'm not sure if we are doing anything tonight (other than watching The Jungle Book) and Hubby and I exchanged our gifts last night since he was impatient and couldn't wait for me to open my gift today.
     One year ago we had our first trip to Shriner's Hospital with Froggie. There were no sonograms or X-rays at that visit and we had just met Froggie's doctor. She was tiny (13 days old) and her doctor did the same hip check on her that the pediatrician's in the hospital and or family doctor had all done previously; he came to the same conclusion as her other doctor's - something was not right. So we scheduled an appointment for a sonogram and headed out, we were given a Valentine (her first!) that was made by a local elementary school student and a stuffed bear that was as big as she was! Little did I know that with that appointment began our journey towards her treatment, this blog and my desire to spread the word about Hip Dysplasia.
