JD is 2 years old today.  Last night Jason and I sat and reminised about when he was born.  He is such a miricle.  He has come a long way and beat a lot of odds and although he still has problems, none of them are as bad as they could be.  For that we are so greatful.  It is hard to believe that he is 2 already.  It almost seems impossible.  Both him and Jordyn are the highlights in our day.  They make the sun shine when there is nothing but rain.  How two boys only 4 and 2 can do that to two grown adults is beyond us, but they melt our hearts over and over again everyday.  Our world would not be the same without either one of them. 

Our wish to JD on his 2nd Birthday:

Remember that sometimes the hardest obstacles in life will lead you to your pot of gold.  Be who you are and not what others want you to be.  And most importantly, as you get older, never forget how to be a child!

Since it has been awhile since I updated last, I will fill everyone in.  JD is doing well.  He has been tested for Ciliacs Disease because he is having many issues with his digestion.  He is not growing as fast as he should (he has really short legs) and they want to do further testing to figure out the cause.  It could be do to the fact that he can't have milk or dairy, which is found in a lot of foods and is hard to avoid.  Even when we think a product doesn't have dairy, we come to find out later that is does.  He had his hearing aids readjusted and we have been trying to get him used to them again.  For the longest time he wanted nothing to do with them and always tore them out of his ears.  So far he will keep them in for awhile, then they come out.  He has a few appointments coming up.  He is borderline anemic and has to be tested every 3 months for that.  But even though this sounds like a lot, he is still an easy going fun loving boy who doesn't let anything keep him down for long.

Jordyn is Jordyn.  He is getting ready to finish up the school year.  He has a graduation ceremony on the 25th of June, but then he is going to attend the summer program so he doesn't lose any skills he has gained.  He is really excited about the summer but not about the bees.  It appears that our 4 year old has a phobia of bees.  He won't go outside at all if he even hears one.  Trying to tell him that the bees won't hurt him unless he hurts them first doens't work.  For some reason, he doesn't believe me :)

Jason and I have been very busy planning our wedding.  We have all the big details set and are starting to work on the smaller stuff.  We are really excited to finally be taking the big step.  It is about time :)  More than the wedding we are looking forward to the honeymoon.  We get 5 days and nights alone!!!!!!! We will miss the boys but they will be in great hands so we can relax and have a great time!

There is a busy summer ahead of us.  Everyone have a safe and wonderful summer as well!

March 31 2008,

I know that it has been awhile since a last update for our die-hard Jordyn and JD fans, but things can be crazy.  Between my job, jordyn's school, my school, JD's appointments, and the household stuff, I am really suprised that I sleep!  Just kidding, it is crazy, but I wouldn't trade these moments in for anything.  So here you go:  a long awaited update.  Let's start with Jordyn. 

He is getting too big for his britches! HAHA.  He is a very smart 4 year old who knows what he wants when he wants it.  He reminds me of myself at that age :)  He is doing very well in school. He will go one more year to the Happiness House preschool, and then he will be all set to go off to kindergarden when he is 5! Although he will almost be 6 by that time.  He can't wait for the nice weather.  He wants to go out and play even in the rain and wind.  He is dying to be able to play ball and run and ride his bike.  We are not going to be able to keep him inside in the summer.....

JD just had an appointment with his doctor on Friday, and we found out that he has an ear infection.  This is the third one that he has had in his right ear and we haven't even known.  The doctor thinks that he may not be able to feel the pain and pressure of the infection if the nerves are damaged in his ear.  They spent a lot of time looking at JD's hands and feet because they are always purple.  They are not cold, just purple.  They are going to be running further tests to see if they can figure out what is going on there.  His teeth are really yellow, so he has to see a dentist.  She wasn't too sure about that either.  She told us that we have a complicated little boy on our hands....lady you have no idea....he is getting big.....30lbs....5lbs lighter than Jordyn :)  He is doing very well...we have decided to for go the hearing aids since they do not appear to help him in anyway.  We will be talking with his audiologist for further options...in the mean time JD can sign....eat more is his favorite one to do!  and cookie.  He knows about 10 and he can say peek a boo, go, bye and no.....does this sound like a deaf boy to you?  He is delayed about 1 year but they think that has to do with his hearing.  Ahhh whatever....as long as he is healthy, the rest will just fall into place as it may......Just as long as he stays healthy!

Both of the boys and Jason and I have been fighting a cold.  Looks to be getting better now. I can't wait for that nice weather...I have cabin fever!

Jason and I were able to sneek out on Saturday night...we had a sitter for the boys.  We haven't been able to get out in a long time so it was really nice.  We went to dinner and then had a drive down by the lake.  We love our kids but it was nice to have a free night!  Although it had felt like we were out for hours and it was only 2!  Ha ha!

School is going good for me.  I am often reminded that I am not in high school anymore and sometimes the work is really challenging.  Thanks to Jason, I have been able to be very successful.  He is my rock!  He is like the housewife and I am the working husband!  He says that all of the time!

Well, I hope to update again soon.. There are lots of new pictures so check them out!

Have a good day!

Jordyn turned 4 years old today.  He is getting so big so fast.  Both him and JD amaze Jason and I everyday with their pleasure in the little things.  Sometimes Jason and I forget how pretty the snow can be when it is falling....that it until Jordyn points it out to us.  It is like looking at something for the first time!

Things have finally started to slow down after the holidays.  I will have more time to update soon.  There really hasn't been much change.  Just trying to make it through day to day.

Happy Birthday Jordyn.  Mommy and Daddy love you very much!

November 25, 2007

Happing Thanksgiving to Everyone.  Ours was very quiet, but very, very nice.  I had 4 days off of work, and I was glad to spend time with my family.  With school and work, there are days I don't see them much.  Jason is so amazing with this....I know the boys can drive him crazy!  We spent Thanksgiving with his parents.  They came over, and we had the whole spread.  JD really enjoyed himself.  That boy really likes to eat.  He even got to taste pumpkin pie, although we had to be careful because JD is really alergic to dairy products.  He is still on a special formula.  If you see red cheeks in his picutres, he must have had something with dairy.  It is so hard to find food that doesn't. 

Christmas is coming upon us fast.  I hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday season full of love, family, and laughter.  I hope that memories are made!  JD has a couple of appointments coming up. I'll be sure to update when I can.

P.S. Still no luck with the hearing aids.  But we keep trying.

Christina

October 24, 2007~ Well, we are kind of at a stand still with the hearing aids.  They don't seem to do much for our amazing boy.  He doesn't mind them in, and they work mechanically, however, they don't seem to do him a bit of good.  His reaction to sound in no different than before.  If fact, they are annoying to us because we can hear the feedback, but he can't.  We have a appointment on Halloween to have his hearing checked with the hearing aids in to see if there is a difference.  If they are not working, I am not sure what the next step is.  We were told that he has to "learn" how to hear so that it may take time, but so far, no change.  I guess we were kind of expecting it.  For some reason, I just had a feeling.  I will update more later, plus add some pictures.  Night.

September 15, 2007~

Things around here have been busy so I apologize for not keeping up with updates.  Jordyn in now back in school, and I have been busy with my own school work.  I am on my 6th class towards my psychology degree!  Jordyn is doing very well in school.  He schocked us when he counted 10 trucks in a book that I was reading to him.  He could count before, but now he can count things too!  He also know his entire alphabet!  He is getting so big.

JD has begun speech, and he has also begun to do some signs!  He will sign no to us!  Little stinker!  He is also getting very big....he loves to watch Jordyn and he tries to do everything that Jordyn does.  The other night, Jordyn was walking around the living room with a box on his head, so JD found a box, put it on his head, and began waking around the room too!  They wrestle and play.  Jordyn gets annoyed with his little brother sometimes, but they get along pretty good.  Sometimes, Jordyn in the only one that can make JD happy!  I hope they always have a special bond.

Fall is almost here and I can't wait!  I love the change of the seasons!  Well, JD gets his hearing aids Finally on the 10/03!  We now have a working vehicle so that won't be a problem.  I can't wait to see his face when he can hear things that he hasn't been able to before.  It will be a very great day for our whole family.

Well, that is about all from this end.  We have just been keeping busy!  No drama or excitment and that is always good!  Write again soon!

August 18, 2007~

Well, we still don't have hearing aids.  We had to re-schedule and couldn't get an appointment until October 3rd.  We were really disappointed but it could not be avoided.

However, JD did make his reg ped visit and he is doing great.  He is a little on the heavy side but he just started to walk so he may loose it.  He walks all over the place now.  No more crawling for this boy!  When I look back and think about what the alternative could have been, I am so thankful to have my family.  How very easily things could have gone the other way.  I do not take any of that for granted.  This past year has been unlike anything I had ever imagined my life to be, but I wouldn't trade any of it for the world. 

Jordyn is finished with summer pre-school.  He has a two week break and then he goes back for the fall.  He really loves school and riding the bus.  I was home from work to take JD to the doctors one day and I happen to be there when the school bus came.  It was the first time I was able to put him on the bus.  He was so excited when he saw the bus coming down the hill.  He was jumping up and down.  They treat him like a little prince on the bus.....I think it's the curls!  And the blue eyes!  Ladies man he is.!

I had a little break from school, but now I am back to the grindstone.  I am currently taking an English composition class....not my best subject, but so far so good. 

Well that is all from this end for now.  I hope that everyone is well.  Hugs to all.

Sunday July 15, 2007

Thankfully, the last few weeks have not been that busy.  Jordyn started his summer school.  He kept asking to go to school, so we think that he missed it.  He says that he has a good time everyday.  Hopefully he will always have this attitude about school!

JD no longer receives PT.  He was able to graduate from the program.  He is only a month behind at the moment.  She said that he may need it again in the future, but for right now he is doing well all on his own.  That is thanks to Jay.  He works with JD everyday.  JD still isn't walking but he sure is trying to climb!  Anything and everything.  The house was baby-proofed we thought....had to go back through and do a double check.  We had to secure a coulple of stands to the walls so he couldn't pull them over on himself.  The fun years have started!!! LOL

I can't believe that my boys are getting so big.  They amaze me by their innocence everyday.  They are really my rays of sunshine!

I hope all is well.  Only 3 weeks until JD can HEAR!!!!!

Hugs to all

June 28th 2007

What a busy couple of weeks we have had.  First, we had Father's day.  Poppy and Berma came over for dinner.  The boys got "Best Grandpa" and "Best Daddy" t-shirts for daddy and poppy.  It was a very nice evening.

Then, we had JD's birthday party on the 16th.  I think that he had a good time!  He had cake from head to toe!  He ate almost all of it though.  I still can't believe that he is a year old.  Where did the time go?  I can't believe that it has been a year already!  He is getting so big so fast.  I tell him all the time that he has to slow down and stay little for a while longer.

JD has his consultation for his hearing aids on the 18th.  They did a sound field test and guess what?!?!?  JD CAN HEAR LOW TONES!!!!!!!!  He responded to very low tones!  There is hope now that they hearing aids will work!  He will get them on the 8th of August and then we are told, there is a 2 week "hell" period where we will have to fight him to keep them in his ears.  He will fight until he realizes that with the hearing aids he can hear things that he can't hear without them.  I can't wait for the day!

Jordyn had a ceremony at school for the end of the year.  He got a t-shirt and sang a lot of songs that they had learned.  Jordyn is better at sign language than me!!!!  He can do some on the alphabet but has problems getting his fingers to stay where they are supposed to! He is really cute to watch.  He is going to school for the summer and then will go back in the fall to the same school.  He needs a little extra help that is why he is going for the summer.  The socialization with the others kids will be great for him anyway.

Well, that is all from this neck of the woods.  Hopefully things will calm down now, but with the summer upon us it doesn't look that way!  I hope all is well with everyone and their families.  Update again soon!

Love to all,

Christina

June 18th 2007~

One year ago at this time, I was lying in a hospital bed wondering if my child was going to die.  On saturday we celebrated JD's first birthday.  This last year has taught me that with family all things are possible.  This whole experience has been an amazing wonderful journey full of twists and turns that we were never expecting.  As a family we have been able to beat any obstacle that was in our way.  JD is suprising us everyday; doing things that we never thought that we would see him do.  He is truely our miracle and our angel.  Happy Birthday JD!  Here is to many, many, many more! 

May 18th 2007:

Well, it is official.  JD is deaf.  100% deaf.  He has an appointment on the 18th of June to have his first consult for hearing aids.  Even though we already knew that he was deaf, it was still a shock to hear it again.  We thought for sure he could hear....at least a little bit.  Oh well....life goes on I guess.  Full steam ahead learning sign language.  I have ordered a book full of signs. 

Jordyn will be receiving OT at school.  He is having some sensory issues and his fine motor skills are behind. 

My grandfather is not doing well.  We found out on Monday.  My grandfather was everything to me growing up and he still is.  Please keep him in your prayers.  Looks like a trip to Wisconsin will be in the near future. 

This week has been hectic.  At least its friday and I don't have work for two days. School work is calling though.

I hope that everyone is well and happy.

May 6th, 2007

JD finally had his 9 month check up!  Being that he is almost 11 months old we are a little behind.  He weighs in at 23 lbs 8 ozs.  He is 30 inches tall and has a head circumfrenece of 45 inches.  He is doing VERY well in all areas that are physical.  His pedeatriction has some concerns with the neurological aspects.  We have to video record JD sleeping at night so that they can get an understanding of why he wakes up so often.  JD has been having "unidentified" head movements.  He just recommends that we follow up with JD's neurologist.  An appointment is being scheduled.  His GI doctor has changed his formula once again.  He is now on a formula that is completly broken down.  He will not start drinking regular milk at one year.  JD has a real milk allergy.  He cannot tolerate anything that contains milk.  Some children just have an intolerance for milk and grow out of it, JD's may be permanant.  She is pleased with his over all growth.  Just concerened with the whole milk thing.

As for JD in the physical area, he is doing quite well also.  They were amazed that he is crawling and pulling up on things.  He has even started to walk along the funiture.  I think that walking is a long time off but he has a good start.  He amazes us every day. 

His hearning test is this week.  We are really anxious to find out the results.  There are times we swear that he can hear.  We will say his name and he turns right toward us. 

On another note, I no longer have a car.  My van broke down and the people I bought it from refused to fix it even though it was an existing problem and they told me that they took care of it.  I bought it on the pretense that it was fixed.  Now they want me to pay 500 dollars to have it fixed.  They pulled a good one on me.  You learn from your mistakes right?  Now we are on the hunt for another car.  Hopefully we get one soon.

Well that is all from us for now.  I hope that everyone is happy and healthy.

I thought the stars were appropriate for Memorial Day.

Love,

Christina

Well Jordyn had his first day of school.  He is doing very well and he seems to enjoy it.  He loves riding the school bus!  It tires him out though and he likes to take a nap when he gets home.  I had to work so Jay took pictures.  When I got home I looked at them and started to tear up.  My baby is growing up!  School has taught him a few things although I don't think that it is the teachers that are teaching him.  He has a new favorite phrase that he started to say about a week into school...."I don't want to do that."  He even says it with attitude!  It is cute for now. LOL!

Big news on JD!  He is crawling, sitting up on his own and pulling himself up on things!  He is on the move!  He doesn't like it all that much and crys a lot when we make him work but he is getting it!  I tend to baby him and Jay makes him work.  Actually because of Jay, JD is able to do all of these things.  He will make him get toys and sit by himself.  I would pick JD up as soon as he started to protest.  Being home with daddy has been really good for him.  *sigh* both my boys love their dad.  That is not a bad thing. 

Easter was nice.  The boys went and had dinner with their cousins and then Berma and Poppy came over to the house and had dinner with us.  Jordyn had too much candy even though he didn't get that much.  We colored eggs with the boys the day before and that was lots of fun too.  Jordyn really had fun dipping the eggs into the colored water.  JD can help next year.

Well, that is about all from our neck of the woods.  We are in for a big SPRING snowstorm.  That is what they are calling it! LOL  They are calling for a couple of feet of snow!  YEAH! (That is sarcasim by the way!)  I can't wait for the nice weather!

March 21, 2007

For the first time in a long time I feel that good things are happening for our family.  I have gotten a full time job, doing what I love.  (I work with adults who have disabilities.)  I have started classes to get my degree, and Jordyn will be starting pre-school next week.  Hopefully our bad luck streak is over.  That one lasted a long time! 

Not too much going on.  Just thought that I would let everyone know that we are still alive.  Had to change the theme too.  Easter is almost here!

Until next time~

March 6th 2007~

It has been a rough weekend around here. 

The lady that I worked with passed away Thursday evening with her close friends and family by her side.  I wasn't there.  I wasn't scheduled to work, but I had stopped in to check on her and to see her family.  We all knew that there wasn't much time left.  I left and she died 20 minutes later.  At least I got to say good bye.  Her funeral was Monday.  It was beautiful and there were lots of tears.  Despite all of her challanges this lady made life fun!  She was strong and brave.  I will miss her.  A Lot. But I know that she is in a place where nothing hurts her anymore.  That makes me smile.

I have decided to resume college courses although i have now switched my major.  I will be studying for my bachelor's degree in psychology.  I am doing it all online but if I don't do it now I am never going to.  I have to do it!  Classes start March 20th. 

I had to go out and buy a new car.  Well, not a car, but a van.  I have a picture of it but I don't have them downloaded onto the computer yet.  My car was just not worth all the work that had to be done to it!  I like the van.  Lots of room. Now Jordyn doesn't kick the back of my seat when I am driving.  Although I did put it into a ditch yesterday.  Driving home from Linda's funeral I decided to take a back road to save some time and hit a drift of snow and spun the van around into the ditch.  I wasn't hurt and neither was the van but i did have to pay a pretty penny to get it towed out!  What a rip off!

Then I was talking with J's mom on the phone and found out that a relitive of J's house caught on fire last night.  It was gutted.  Nothing can be saved.  I guess no one lived there but it was full of antiques and funiture that was very old.  At least no one was hurt!  I feel so bad.  Fires are horrible.  Please keep them in your prayers.

Jd's hearing test was rescheduled because I didn't trust my car to go that far.  It is now on the 28th of this month.  Someday soon the poor boy will get hearing aids!

Well that is all from our little snowed in neck of the woods.  Schools were even closed today.  We had a state of emergency issued until 6:30am.  People getting into accidents all over the place.  Lots of wind that created a negative wind chill and blowing snow.  White out conditions.  And I thought spring was close! HaHaHa

Hugs

Febuary 28th 2007~ Life is crazy.  I am 25 years old and I am just learning that.  So many things are happening and I must say that most of them are not good.  The boys' great-grandfather is not doing so well again.  Please keep him in your prayers.  He needs them.  We need them.

I have been working a lot.  A woman that I work with isn't doing so well either.  I have been working in this line of work for a long time and this is the first time that I have had to take care of someone who is going to die.  It is so hard.  Emotionally.  It is draining.  I still have to do my job but I find it hard.  The emotions are so new that I am still trying to work them out.  Please pray for her and her family.  There isn't much time left.

JD is doing well.  He keeps growing and growing.  I tell him all the time that he needs to stay a baby but he doesn't listen. HaHaHa  We have been working on sitting up but he still hasn't got that yet.  He is really unstable.  However, he will get on all fours and rock back and forth.  He didn't have PT last week because school was closed so his PT didn't know about him getting on all fours.  I wanted to show her and wouldn't you know that the little stinker wouldn't do it for her!  Figures!  He has his hearing test in a couple of days.  Hopefully after that hearing aids won't be far behind.  Yeah!!!!!!

Jordyn is doing well also.  He had his evaluation for Happiness House for his speech delay.  He qualifies for 1/2 day of school with a speech therapist.  It will be good for him to be able to go and play with kids his age.  I think that he gets tired of playing with JD.  Although Jordyn does very well with the baby.  He always want to help change him and feed him.  He will get on the floor and play cars with JD.  It is the cutest thing in the world! 

My car is dead!  Well not yet but soon.  I took it to a garage to have them look at it and the repairs that need to be done total more than what I paid for the thing!  Time to look for something new I guess. 

I must say that with all the bad stuff happening it sure has reminded me what is important in life.  My family.  I go home everynight and hug and kiss my boys so tight that they hate it!  But at least I go to bed everynight knowing that I showed them as much love as I could.

Thank you for still reading up on us.  It is nice to know that so many people care.

Take care and talk to everyone soon.

Love,

Christina

January 28, 2007~  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JORDYN!!!!!  My baby turned 3 years old on the 24th.  I had the alarm on my phone set to go off the minute that he was born, 5:01pm.  He didn't really understand what all the fuss was about but I think that he did know that it was his birthday because people kept saying it to him all day.  I made M & M brownies and we had ice cream.  We are going to do something bigger for him in Febuary.  They sure do grow up fast! 

I have seem to come upon a run of bad luck in this new year.  I was really hoping that things would start to look up for us, but something bad keeps on happening.  I am about ready to push my car off of a cliff!  It is just one thing after an other with that hunk of junk! First the breaking system now the tires!  I am hoping to get things all straigthened out around here.  I haven't had time to do much of anything these days.

As for JD, he is doing great.  He just had his 6 month check up even though he is 7 months.  they put him a month behind to account for the fact that he was born early.  He is just about 20 pounds.  Just a few ounses shy.  He is 27 inches lond and his head is 45 cm.  Right on track in the growth department.  He is slighlty behind in the developmental area.  Although his doctors feel that when he gets his hearing aids he might just catch up.  They did find a small heart mummer.  He had one when he was born but it closed.  They are just keeping an eye on it for now.  Nothing to worry about.

I hope that this finds all of you readers well.  Bless you.

December 21st 2006~

I finally have some time to write an update on the boys.  We have had some very exciting things happen in the last week or so that I would like to share with everyone. 

Jordyn got his first haircut!  I finally broke down and did it.  Jordyn has not had a hair cut ever!  I didn't want to risk loosing all the his curls, but it was just getting out of control.  He wouldn't wear the cap that goes around his neck and he did start to cry until I held his hand.  He sat still for her and let her cut it.  He was such a good boy!  She did a wonderful job!

BEFORE:

AFTER

Doesn't he look cute!  And the curls are still there!  I even saved some to put into his baby book.

Jd has done a couple of new things.  He can now grab both of his feet.  He was having trouble grabbing the right foot, but he has it now!

We also tried feeding him cereal.  However, most of it ended up on his chin and shirt and not much actually went into the tummy.  We are going to try a little everyday and he will get the hang of it soon.

We did have JD hearing test appt  but we were scheduled for the wrong one and the lady that we had to see wasn't in so it is rescheduled for January 4th.  I was bummed!  It is only a little while longer I guess.  Good things come to those who wait!

JD is 6 months old!  I can hardly believe it!  He is getting so big now and is learning to do so much.....he is going to show these doctors a thing or two I think!  His current stats are updated on the front page.

He had to see his GI earlier than the 8th of Jan.  I had a training for work that day and she wanted to repeat of the labs sooner than that.  He had that appt today.  He is doing well.  She upped the dose of actigall because he is gaining weight and he is now on prilosec for his acid refulx.  She didn't have any real concerns though....liver numbers are still a little high so we have to have more blood work..  The same old same old.

I scraped my knuckle one day.  It started to bleed but I got up and washed my hands.  It was sore but it seemed to be healing.  Wouldn't you know!  I got an infection in there.  Take a look and the picture above and you can see it only left hand.  They had to cut it open so it could drain and I am on medication to get rid of the infection.  I couldn't even use my hand for a few days!  It is healing now and seems to be better.

Not much else is going on here.  Just trying to tie up some loose ends for Christimas.  Rush! Rush!

Talk to everyone soon.

January 13, 2007~

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  I am sorry that it has been a while since I last updated.  Actually, there really isn't that much to report.....no news is good news right?

Christmas day went well.  The boys got too many toys, but isn't that always the case!  I am going to have to have a talk with Santa and tell him to go easy next year! Ha Ha.

Jordyn really wanted a helicopter and he got one! JD didn't really care and he decided that he was going to take a nap!

There are tons of pictures so I hope you all enjoy them!

2007 has started off with a bang!  My car needed some repairs and when they were doing the repairs, they found a lot more work that needed to be done.  Isn't that how it always goes?  400 dollars later my car still needs some work and we are broke!

The boys and work have been keeping me really busy.  JD is doing more and more every day.  He will be starting OT and speech very soon.  He had to wait until the offical diganosis of complete hearing loss was established which it is now.  He is being scheduled for a repeat of his sedated hearing test, and ABR.  At the same time they are going to do a repeat of the newborn hearing test.  This way they can narrow the hearing loss down to a region in the ear and give him the best possible options.  It is a slow process even though I wish we could fly right through it!

Jordyn is being enrolled in happiness house too.  He will attend their preschool program and receive speech services also.  Jordyn will be 3 in a few days!  I look at him now and it amazes me how fast the time has gone by!  My baby boy is a big boy now! 

Well, that is really all from this end!  I hope that this finds everyone well and happy this new year.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all!

Love and Hugs

December 10th 2006~

Well, I am offically a 1/4 of a century years old!  I turned 25 yesterday.  25 seems so young, but I feel so old! I had to work so we didn't do anything exciting....that is ok.

I got some not so good news from my GI doctor the other day.  When I had my last scope done they took some tissue for biopsy.....I got a letter in the mail telling me that the results of that test warrent an appointment in his office.  They don't tell me the results though....wonder what could be wrong now....just add it to the list I guess.

Christmas is fastly approaching us.  I can't believe how fast time is going by......in just a few days JD will be 6 months old.  It needs to slow down just a little bit so that I can cherish the little moments even more than I already do.  Today, Jordyn came up to me and gave me a kiss out of no where and said love you mommy.  Almost brought tears to my eyes.....moments like that make it all worth it! 

There isn't too much going on here....just going and going and going! LOL!  I'm like the energizer battery.  HaHaHa.  JD is doing very well in PT.  He has been trying so hard to roll over.  He tries and tries and tries but he just can't get it.  Soon.  He has also been trying to laugh.  He does this bevis and butthead thing if anyone knows how they used to laugh.  He is still now on cereal.  Tried that and he just isn't ready.  He will let us know.

Things have been quiet here.  I really don't like quiet....it means that something is brewing in the near future.  Never fails!  I can count on it.....no matter what we will make it.....just like before.

Warm wishes to you and your familys!
