My knee and a Felicity story
So this is my knee post surgery. Â I have been laid up since Saturday, although I am feeling much better today.
So on to the Felicity story. Â She woke up last night at around midnight and came in to wake me up to tell me she had to go potty. Â She normally doesn’t do that, she normally just goes in her diaper and gets changed in the morning. Â I’m happy that she is pottying, but not happy she is waking me up. Â Anyway, I know I have to wake up and make sure she gets her diaper back on, because she never puts it on herself. Â I wait about 10 minutes, and get up, and walk into her room and ask her if she put her diaper back on. Â She smiles and says “Yes Daddy”, all proud of herself. Â I am surprised, and pat her bottom over the blanket to make sure, and sure enough there is a diaper down there. Â The next morning I am surprised with a urine covered child, from head to toe. Â She had put the diaper on inside out. Â =)

Felicity Said She Looked Like Little Red Riding Hood
Daddy said he took off like 20 silly bands, apparently he missed a yellow one though. LOL.
The best part about Santa was the cookie according to the girls.

Seporah Owns More High Heels Than Her Mother
Not that that was a difficult accomplishment considering I own none. But it’s still kinda funny to think about. Steven took the girls out and got the Christmas outfits to go get their picture taken with Santa and apparently Seporah insisted on the black high heels to go with. They are super cute. Felicity’s were black with little frogs on them in case you were wondering.

And We’re Back
So our computer went on the fritz and it took awhile to get another one. It was really rather annoying. I’m not sure what we all did before computers. No sarcasm intended, I’m totally serious here. I NEED Hotmail, Facebook and Google. Google is amazing BTW. LOVE it. Anyways we went to Kauai and met up with my parents and my grandparents. This was the first time my grandparents had met the girls actually. So it was pretty exciting. We did some fun things and sat around and chatted a lot too.
Great-Grandpa sitting on a train. We went on tour of this plantation that told the history of some of the agriculture of Kauai. It was actually pretty interesting. The girls said the best part of this was getting out and feeding the piggies (ie the wild boars).
Grandpa Russ, Grandma Pam and Seporah at the Waimea Canyon. This scared the snot out of me. What you can’t see is the little fence directly behind Grandpa Russ and the VERY steep drop off directly behind that. Scared the snot out of me I’ll tell you what.
Daddy and Seporah laughing at a blowhole. Essentially the wave came in through these caves where there was an opening that blasted the water through the top. Making it looked like there was a whale blowing water out. The girls said it was dolphins doing it.
Behind the condo where we were staying. We got to watch the sunset over the water, it was quite beautiful to watch the sun go to sleep.
Felicity playing at the blowhole.
Great Grandma Yeske and Grandma Pam. You can definitely tell they’re mother and daughter.
And one more mother-daughter shot, just a different set.

Seporah knows ALL her colors
Felicity: Icek (they pronounce it with a k at the end for some reason) is white
Seporah: No it isn’t
Felicity: Icek is WHITE!!!
Seporah: No it isn’t
Felicity: ICEK IS WHITE!!!!!!!!!
Seporah: No, Icek is glass color
Felicity: oh. ok.

Dress Up at Target
Just in case you don’t this about me, I can totally rock a fedora or cloche. Seriously. When I’m at a store and put one on, people I’m with do a double take because I actually look good in hats. I have quit wearing them since the ones I have gotten messed up by Thing 1 and Thing 2. So I don’t usually wear them in public anymore. However I saw a huge selection of them at Target and had to try on one that was oh so cute. I really, really wanted it, but decided the black cloche with black feathers and black flower off to the side would just get ruined along with the other ones. While I’m doing this my little love bugs decide they’re going to play dress up too. The above outfit was all Seporah and if you’ll notice the big Hollywood sunglasses are over the top of her regular glasses. It was adorable. Felicity played dress up too, but my cellphone doesn’t capture extremely wiggly/running 3 year olds, only 4 year olds willing to hold still for 10 seconds.

Can Hardly Believe My Little Baby is 3 Years Old Today!

“No Felicity, I don’t want a picture of you, I want a picture of your baby.” “Oh, Ok”

Wait a minute . . . knee surgery? What knee surgery? Why? I have clearly missed this. Explanations, please.
Steven rushing - December 10, 2010
No biggie really. Basically my knee has been infected for about 15 months by a thorn I knelt on forever ago. They kept draining bloody fluid from it, several times, but it wouldn’t heal and an MRI showed that there was still wood or thorn material in my knee so they had to cut out the bursa sack over my right knee.

How very sweet! It sounds like she was so proud of herself. Sorry there was a mess to clean up
but glad she is working towards becoming even more independent 
Hope your knee is healing really well and fast.

Sounds like she is realy growing up. Gosh I would love to see them. Maybe April or May? Is there a marathon on the Island about then?
Please keep us updated on how the knee is doing, My knees have been giving me problems lately as well. but mostly just because I live and work on the second floor and there is no elivater. My poor knees are not used to having to work for a living, On the good side I have lost 17 lb since I came to Okinawa in early October.
