Getting Outdoors on the Weekends

Emma Loves Trains...
So we took her to the Irvine Park to ride the Choo-Choo Train.
She had such a great time and would have loved to have
never gotten off the train.
She is still signing "train" letting us know she wants to go on it again.

All Aboard the Choo-Choo Train!


Waiting for the train to go, go, go...

This Weekend we went to the Heart Surgery Reunion Party.
It was so nice to see some of the staff that cared for Emma before and after her heart surgery. Emma had fun seeing the therapy dogs, doing "Spin art" for the first time and making crafts with Mommy and Daddy.
Doing Spin-art with Daddy...
Showing Mommy (and the camera) her finished product.
She was so proud, and so are we...

Hearts and Crafts with Mommy & Daddy

After the Heart Reunion, we went to have dinner with the family at Uncle David's restaurant Jalapenos Grill. We had a nice time eating yummy food and spending time with the fam.

Dear Friends,

This is for three reasons (1) to protect the privacy of the family (2) to protect our site from legal issues (3) to take a step towards becoming a foundation. It is very important to us that a family has the choice to have their site posted and we apologize for not taking this step sooner.
We know many of you are facing serious situations at the moment and we apologize for adding yet another burden to your plate. It is our hope you understand that we would not be doing this if it was not necessary. We are asking EVERY family that would like to remain on the site respond to this email by emailing back to Laura: laurainsem@yahoo.com a copy of the registration form completed.

If you never wanted to be on the list or didn't even know you were on it, I apologize deeply. It was never our intention to hurt you in any way or to take away your right to privacy. This is the reason we are doing this now, as we recognize how out of control the site became. We have always had good intentions but we know good intentions is not enough. Please contact Laura if you would like to discuss this further.
