Hapy New Year!!

Everyone is finally getting better around my house. I think that the RSV is gone. Both girls still have a cough, but the doctor said that it could last for up to a month. My mom is actually keeping both girls tonight for the first time, and Kyle and I actually get to go out and come home and sleep all night.


Christmas was good for us. Santa was good to Kendall, and she has hibernated in her room since Christmas day playing with all of her new toys. I haven't loaded my Christmas pics yet, but I will post some when I get that done. Addison has discovered that she likes to be held all of the time, so I don't get to sit down very often and do anything.


Well.....here are some pics that I have had for a while but couldn't post. Thanks Carrie for helping me out.

The Picture thing

My sis helped me with the picture thing. Here is a pic of Daddy with his girls.

Here We Go AGAIN!!

What a week! We have all been sick, which is hard enough. I took Kendall to the Doctor on Tuesday and they told me that it was just a cold and not to worry. She got worse...I took her back today and they tell me she has an ear infection in both ears, a sinus infection, and she tested positive for RSV, a severe respiratory infection. I had to leave Addison with my Mom for the weekend because she can't be around Kendall. They said that if Addison ends up with it, she will most likely end up in the hospital with a ventilator....that is not what you want to hear about your child! Pray for me please!!!! Hopefully everyone will be well before Santa's big visit.

Wow...What a Week!

Our first week at home was definately an adjustment. We are getting in to the routine though. Addison is still sleeping fairly well, and Kendall seems to be getting back to normal. She absolutely loves her little sister. We had an incident on Wednesday with Kendall at preschool. She was bitten for the first time ever....on her face. I had to fight the instinct to get totally upset, and remind myself that this kind of thing happens, and that it could have just as easily been my child that bit someone....but when you see your precious little girl come home with someone elses teeth imprinted right below her eye all of your logic goes out the window.
I also attempted to take pictures of the girls to put on Christmas cards. My sister is a professional photographer, but I didn't want to take a 2 week old to a germ infested studio during flu season, so I figured I could do just as good of a job myself....I was mistaken. The pictures weren't horrible but by no means professional. I am sure my sister will laugh at them, but anyone with kids will understand that it was a pretty big task to get a 2 year old and a 2 week old to pose for a picture. I am going to attempt to post some of the pics, along with one on our first bite.

Okay...the pictures aren't cooperating again.....I will play with it later and see what happens. I think my computer hates me!

Baby Addison is here!

Addison Olivia was born at 2:26 pm on November 27th. She weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces and was 21 inches long. We came home on Thursday and have been trying to adjust to life with a newborn again. She has slept most of the time, and rarely cries, which is nice.....but I am sure that it will not last for much longer. Kendall is adjusting great. She lays down beside of Addison on the floor and talks to her, and even tries to share her toys. If Addison cries and I don't run immediatley to her, Kendall is quick to remind me that I need to pick her up. I finally figured out the pictures! Now I can work on moving them around and adding captions. This is Kendall and Addison in the hospital. As you can see Kendall is very proud.
