More Pics

We had a great week! Especially celebrating Valentines Day with our kids and partying with our family for our birthdays. (Teri's is the 14th, and Earl's is the 21st.) We really are lucky to live so close to Teri's parents and siblings. They are always game to come over and eat dinner and celebrate!

Cute Kids

Just wanted to share some pictures of my cute kiddos. Some of them are relatively recent, others are from the summer. I want to post regularly to my blog, but I'm not always sure what to say. So, let the pics speak for me!

Thanks Mindy and Jamie for the cute stories you have posted of your everyday life with your kids! I love that mine isn't the only madcap house on the planet! You guys make me feel so 'normal'! Not like I'm in competition to be the best blog writer or picture editor!! Its just so much fun to share our life and pictures. I definitely need the creative outlet!

Mindy, notice the pics of the girls in their Christmas pjs? I am sending copies to you in an email. I think they look darling! Thanks!

Thanks everyone. I love keeping in touch!

11 Years Ago

Spencer was born 11 years and one day ago. 1997. Wow! He is such a mature young man. We love him to pieces. He is wonderful with his siblings. Who would have known that he was going to be the ultimate big brother. He is so accepting of the situations that life has thrown his way. Brayden needs Spencer's love and understanding, and Spencer is always there for him. His little sisters can count on him for anything. He watches out for Andraia and includes her in his games and projects whenever he can. And he has been Chloe's best babysitter. From when she was born and Mom needed a helper so she could get dinner on the table to now when he is sometimes the only one who can make her laugh....he has always done what we need him to.

What an awesome young man. We're so proud to be his parents!!

PS This pic was taken by Andraia!! She's good!

Brayden's Battle

Having never had a seizure myself, I don't know what it feels like to be the person having a seizure. One thing I can tell you is that as the mom of a sweet, innocent little boy who continues to have seizures, it really kills me. Despite our best efforts to adjust meds and help his life be less stressful, they continue. Prayer seems to be our only defense, but I wouldn't want to fight this battle without it.

Chloe's Check Up

Chloe went to the doctor yesterday for her 9 month check-up. Of course, she's more like 9 and a half months now, but that's what happens when your check-up time falls around the holidays. She is doing great! Crawling all over the house!! Climbing all of the stairs! She can do two levels of the house (that's 14 stairs) in no time flat. She weighed in at 19 lbs 2 oz and is 28.8 inches long. She is getting taller more than she is putting on the weight now. She has a personality that will melt hearts! But, that runs in the family!!

Looking Forward

2008???

Holy Cow! I can't believe that Spencer turns 11 in just over a week. He is such an great big brother. Brayden is 8. We're hoping 2008 brings fewer visits to the doctor and definitely more seizure free days. Andraia is 5. The happy-go-lucky one. She is always happy, singing or asking you to read to her. Chloe will turn 1 in March. She is already climbing our stairs and taking a few shaky steps along the couch.

They grow too fast.
