God at work

It is amazing how awesome God is. B-Daddy and his business partner have been working on a business deal for almost a year. This deal is what will provided for our families in the coming years. We can see God's hand in the situation from the beginning. This process has been covered in prayer from all sides, but kept secret from anyone not immediately involved. God has closed doors and opened some amazing ones for us. He has done what we would have said was impossible. We were even told at one time that this would probably not be an option, But God had other plans. I am excited to see what he has planned for B-Daddy and his business partner in the coming year. We know it will work out the way God wants it to because we can see his hand involved.

I can't spill the bean until after Feb 2nd, the deal will be official on the first, but there are other that have to know before I can say anything. But know that God is faithful and cares about the little decisions in your life and the major ones.

A day of Catching up on Blogging

Well I haven't blogged in awhile so here is my marathon of postings. I hope you enjoy!

Baby B

I had called on Thursday to get Baby B a follow up flu shot. When the nurse called me back I told her that I would rather make an appointment to get him seen since he had a running nose and a funky cough. She we got an appointment for the next morning. I took him in and the Dr listened to his lungs and said that he was wheezing, which I had noticed the night before. She took a swab from his nose and came back and said that he had the RSV virus. So she sent me home with a scrip for a breathing machine and albuterol. I have given him 3 treatments so far and he has done great. He just sits in his bumbo with his mask on for 12-15 min and barely cries and doesn't even try to take the mask off. He has done well and hasn't gotten any worse. He has never stopped sleeping through the night and his running nose seems to be clearing up. He is still just as happy as ever. I think that we are on the mends, but to be sure we are hanging out at home and not spreading it around.

His little mask has a elephant on it and it looks so cute on him!

Here he is chillin' in his tub after a treatment. He was just a kicking and splashing.

Baby B's 6 month pictures

I took baby B for his 6 month pictures on the 9th of January. He did a great job! Marcy took about 50 pictures and he was smiling or grinning in each one. She told B-Daddy that she edited out 2-3 pictures because his eyes were closed, but he was still smiling.

We started off with bath tub pictures, and then changed him 3 other times after that and he never stopped smiling! We got some good pictures of him. Here are some of the best ones.

Christmas

We had Christmas day at our new house then headed over to the in-laws. Em and El were all excited to get anything horse related. They both love horses. Em says that when she grows up she wants a big barn with some horses and animals. She wants to be a cowgirl!

A Night in Bethlehem.

Well it has almost been a month since I posted. Wow were do I begin to catch up? We had a great Christmas, we are settled in our house, and all seems to be well. Becky the pictures are coming, I want to get the pictures hung on the wall first. Still working on that.


I will try to start were I left off. Here are pictures from a night in Bethlehem. Our church did this for the first time this year and it was a great success. The kids had a great time doing all the activities and "meeting" Mary and Joseph.
