Splish Splash

Miss Emalee LOVES bath time! (Don't judge that by her facial expressions...she completely stopped smiling as soon as I got the camera out... that darn flash again!) As you can see by her "roundness" she is feeling MUCH better and is getting more and more healthy each day! Thank you for your continued support and prayers!

Working Boys

We had quite a few large branches down from the ice storm. Kevin and the boys were our clean up crew! Kevin cut the logs,threw them to the boys, and then the boys loaded them (all by themselves) into their car and drove the logs to the pile and unloaded the logs. They were wiped out after that long day working!

Newest Item

I thought I would share my newest item that I am making and selling now...Little Leggies! They are basically leg warmers for babies and toddlers. They cover little knees as babies learn to crawl and keep legs warm under dresses. Any guesses as to who is wearing the dress??

Happy Heart Day

We had a very low key Valentine's Day. Cousin Ella sent the boys a box of Valentine fun. They had a BLAST with the sponge animals that grow in the water. Daddy's little Valentine was perfect as always!

Let's Go Sledding!

After a few days of iced-in we decided to break out the laundry baskets and hit some hills. (We live in Arkansas, who needs sleds?). We had a great time with our cousins, aunts, uncles, and strangers. (The strangers were the ones that had real sleds). Poor Jaxen had a bad wipe out but was ready to go again!

Ice Storm 2009

Last Monday the Ice Storm of 2009 hit us hard! I was on the phone with Sayre when I said "I hope we don't lose power because if Mom loses power she is going to come and stay with us." BOOM! Out goes our power. Little did I know that we would be out of power for the next EIGHT days and end up staying with not only my mom but Kevin's parents also. (Thank you Thank you!) We are grateful that our house did not receive any damage, just lots of tree clean up.

Update...

So it has been awhile since my last entry and that is because the action never stops here! Thankfully Emalee is doing GREAT! Her breathing is almost back to "normal" and other then a daily breathing treatment she is off all meds. She is starting to gain weight and is the roundest baby I have ever seen!! She is "talking" all the time and smiles so bright!!! My health is not so great yet. I had a relapse about two weeks ago. My throat became super swollen, 103' temp, and my tonsils were so swollen and covered in pus pockets that I literally could not swallow. However, after seeing three Drs we have a plan! It is believed that there is still bacteria in my throat from my surgery in November and I will continue to have 'relapses" until either the bacteria is killed or my tonsils are removed. The plan: I am taking antibiotics daily for the next two months and if during or after treatment I have another relapse, my tonsils will be removed. My tongue is still numb on the left side but there are stinging sensations which is a good sign. The boys are staying home from Mother's Day Out in order to avoid bringing home germs to Emalee....the days have been LONG staying at home all day but I know these days go by fast so we are tying to enjoy each and EVERY minute together! Thank you all for the prayers!!!
