July 4th

We did our annual trip to Downtown (the whole 8 miles it is) to watch the parade. Here are a few snapshots.

Colorado

We had a wonderful time at Grandmas and Grandpas. We went swimming, had BBQ's, went to Museums, Wildlife Refuge, to Uncle Chris's, got to be part of a wedding...and the list goes on. It was a great two weeks, we already miss gpa and gma a lot but have been trying to stay busy at home to not rmemeber the missing part.

Here are some photos

Catching Up...

A lot has happened in 3 short weeks:
Dan, Allison and Ellie came to visit us
Lydia graduated 3 year old preschool (and it is missed MUCH)
Hannah turned 6 months-wow 6 months I just can't believe it! She had her Dr appt and is 26.25 inches long and 16.13ozs. She is developmentally right now track and is starting to eat solids carrots down and we just started sweet potatoes.
The girls and I head to Colorado tomorrow afternoon so I will post those phtoos when we et back.







Well the computer won't upload more photos so I will try later...if I remember!

5 Months

I can't believe our baby is 5 months old already. Even though it has been a rough road it has flown. I am so excited to announce that as of Monday she is a healthy baby girl, she passed all her hemoglobin tests for her stool and there were no traces! We had a rough two weeks experimenting with new pharmicutical amino acid based formula but we finally found one that is working. (as I type this she is scremaing her head off-yikes, Daddy has her) Her volume isn't back to where it once was but she is doing well. Lydia is enjoying every minute of this spring weather we have. She LOVES to play outside with the neighborhood kids and enjoys giving Charlie attention in the back yard! She finishes preschool in two weeks and I am sure she will miss that a ton as will I. She is excited for her cousin Ellie to be visiting next weekend but wishes we could go there since she has "lots of cool toys and a huge house to play in", but I am sure they will get along just fine here. Kris and I are doing well. This Sunday we were able to get away for dinner and the musical "Wicked" it was great and so night to have couple time for the first time in since Hannah was born. Here are some photos of the girls.

Rolly Polly

Hannah rolled for the 1st time this afternoon. By bedtime it was up to 20 or so times, from back to belly. She gets so mad when she gets on her belly though, hopefully soon she will learn to roll back to her back. It was so fun to watch!
