Thanksgiving

This year we headed to Seattle to spend it with my brother Dan and his family. The drive was good, if you consider getting stuck on Snowqualime (sp) pass for 4 hours good, but the kids did great and we are Thankful for that. We had a good time at Dan's and a great feast. We attended the Gingerbread Village at the Sheraton D-town. The houses were AMAZING. We had a great time!
We are getting ready for Christmas and Hannah's 1st b-day.

Photos Galore-October

So the month of October was an exciting one for our family. Grandma and Grandpa Kamann came to visit, we did the annual pumpkin patch outing, Lydia had a preschool field trip to the patch, soccer games, painting/carving pumpkins and Halloween!

I'm Back

Well it has been a LONG time and I am sorry for that....I am going to post a few photos and hopefully this weekend I will be able to sit up here and type a few stories of what we have been up to.

First Day of 4 year old preschool

Lydia started school last Wedneday and she loves it. I think this child is going to always love school, her favorite thing to do it learn. She also started taking dance class at the school right after preschool. This is her 1st go around with any type of activity other than school and she LOVED it. Hope it all continues to go so well the rest of the year.

And she is off.....

It is so funny everyday she gets a little farther and faster and Lydia LOVES it.
Lydia is enjoying the last few weeks of summer with her friends, she has started to ride a 16" bike and is loving being a "bigger" girl. she would play all day with the neighbor kids if she could.
Hannah continues to be Hannah, she is a joy to watch learn and explore her world. We switched her to an over the counter hypo allergenic formula on Sunday and my verdict is out on how she is doing but both the GI and Pediatrician say I have to wait one week before pulling her back off it. I pray they are right. She has been fighting one eye infection after another this month and tonight Kris took her to the Dr and she thinks it is due to her clogged tear ducts and gave us yet another eye drop. Her eye procedure is on the 31st so please say a little prayer for her.

Here are some photos of the last few weeks.

Camping

We swam in the river, had a camp fire, attempted to go to bed (it took her two hours to fall asleep) just to roll off the air mattress onto Amy and then talk all night long! We ventured off to the natural hot springs I've heard so much about since moving to Idaho, pretty sure we won't do that again but hey we had to see.

Hannah is going GREAT!! I hate to write that because every time I do it back fires but we started her on rice cereal last week and she loves it and is doing well and today was the 1st of many test with introducing her to Soy and Dairy again to see if she has outgrown the intolerance. Today she had Multi Grain Cereal (it has soy in it)and she did just wonderful, no reflux, no hives, no crying, no blood in her stool just a happy little baby girl. I pray it continues for the next 5 days and if it does we have the green light to get her baby puffs, Cheerios and oatmeal. She loves her baby food, it is funny she will eat do a loud grunting when you stop and then screams at you if you don't get it in fast enough. She is sitting up all alone now and today she was laying down and she got into sitting position all by herself! Lydia was just so proud. Also today Lydia dove into the swimming pool for the 1st time by herself!
