WAY long overdue update

 Here is our house.  Our lovely, beautiful, second chance at life HOME!  We are all happy here.  The neighborhood is wonderful!  We have tons of kids for our kids to play with.  This was the right thing to do.

 Gavin's new room in the basement.  Thank you Uncle Tye and Aunt Ashley.  This was a gift from them to us/Gavin for Gavin's 15th birthday.  It looks even better with the trim Uncle Tye put in and with a bed in there!  I know Gavin is SO happy to not have to share with Rainier anymore.

 Happy 2nd Birthday to Pierce.  You have been a total joy to our family for 2 whole years now.  WE LOVE YOU!

 Happy Birthday Evelyn (Evie, Wee-Wee)!  You are 1 year old.  This year flew by despite all that happened this year.

 Dad and Pierce

 Dad and Evie

 Rainier, undoubtably wishing that this present was for him!  :)

 Evelyn and Addie.  The kids just got back from soccer games, hence their uniforms

Babies eating cake.  They were so funny.  Evie didn't eat THAT much cake but she made herself sick.  She threw up everywhere in her bed later that night.   I have never had a child do this before.  That girl is so silly!







So, we are plugging along here in Daybreak.  I am 2 nights a week in Labor and Delivery and one night over on mom/baby.  I hope to go full time L&D soon.  It's in my blood. 
Gavin managed to not get into any pictures but he is growing up so fast.  I hardly can believe what a change there has been in him since Evie was born.  He has girls all over the place!  HELP!
Addie is loving soccer and is an amazing player.  I had no idea she would do so well
Rainier is Rainier.  Hates school.  Likes soccer, friends and the PS3.

10 years

Happy 10th Anniversary (yesterday) to my husband Russ. You are the love of my life and always will be. I can't believe that it's been 10 years since you became my husband. We have been through ALOT in 10 years. May the next 10 be even better! Can't wait to move into our new home together and start our "new" life!

4 month update

So here we are, she is 4 months old. Miss Evelyn Ann is the sweetest little punkin. And by little, I mean she is TINY! At her 4 month checkup on Wednesday I discovered she weighs a whopping 11 pounds. Yep, you read it correctly. 11 pounds. There are newborn babies bigger than this tiny princess. She is 24 inches long. Little long and skinny Evie.
These two fingers have decided to become a permanent fixture for little Evelyn. She has them in her mouth ALL the time. (Except for when you want her to soothe herself, like in the car)
I love her SO much. She is starting to be so social. She smiles and laughs and sits in her bumbo chair. And she has the funniest little fuzzy brown hair. It sticks straight up in the air! She is such a good girl. Pierce loves her still and someday I hope to be able to get a picture of the two of them together. So cute!
