It is so amazing how fast the time goes. Arianna has grown into such a little girl, with a fun personality and a little bit of diva attitude. I just love her so much. Antonio has gotten so big and in fact is almost as tall as Arianna even though he is two years younger. He is such a little love bug and loves to play. Here are a couple pics from the past few days. I miss my husband like crazy, but having this time with my family truly does make this the happiest place on earth. ;)

The Happiest Place on Earth
Wednesday night I flew into Orlando to meet my parents, my sister and the kids for a vacation. (My brother actually flew in today.) It will be a quick trip, no doubt, but it will be so good. It has been almost a year since I have been able to hug and kiss those kidos...way too long. Plus it is good to have my sister's company. She has always been a stability in my life and not having her around these past few years has been an adjustment. Thank God for Levi. While he can't replace my sister he is my best friend and takes care of me just as my sister always has.

The Price of Victory
Last night was the second night of a two-night tournament for my women's volleyball league. (We won on the first night and advanced to the second round last night.) Last night we won the first of our matches (VB is played in matches with the best 2 out 3 games) which advanced us to the championship match. All the ladies on my team were awesome - diving, falling and just plain hustling around the court so that in the end we won!
This morning I woke up to an injury. Somehow during one or both of the matches I did something to my knee. It was a crazy pain I have never felt before...what a nice reminder that I am no longer 18 and invincible. I can walk with a slight limp but bending my knee is not something that is getting done today. What a bummer. I am hoping that it is just a strained tendon :| Levi and I are both a little nervous that I could have torn something. If that's the case this will put my VB days away, for a little while at least. It was worth it! :D Those games were so much fun and the team we played in the championship match was a group of younglings. They were easily 18-20 year olds that did not give up or quite. It was a great win and my injury is simply the price of victory! I'd do it again in a heartbeat. ;)
A quick update...
I know some of you have been wondering about our Champers and I am so sorry that I have neglected to update you. He is doing so much better and in fact is back to his old self. He jumps like crazy when he thinks that we are forgetting him, his tail goes a million miles a minute when he sees Levi and he is very quick to let us know when he is hungry - which is always. The whole ordeal with him being sick was so hard because he is our "kid" and we could not imagine our family as complete without him. Thank you all for your loving words and your prayers.
