New Sats

Blake went to the cardiologist today to get a 3-month check on his oxygen saturation. If you'll remember, in October, I reported his sats were in the low 80s (which is still well within the normal range for someone with his kind of repair, but low for him). So, they asked to see him back in 3 months just to check his sats again, and the good news is that they are back up to the mid-80s (84-86 to be exact). Which is great news because it means his repair is still working well for him and his heart is working exactly as it is supposed to.

Fun at Zilker

The family took a trip to Zilker to soak in a little local fun.

The seals were a big hit!

Who knew the Zilker Zepher was such an adventure?!

Lovely downtown view from the train.

Boom Boom Pow

Mason has a wonderfully fun teacher that also happens to be a cheerleading coach. Well, recently he was putting together a routine to the Black Eyed Peas "Boom, Boom, Pow," and Mason decided she was in love with this song. Now every time we are in the car she asks me to play it. I guess she's a fast learner because now she runs all over the house dancing and singing Fergie's part of the song. For those that know the story, this is the 2010 version of Tiffany's "Let's Get Physical." Let me just tell you, I think it's hysterical, Bryan is horrified! Enjoy!

Happy Thoughts

We are overrun with germs and illness at our house. Although I do not see how Blake could be sick anymore after today; he ate 5 clementine oranges and half a pineapple (he has about 5 days' supply of Vitamin C running through his system). Anyway, I was doing an image search for something today, and came across this illustration. It made me happy, and I wanted to share it.

The Galligans Take Cali

We're back from our California adventure. Although the game was a disappointment, we are proud of the Horns for playing with such heart and coming back so strong with our second string; makes us excited for next year. I will post all of our photos over to the left, but I had to share the highlight of our trip.

As we were leaving LA, we are in the impossible security line at LAX, I am taking my shoes off and I am turned around looking at Bryan. I do a double take, and whisper to Bryan, "Um, I'm, pretty sure that is VY behind you." He discreetly turns and tells me I'm wrong. Then I see his boarding pass, "Um, no, I'm pretty sure I'm not." Security finally makes him get off the phone before going through the metal detector, so of course I have to ask for a photo. VY responds, "Oh yeah baby, just give me a sec." Classic! Evidence below.

Vince is just slightly taller than the Galligans!
