Welcome

Welcome Family and Friends!

I thought that this might be an easier way to keep you all updated on what is happening in our lives and this way I don't have to try to update two webpages all the time!

February has been a busy month for ou family so far! On February 4, 2008 Brad was taken to the hospital via ambulence, which was scary for both he and I. He was having sharp pains in what he thought felt like his chest, but it ended up being his liver that was giving him pain. He was hospitalized for 4 days due to an inflamed liver, which was brought on by some sort of flu bug. I am happy to report that he is much better. He had a check up with his regular doctor yesterday, but we won't know what his tests look like for a few days. Other than that, he has been keeping busy with both of his jobs (caring for our kids, and his paying job at the airport!)

I have been keeping busy at work myself! I am working in the infant room at my center, and it has been so much fun being with all of these beautiful babies, what can I say I just love kids!! On this past Monday I attended a Professional Development Day that my company hosts once a year as an opportunity to get inservice hours that we need. At that conference the center that I work in was selected as the Susan K. Dunkley Center of Excellence, which makes us the number 1 center in the organization out of 62 others. This is based on a number of criteria. It is a wonderful honor! We have been invited to a banquet in April to celebrate our achievement. For those of you who do not know, Susan K. Dunkley is one of New Horizon's founders.

Sydney is talking so much and developing quite a personality! She loves her little brother so much (a little too much at times), she is completely potty trained and even stays dry all night now. She loves doing art projects with mommy and she is a great helper around the house. She especially loves to put laundry down the chute!

Christopher is nearly 10 months old (he will be on the 27th his cousin Miranda's 5th Birthday!)He is pulling himself up to standing on furniture, and getting into everything. His favorite thing is trying to get into Sammy's food, which we have to keep blocked all the time! He loves all music and musical toys. He is eating all table foods and does excellent with a cup, he is down to 3 bottles a day! He is a very happy boy!
