Nose Packer

Yesterday evening I had to take Brooklyn to the urgent care because she had something in her nose.  Well, we get to the urgent care and the provider on call could not get the foreign object out so they referred her to an ENT(Ear, Nose and Throat ) doctor. 

Looking at Brooklyn you would have never thought that she was in pain or that she had a foreign object in her nose.  So last night was a little strange because I was very nervous about her overnight and I did not want to go to the hospital to get it removed because that meant that she would have to be put to sleep. 

So, Brooklyn and I got to the ENT doctor this morning at 7am and she was the 3rd patient seen.  The office staff was very nice and worried about Brooklyn so they got me in very fast to see the doctor.  So on the way to the doctor I had prepared myself about what could happen at the dr.'s office.  But the screaming that she did at the doctor I was not prepared for, because I  had to hold her down and the nurse had to hold her head while the doctor did his thing to remove the foreign object. 

So are you wondering what the  foreign object that came out of my precious little active 21 month old was:  (a shiny bead that I have no clue where it came from? )

Brooklyn is good well and now Channing and I are going to have to watch this nose packer. 

One Year Later

 Mothers Day 2010

Easter 2011

Tonight I was going through pictures of the girls and I noticed how much the girls have changed and me too!!!  Kennedy is now 4 years old ad Brooklyn is almost 21 months old.  They are growing like a weed especially Brooklyn.  Also I have been on a calorie diet since January and I have lost about 15 pounds and I feel so much better.  I am almost the weight I was when I got married :)  Now to the girls:

Kennedy:  Has been in ballet and soccer this year and she loves both but ballet the best.  Both activities end soon and I am ready for a break and my car.  She is a little Cinderella that wants to wear a dress everyday even out to play.  Also she is into flip flops with "diamonds" on them.  Also she loves the beach and she is ready to go swimming in her Uncle Bills Pool, she reminded me yesterday that the pool is ready.  She weighs 31 lbs and is wearing 4T clothing and  9M shoe.

Brooklyn:  She is on the move all the time and is talking non stop.  I thought Kennedy was a talker but Brooklyn has got her beat.  She copies everything you say and is asking all the time "What is that?"  She is still a big eater and she loves french fries.  We can be driving or riding in the car and she sees McDonald's and she says "mommy french fries".  She loves the outside and playing with Sampson and Deacon.   She weighs about 26 lbs and is wearing 2T clothing and 6.5-7W shoe. 

My girls bring joy to my heart and I love them so much!!!!

When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.  John 16:21

Papa Randall's Birthday

On April 27th we celebrated two birthdays one for Papa Randall and cousin Linc. Channing's Aunt Cathy cooked a wonderful country meal and the kids played outside and did not want to go home.

 

 Mema Diane gave the kids bubbles to play with and Brooklyn found the candy.  Oh no!!!!

 Ready for a ride on the wagon

 Brooklyn and Linc they are 4 months apart.

 Kennedy and Cadence having a blast with their bubbles

 Cousins that love each other.  (well when one does not have a toy that the other one wants)

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?(Ask Brooklyn she had three)

Easter 2011

Easter was great this year with all the excitement of the girls Easter Egg hunt with school, Easter program and Easter Sunday at Hyde Park Church. 

Soccer Mom

I am now a "Soccer Mom" .  Kennedy has wanted to play soccer since last year.  So, Channing signed her up and now she is a Tiger for the Pembroke Soccer Association.  She loves soccer and her team won Saturday.

The Worst Hail Storm....

 This is a storm that I will not forget.  We had 2 large hail storms this afternoon with hail that fell from the sky that was baseball and golf ball size.  I can not remember a time that I saw hail this size before.  When the hail was falling I thought the house was going to cave in. 

We are thankful and bless that our home was not damaged. Here are some photos of the hail storm.

It looks like snow in the spring.

The fog that appeared after the storm.

The golf ball and baseball size hail.

Our neighbor made a chocolate cake for us and it was wonderful.  That is what we ate for supper.  I know that cake is not a good meal but it does have (milk and egg) doesn't that count. 

Kennedy and Brooklyn's new little friend

Thursday and Friday my friend Jada brought her little fellow (Xander) over for me to watch while she worked on her dissertation research.  The girls have fallen in love with him and especially Kennedy she did not want him to go home. 

They ate their little snack and watch Elmo for 5 minutes if that.  It is hard to get a 4 year old, 20 month old and 19 month old to sit still for a long time.  Xander you are a little blessing and we hope to see you soon.
