Izzy, Sportsmanship, and Life

Hi all! Isn't it just a beautiful morning?!

Well I have to say I was very excited that the Giants won the superbowl, though I was on the edge of my seat! I was so glad Eli Manning got MVP too! Now both brothers have it! Sweet! What a thing to share with one of your siblings! Talk about sweet success and talent!

So, Isabella was in the hospital again last night! For now they ruled out asthma which is so great! She no longer has pneumonia but now it's just a virus. The weird thing is, the doctors have no idea what virus it is now. I mean she's ran a temp for over 8 days! Though there are times that she is just the happiest baby and her smile makes your whole day all better, even if in that moment everything was awful! Somehow it all seems to melt away and disappear when she looks at you and smiles her sweet smile! So yes, I am one happy mommy! Yesterday morning her fever broke for a short time so we danced and sang and she smiled and cooed then she giggled! It was so cute! Her very first laugh! It has a light gingle to it and floated in the air like that of a soft angel! It was only once but I'll never forget that sound and can't wait to share in many many more with her!

So anyhow this morning we are going to my school to get books and get it all taken care of! I am so excited to start and yet who knows what God has for me, for us these next few months! It'll be hard to get away!

Meanwhile I am trying to teach my son sportsmanship. He decided he was NOT playing ball cuz his sister couldn't so he threw a fit and said he would not go. Oh but he went! I told him even if he sits on the bench he would be there to support his team. I want him learning now that it's never ok to just quit. You stay and ride it out and support your team. That it takes practice to get good and you have to work at it. He was not thrilled to sitting on that bench but I think he is learning that you don't give up you stick with it. He has a great coach that keeps encouraging him. So Izzy and I sat and watched the game and I put my camera away. Maybe next Sat. I will be able to take pics. Meanwhile his coach is going to give Alexis one more chance to play. He said maybe it'll help Mike get the courage to play in the games. HMMM! I do know Izzy was mesmerized by the ball. Her head would bounce with it and she kept her eyes on it the whole game even when it rolled right by her which was hilarious! Now some say why let them even play at this age? Well because it teaches them at a young age what sportsmanship is about and they can start to find out what they are good at and what they would love to do. It gives them the chance to get out there and spread their wings even if they aren't NBA Pros! LOL Besides it helps them find something of their own with Izzy here now! I once asked him when we first started dating a year ago why he had his daughter in everything, and he said cuz she likes it. I didn't understand it. Not until now. And now it's reversed lol! But in my case it helps my older two have something of their own that is special. That people are there for them, not the baby. So in a sense I am glad I met him, cuz I wouldn't have my kids in everything right now If I hadn't. Besides I am thinking about joining a class during their practices. We shall see!

Anyhow, that's our life right now! It may not be that exciting to you all, but to me it's just enough for now!

Sure I get the questions all the time of why finish school, and don't do this and that and definitely don't do medicine, but you know what? I'll do whatever it is I fall into. We all have a passion and a calling. I have always wanted to do medicine. Always. I use to want to be a plastic surgeon for Operation Smile and do it for free for families in need for burn victims and the like, but I am not sure I want to do plastics anymore. I am not even sure what I want to do anymore. But something. So for now, I am getting my degree in Bio and I'll go from there.

Well, this is my life. Our life! As the kids grow, as Izzy grows and goes through all her firsts, I'll write about them! The one first I am not looking forward to with any of my kids is their first heartbreak! Sigh..... Though I'm the expert at having that happen to me. So maybe I can help spare them a little!

Take Care Everyone!
