The Snell's MIA, But Now Were Back

Many of you may have been wondering why there haven't been any new posts lately. Well I just have been to busy to even look at the computer, and then when I do my connection is so slow I get frustrated that I turn off the darn thing. So here comes a huge update on all of us.
This pic shows Arianna trying her best to escape her rocking chair.

Matt celebrated his 32nd birthday on Feb 25, happy b-day! We celebrated our 11th anniversary on Feb 26, we went out to dinner without the kids on March 1st to Log Haven, great food and nice atmosphere, thanks to my mom for watching the girls. We went camping over the weekend of the 9th to Crystal Hot Springs. We had a great time even though the weather was threatening. Kenna had a blast driving her Jeep all over the place. She didn't want to leave the nice hot pool, but we had to because my parents were watching Arianna, she couldn't get in the pool cause of her heart and meds, my parents had to leave to help my sis out. Arianna couldn't get enough of being outside and would get cranky when it was time to go inside cause it was getting cold out. She just loves the sun and the cool breeze.

So far we have all stayed healthy and can't wait for the weather to get even warmer, I love the out doors, and we all love to go camping.

We went to our Cardio appt yesterday. Arianna's heart is doing great, they did an ECHO and were able to see so much detail, even though she was wiggly. Her PH does not seem to be getting worse, her lung blood pressure is at about 50, which is pretty good for her. Her PDA, ASD, and VSD have not changed, but they are not affecting her adversely at this time. She has a great heart squeeze. We have got her back to baseline O2, 1/4 daytime 1/2 night.

She is happier then ever and loves to roll as far as her O2 line will allow. She has succeeded in knocking her chair over while she is still strapped in. I left her alone for just a few mins and the next thing I hear is a crash, I run in to find her and the chair upside down, and she is just smiling. She about gave me a heart attack.

Kenna is doing really well in school, she is her teachers biggest helper. She has learned to read all her letters and is starting on words now. They have begun to learn their songs for the pre-school program in May. She is starting to enjoy ballet more and is learning the dance for the spring recital. She has also been learning to ride her big girl bike, but we need a bigger helmet and so she doesn't want to go to far from home without one. Kenna and I will be going on a date, we have tickets to see Princess's on Ice, thanks IHH and Christina. We really needed to get sometime alone and this is a great way.

I got myself a new haircut thanks to Brynn, I am still figuring out how to style it but I love that it is way easier to manage. I have also lost 10lbs, not by working at it, I think I lost it while Arianna was in the hospital just now noticed that my clothes were not fitting any more, so I stepped on the scale and got a big surprise. I am going to keep up the momentum and work at losing the rest of my baby weight.

So that's what has been going on in our little world. I will try harded to keep up with posting.
