here is leila as my blond haired blue eyed native american beauty cutie patootie. i dont get it. the whole blonde hair, blue eyed child to 2 brown haired, brown eyed people, (me being native american) but i sure love it.
Today I am writing to ask for your
prayers... and maybe your encouragement if you have the time. Tomorrow
morning, my precious Leila will have an outpatient procedure & be
put under anesthesia for a massive amount of dental work that has to be
done. She has something called caries disease, which is basically just a
rapid progressive form of tooth decay, so she didn't (nor did my other 2
kids) just get cavities from juice and cookies, but her front teeth
completely crumbled to nothing and the rest of her mouth needs a lot of
work as well. Because she is so little and the amount of time it will
take, we have to do this in the hospital.
I
am asking you for your prayers... of course the first thing I heard
when the dentist was talking to me about this was "of course, I have to tell you
about the risks involved with anesthesia." So, I have been
relying on tears a lot regarding this as opposed to the peace of God, Yet I also know his peace will pass all understanding! I NEED his peace,
his comfort during this simple procedure, (yet a struggle for me...)
Wrap Me In Your Arms, Lord!
and MOST OF ALL, please pray for Leila's protection! Please. I sincerely am asking you... I know Jesus will never leave nor forsake any of us... even little Leila =)
When
I found out I was pregnant with her, I actually cried because I was in
such shock and wasn't really sure I wanted another baby... but this
little girl is the light of my life. She is sooo precious and silly and
best of all, she LOVES to "NUGGLE" mommy...
here are some precious pictures of her...
This was my chance to brag on my beautiful baby Leila.. or Lallies as we call her =)

|
| as you can imagine, now that leila is 3 years old, these moments happen less and less.. so i am glad i captured these. dont get me wrong, they still have lovey moments, but they are tied equally with hitting, name calling and tattling... |
|
| i am pretty sure every baby has one of these phases. am i wrong, mommies? whats a baby without a mullet phase? |
|
|
|
| i dont know that LEILA was ever really into rock and roll, especially when she was 1yr, but this moment makes us want to believe its true. |
|
|
|
| doesnt every baby have a phase where they have a very unique smile? i think all 3 of my kids did. it was usually the scrunchy nose smile, and if you didnt capture it in the 2 month period they did it, then you lost it forever. leila had that as a baby, but last fall she went through this "scrunch my face into my body into my hands" phase... and there's no other words that come into my mind when i see this photo, but benjamin button... |
|
|
| well, gee mom, i know i was cute when i was 7 months.. but look at me now! |
|
| the obsession phase. another one EVERY kid goes through. dora was a major one. the insanity of screams every time she would see a dora sticker or balloon or shirt or birthday card were crazy. one day i actually had a lady make a disgusted sound at leila when she got excited about a dora birthday card! sheesh, it wasnt like she was throwing a public temper tantrum, she was excited to see her bff, dora... but more recently its minnie mouse. she loves her some minnie.. and when she saw minnie at disneyland, her eyes and heart (im sure) lit up immediately~ it was so special because she was the only kid with us on the trip. Just mommy daddy, leila... and minnie! |
|
|
| sorry, i just needed a reason to put this up... |
|
| ok, mom...i will be a flower girl, but i'm not gonna be happy about it... we are missing a kid in the second pic, unfortunately, otherwise it would have made a perfect christmas card. |
Thank YOU for your prayers!!!

Sending love your way! My baby (who is 6, but still my baby) had to have surgery at 11 months old to remove a Branchial Cleft Cyst in her neck. It was so scary for me...I was a wreck, like mental patient wreck;) So you are not alone in feeling this way, momma!! Everything went great for us and I know it will for you guys too!! Thinking of you both!
She is SO adorable...Love all these pics!! xoxo
Many prayers sent your way that everything goes smoothly! I am going in tomorrow too to have wisdom teeth removed...I will definitely be thinking of you all tomorrow

She is so stinkin' beautiful! You are have prayers coming your way- for your precious girl's protection, for the doctor's hand to be lead by God, and for your hearts to be consoled from now until the surgery is over.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I am sure as a mom this must be so tough to go through and you must be so worried. It is always hard to see those we love be in any kind of pain or danger. Best of luck to you!
