Mom and Baby are Doing Fine!

Kyle and Ashleigh are now a family of 3 :) Madelyn Sophia arrived at around 9:30pm yesterday, all 6pounds, 3oz of her. She is soooooooo tiny, but has the longest fingers and fingernails. Mom and Baby are great and hopefully all three of them survived the night well (with some help from the nurses I'm sure :)) Hopefully we can go visit today and sunggle with her some more!

Good Job Mom!!!

Baby Kanski is coming!

Ashleigh's water broke at 3:00am and they headed down to the hospital around 9am, only 3cm so far, so it may need a little help, but full labor is coming and, Baby Kanski will have a birthday today! I believe it's a rule that after water breaks the baby has to come with-in 24 hours to avoid infection, so looks like it'll be a big day for Momma, Dad, and Baby! More news when it comes, but here's Lilly and Carolyn's celebration-- they've been singing Happy Birthday, but of course I only managed to get a bit on camera :)

Keeping Moms in Your Prayers

Late last week, my very good Friend Vicki lost one of her Best Friends to Cancer. Please take a minute and pray for Jeanne, Vicki's Mom, as she is greeted in Heaven, and that her family will always feel her presence from Above.


Probably, we should all give our Moms and Grandmas where ever they are on this earth or in Heaven, an extra moment or two of our day to think of them as well. For where would any of us be in life, without someone that was our best friend even when all we had to offer was stinky diapers and a smile :)

Girlie Girls

I feel like I can post pictures like this every day. I have 1 huge girlie girl (Lilly) who is teaching her younger sister how to be girlie. Every day there is dress up and dancing...

Christmas in a nutshell...

Dinner, presents, dinner, presents, Christmas morning presents, dinner, presents, dinner, and a finally night of presents... that's it in a nutshell. Through it all, I managed to catch a few pictures, but most of them are on the family's cameras while I was chasing down Carolyn or managing a Lilly meltdown :) The kids LOVED the holiday season and already can't wait for next year. Luckily they got some cute toys and clothes to keep them busy until then. I believe the entire Christmas season can be sumed up by Carolyn's face in the picture below :)

Lilly became quite the fashionista over Christmas... she now only prefers dresses and plays with her pearls and high heels atleast once a day.

This is the rare moment of happily playing sisters :) Don't mind that one doesn't want clothes on, and the other is wearing a dress over her outfit :)

And after all the crazy...it's time for a cup of tea in the living room!

1st Birthday !!!

It is crazy to believe that Carolyn is already a year old! It has been arguably one of the best years ever with her being an angel baby and Lilly being such a wonderful big sis. It has been just awesome to see them grow and share in so many smiles everday. I know it might get a bit rough here as Carolyn becomes older and we learn the delicate art of sharing toys, but thus far, it's been a dream. So to celebrate such an awesome little girl, we had lots of fun events... starting with a trip to the bounce house and Chipotle and ending with a big old party, Santa, and CAKE.

Mighty Max Update

A few of you were asking how Max, the amazing little 2 year old, was doing. Just wanted to share that he is doing great. They did some treatments for the rejection, and at this point, everything continues to look like a success. His Mom posted yesterday that he's walking and talking like crazy and continues to be a little miracle... a mix of his parents determination, amazing science, a lot of prayers and his own wonderful persistent personality. You can see pictures of him here.
