Happy Bday & Merry Christmas to ME!!!!!!!!!!

I finally took the plunge. I bought my first Coach purse.

O is making progress!

My sister and I enrolled Owen and Dylan in semi-private swim lessons and I must say that they are both doing wonderfully! Just a few short weeks ago they both were scared to be working with a stranger, didn't care much for the water and today...wow! SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT!

Vacation Suggestions ?

Scott and I are preparing to take a vacation with the kids. The problem is, we aren't sure where we want to go. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hospital, Homecoming & Happy Birthday Scott!

Since the vomitting continued throughout the night and through the morning we decided that it was time to take Miss Avery to the emergency room. She was given LOTS of fluids, had a urinanalysis, was given Tylenol and then sent home. She was dehydrated! We are now on the road to recovery - thank God!
One year ago today we came home from Vietnam with Miss Avery.

Today was also Scott's birthday. What a way to celebrate...at the hospital! When we got home we had some angelfood cake and fruit (he is on a diet and doing VERY well). Happy Birthday sweetie!

July 5th

Today, we went to Aunt Donna's for BBQ and swimming.

So, then we get home and try to settle in for bed. The jammies are on and we are having a bed time snack and glass of milk. The VOMIT begins! Avery is puking EVERYWHERE!!! She continues ALL night but now we have a fever of 101. I slept a total of an hour or two. The fever and the vomitting continue through Sunday morning!

Happy 4th!

This year Owen, Avery and I went to the Independence Day parade with my mom, sister and nephew. Then, we headed home to meet up with Scott, have lunch and naps. Later that evening we headed down to historic Main Street for food, games anf fireworks. Owen wasn't as scared as last year but really wasn't all that interested. Avery watched about 5 minutes and then crashed. Considering her bed time was about 2 hours earlier, I'd say she did well.
Below - I have attached a slide from last years celebration.

The Nannies React To Pictures!

I sent pictures of Miss Avery along with Tricia to Vietnam. She managed to snap a few shots of the nannies reacting to seeing her picture once again. We truly appreciate you taking the pictures and snapping a reaction photo. In a few years I am sure Avery will be just as grateful for this shot as we are.
