South Edmonson here we come.

Thank you guys for the prayers and thoughts. Court went well today and we got custody back of Gillian. So look out all of you at South Edmonson her we come. I will probably switch her schools after Thanksgiving break. Just a week and a half away. I am so thankful for Answered prayers and wonderful friends.

Asking for little miracles.

For the last month we have had custody of my little sister, Gillian. Tomorrow we go to court to see if we get to keep her. Please keep us in your prayers. We just want whats best for her and we believe her being with us will be best. It is a difficult situation for her. I only wish I could help her to understand, but that is asking a lot for a 8 yr old. She is such a great girl and deserves a great life, and if we can give her just a little stip toward that greatness then it will be worth it all !!!

Sick Baby

Well, Wednesday morning I got Lola out of bed and she was wheezing and having some trouble breathing. I took her to see Dr. Patti and we got sent home with our first ever nebulizer machine. Evy was so worried about her little sis. She cried when I had to hold Lola down in the doctors office to give her the breathing treatment. I had to swear that I wasn't hurting her to calm her down. Then we had to go get a chest x-ray, were I had to hold her down some more. It was a great experience. ha ha!! I thought this picture was cute even if Lola was sick. Evy just wants to take care of her.

Just Playing Around

I know it's been a long time since I posted. The good people of this world finally decided that it would be O.K. to put DSL connection back in the boonies were we live. Now instead of taking 45 minutes to post to my blog it only takes about 5.
We haven't been up to much in the last 6 months. Evy is still my couch potato and Lola thinks she is Hercules or Spider-man, I haven't decided which. I hope everyone is well and I have been catching up on looking at everyones blogs. I can tell all the kids have grown so much.Evy thought it was funny to try on one of Lola's Diapers. She would be mad if she knew I put the picture on here because she says she's a big girl not a baby.

Lola loves to play hide and seek. She also likes to walk around with a blanket on her head, so she keeps bruises on her face from running into furniture.

We have also added a cat to our house since the last time I posted. Her name is Bella, and no it is not from twilight. On mickey mouse clubhouse Claira Belle Cow has a dog named Bella. Evy was watching that the day I brought the cat home, so she said that is what her name was going to be. Bella is so loved by my girls. Andrew didn't want a cat in the house, but now that the girls love her so much he probably wouldn't take anything for her.

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY LOLA!

Lola turned 1 year old on Saturday. My little baby is not so little anymore. She started out weighing 5lbs 10.5oz and was 19 inches long. We went to the doctor yesterday and she weighed 19lbs 2oz and was 29.5 inches long. How do they grow so much in just a year. She is a wild child. Keeping her still for more than 2 minutes is one of the hardest jobs I have ever done. When she was born she was so small that you could probably count every bone in her body. Even though she is still small for her age don't count her out. She doesn't let Evy get anything over on her. Look at how much she has changed in just a year.

Clothes and Shoes are a girls best friends.

The cake apparently was delicious. She even had her feet stuck in it.

Fishing with Grandad

My dad took Evy fishing for the first time this year. She had a blast. I think they caught 3 fish, but she just enjoyed spending time with her Grandad. They are like two peas in a pod.

A wonderful visit with Uncle Chuck

(The camera made Chuck look a little crazy with red eyes)

Needless to say we have had a busy week. My brother came to visit from Texas. We had not seen him since Lola was 2 weeks old. Believe it or not Evy actually remembered him from his last visit. He brought his pet beagle hound with him (Rusty), and I think Evy feel in love with the dog. I was really sorry to have to see my brother go back home. I miss him so much. He is the only sibling that I have that shares the same mom and dad. It was so nice to be able to talk to him in person instead of 5 minutes over the phone. We still and always will have our differences, but I will always love him.
