23 Months & 12 Days

By Sarah
Kaelah turned 23 months old today & Danny turned 12 days old. My mind still wonders how my children ever ended up so close together in age! I remember how much Kaelah liked the doll Shannon bought her for Christmas last year & me telling Stacie there was no way I could have another child by this year but was hoping for 2010. Boy, was I wrong! Sorry, Stace!
Kaelah is doing absolutely wonderful with her new role as big sister. I couldn't be more blessed.
Speaking of Shannon, she's here visiting us from Texas. She spoils all of us by entertaining Kaelah, snuggling with Danny, buying the children presents, and helping out with making dinner or doing the dishes. It's been extra wonderful since Dan was only able to take 3 days off work this time instead of 5 & we didn't have as much time to prepare the nursery.
Thank you, Shannon!!!
Here's a picture of Kaelah being a girly girl! Somehow I don't mind pink as much and I am much more likely to dress her in a skirt or a dress now that I have a little boy. Balance to our corner of the world, I guess.
Here's our little man before heading to hospital for his PKU test. Poor guy fell asleep in the waiting room & was awakened by getting blood drawn out of his foot. That's why I took the picture before we left the house. Isn't he adorable? He has changed so much already. His collar bone seems to be almost completely healed & he is a super easy baby. I thought Kaelah was easy, but Danny takes the cake! He must be taking after my husband already. All we need to do is pay attention to him all the time & bingo -- happy boy. Kaelah was so constipated those first couple of weeks. She would scream & cry & all we could do was sing our "poop it out" song. Of course, Dan's mom laughed & said Dan was the most constipated out of her 8 children. Maybe it was just pay back. lol. I sure do like to embarass my family on this blog, don't I? I love them. Muah.

Egads, Danny is adorable!!!!! As for the pink thing, we must be kindred spirits, because I feel the same way. I even bought a pink shirt for me the other day. Carl asked me if I was feeling alright. LOL.

Happy 250th Birthday

By Sarah
Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

By Sarah
Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
