St. Apollonia, ora pro nobis

November 10, 2020 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Boys Leave a Comment

Last night we had an unexpected urgent need with his older brother. 🏥 Everything worked out and the ER doc was able to care for him with an uneventful visit. Praise God!

Now our focus returns to this Lil’ Man. His much needed dental work was scheduled for three different appointments. 🦷

His first treatment was rough and he loss consciousness for what seemed like eternity.

Yesterday, was his second appointment for treatment but he was uncooperative. He was sent home with a partially numbed mouth and required consolation the remainder of the day.

We’re hoping that he will have an easier time today and allow the necessary work to be done.

In your charity, please offer a prayer for him and his dentist. 🙏🏼

Sts. Apollonia, Michael, and Andrew Avellino — orate pro nobis. ➕

**UPDATE — we will have to consider other options for him since he was unable to have treatment, again.

Big Boy

1st hair cut

Mama sat me down in brother’s chair.

She went for the shinny scissors while daddy went for the sticky sweets.

Daddy gave me a lollipop. Mama showed me the tools.

I had no fear and put up no fight.

My sissies and brother stood by my side.

Then it happened, everything was clear and I had no more long hair to grin and bear.

All were smiling with joy at the sight of me becoming a big boy!

Ring the Alarm!!

August 20, 2009 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Boys, Happy Birthday, Papi

Papi loves it. He hasn’t slept in it yet, I’m not ready.

When we picked it up from our friend’s house he was home sleeping. My DH couldn’t wait for him to see the surprise. Papi took a double look as he walked down the stairs. He smiled from ear to ear when he realized it was his.

I guess we could have saved it until his birthday (next Mon). Oh well, Happy (early) Birthday!
