Playing with Water.

We went to a new park with our good friend Chris and Brandy and their son Braxton this past Friday evening. This park has a water fountain that you can play in. After we convinced Jonah that it would be lots of fun he and Braxton ran and played and of course got soaked. Maddie , we could not convince to play in the water. She instead wanted to play with the really big cup. She even shared with Jonah when he came over for a drink.

A very special visit.

About a week and a half after we moved into our new house we had some very special house guests. I had the privilege of meeting my biological Aunt Sandy and her husband Jerry. Sandy is the first blood relative ( other than my children) that I have met and hopefully will be followed by more. We had a wonderful time getting to know them and looking through all of the pictures. The kids really took to them as well.

Moved and lovin it =)

The week after Daniel walked, we closed on our house and began one of the most traumatic moving experiences I have had, but we are in our new house and lovin it an that is all that matters. We have spent these past few weeks unpacking boxes and just getting situated. The first few days were interesting. You know it is bad if you are stirring macaroni and cheese with scissors and also serving them with scissors because you can not find the silver ware. hee hee. This past weekend we painted the porch as you see in the picture. I just LOVE green so, of course we had to have green in the color scheme.

The "MASTER"

Daniel has done it! He finally finished his Masters in Music Education and Walked this Past Saturday May 10 2008. Congratulations Daniel. He is picutred with his brother David and Mother Charlotte. Below we managed to get John in the picture , Davids kids Cade and Edan, and Grandmother.

Maddie's MRI

As many of you know Maddie is now 19 months old and is still not walking. She is however pulling up on her own as of the last 3 weeks. Last Tuesday May 6th she went to Huntsville Women's and Children's Hospital for an MRI to see if see had any brain damage from high blood pressure in the womb caused from my pre-eclampsia. The part of the brain most vulnerable to blood pressure changes is the part that controls mobility. She had to be put to sleep for the MRI. She did really well. She had to go with out food or drink for almost 12 hours. That is hard for a little one. Her arm was bandaged up like this so they could give her the anesthesia. We are proud to report that the MRI was clear and that there is no damage.

The Movin Dance.

We have finalized paper work on a contract for our house so I am now ready to post pictures of the house we have had a contingency contract on and will hopefully start to move into on the 14th of May. This house may look small from the picture but it has over 3,300 heated square feet for the kids to romp around in.

Baby Blues Eyes!

I was going through our pictures and came across this one of Jonah from Christmas of 06'. He would be about 4 months shy of turning 3. Such a sweet face and those blue eyes. I just had to share.
