Christmas

we survived the holiday. We visited my Uncle Hal and Aunt Tina on Christmas Eve, Eve. Then to Jan and Janzens on Christmas Eve. Then were invited to Shanna's Parents home with Shanna and Larry, and then to Karen and Bryans house to visit with them and Sandy.
Santa brought Kayleen a BB gun, so daddy looks forward to showing her how to use it.

We are hoping Kayleens b

We are hoping Kayleens behavior will continue to improve. She starts Counseling at school when she goes back in January. There have been so many changes this year, and with Morgan moving to Texas she has another change to adapt to. Delaney is just growing and watching her sister.

I got to speak to my Cousin Ramie today who I haven't spoken with in a while. I almost cried after we talked. I miss my cousins. Talked to my brother Chris and my Nephew Eric and niece Shea Christmas day.

Merry Christmas

We hope everyone ha a great Christmas, Kayleen called santa yesterday. we have not been good about pictures or seeing santa at the mall. Maybe next year.

take care talk to you soon

still in shock.

It is a shock that i have 2 children. i still sit here amazed at the fact that we have a new blessing in our lives. I never pictured myself having 2 children. Kayleen is an easy kid. With the addition of Delaney, she feels a bit out of place.

I guess its still shock of having another baby, when the other child is 5 years old and independent. But as of late she is not as independent as usual. Hopefully the whole family can make the adjustments of having a new family member quickly. Delaney is a little poop machine. She goes more than I remember Kayleen going. She goes before and after she eats. She still worry's me at night so I am not sleeping as much as I should be at night. I get a solid 3 hrs from 6-9 am and on and off all night.

kindergarden

Kayleen's first day of kindergarden was Wednesday. She likes her new teacher and her class mates. She is knows her name and is learning lowercase letters. She had been writing in capital letters.

She loves her baby sister. She loves to hold her and talk to her.

Welcome Delaney

This picture of Doug and Delaney taken just a few minutes before her first little episode. Delaney was born at 9:36 in the morning of July 22.

Delaney had a issue in the hospital and once at home turning blue. She is fine now. We think this is now behind us. It is fairly common for children born with a c-section. The amniotic fluid in the belly is trying to come out an

d she would hold her breath instead of breath when this would happen.

Colleen had a c-section and we were released to go home Sunday afternoon. Kayleen was happy that her parents would be at home with her. Monday Colleen developed a headache, loss of hearing in left ear, nausea, and sore neck. After making a couple of calls the only cure for this would be to go back to the hospital for a proceedure. Since Delaney had issues breathing and she would have to have formula while I was gone, I wanted Doug to stay with her. So I had a friend drive me to the hospital, I am not allowed to drive for 2 weeks. I had an epidural put into my spine and blood drawn from my arm and put into the spine. My spinal fluid had leaked and that was causing my symptoms. I was scared and sad to have to leave Doug and the Girls at home but I really didn't want Delaney in the Emergency Room with sick people and Kayleen was not wanting to give up her daddy.
We had our first visit with the pediatrician yesterday and they will see her again next week. I have to go later this week to follow up with my doctor because of the spinal patch.

Doug is being the best Daddy, he has been taking Kayleen to school in the mornings and picking her up. Today he did a bit of shopping. Holding Delaney as much as he can.
