Christmas Morning

Christmas morning is always exciting with little ones. Jaci woke us up telling us what Santa left for her. I asked what Santa left for Joseph and of course she did not know. So she ran back in the living room to see. I wish I could have seen her face when she saw her new pink and white skates. I'm excited, we get to go skating. Dazzles here we come. I hope they have a frequent skater card...haha.

Joseph loves his rocking chair and tickle me Elmo and Jena seems to like her 1st doll. Now it's time to sort through the debris and get my family ready for MawMaw and PawPaw's.
Hope you had a Wonderful morning and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and read the Christmas story from the Bible.

Blessings to you,
Lisa

Merry Christmas

Getting ready for the Big Day!! Christmas!! I love this time of year. Even though I didn't get to put out all the decor that I normally do, I have still enjoyed the nativity scene on the porch and the tree trimmed by Jaci and daddy. I just have to find time to wrap presents...and sleep.

Yesterday was a busy day. I had my Dr. appt with Dr. Hudson and I had to call and get Jaci an appt., cause she has had a terrible cough and Granma thankfully took her to that, Joseph woke up with a sty on his eye and then I had to take Jena to her Dr., appt to get another shot to hopefully prevent her from RSV. Jena is doing very well. She is up to 7lbs and 19 inches. We had to go all the way to Ashford-Dunwoody Rd and it took us 2 hours to get home last night. And we will have to go next month for another shot. Dr. Brown says that I need to keep her in till March. That's when flu season is over. I know she is God's hands and we will do all we can to keep her healthy. She and I will miss out on family gatherings this year but it is the best thing we can do for her.

I hope that you will have a Merry Christmas and count your blessings this year. Too many to count? That's OK, try it anyway.
Give God the Glory for it all and remember to tell Jesus Happy Birthday!!

Blessings to you,
Lisa

Big Sister and Big Brother


Look at these faces...could they really do any wrong?

Yeah Right!!



Meeting and holding her new sissy for the first time on Thanksgiving Day
It took Joseph awhile to realize that this doll was for real, now he can't keep his hands and mouth off her. He is always giving her kisses...so sweet.

Big Sissy has to give some kisses too!!

Busy Days

It seems like every time I go to the computer something happens and I am not able to write anything. My days have been very busy. Keeping up with feeding, dirty diapers from two children, making sure Joseph is not getting hurt with all the things and places he is getting into. Needless to say, most days I'm still in my PJ's till mid afternoon. I try to change before Jaci gets home from school but definitely before Joey gets home.
Jena is doing very well, she is up to 5lbs 8oz, and now the monitoring Dr., wants me to start putting cereal into her formula. She is 4 weeks old...I have always waited till about 3 or 4 months with Jaci and Joseph but these are doctors orders. So she will probably gain a good bit a weight soon. This has helped her with getting chocked while drinking. She still hasn't learned the whole drink, suck, swallow....but this is due to her prematurity. I know she will get better as she grows.
Well, I think I'll take this opportunity to go lay down, since Joseph and Jena are napping and I'm still in my pj's... it's only 1: 11 pm so I still have time before I need to change.

Blessings to you,
Lisa

Need help!!

For the last two nights I have not got much sleep. Jena wants to be awake during the 2 am to 6 am hours and then sleeps hard in the morning. She has alittle of awake time and tummy time during the day but not enough to keep her asleep during the night. If anyone out there has any help tips for me I would greatly appreciate it. My eye balls are hurting cause I haven't had much sleep. It's about 5:40 pm now and I'm going to give her a bath and try to stir her up. But please help me if you can.

Here are some of the things I missed while I was in the hospital. Yes we are slow to getting things developed.
Joseph playing in the stroller...baby stroller that is

Jaci's PM Sports Award Night with Coach Ron

Being sweet ...

Tired Daddy









Well, what can I say...

Yesterday Jaci woke up with pink eye, and had to miss school for the first time. That was very sad for me, she was OK with it. She is doing better today and I see no reason for her to miss another day. We got through Monday just fine. Yes I was nervous about being at home with just me and my kids. Thankfully there was prayers going up for us cause it was not that bad and I was able to warm up a chicken pot pie for supper. Oh, and I made tea.
Tomorrow I need to take Jena back to the hospital to get her picture taken cause the lady left on Thanksgiving day and we didn't get her picture taken. Thankfully this will not cost me anything. Then I have to take her to her first Dr., appt. It will be busy and a tiring day.

Thankfully the Lord will be with us and He will help us through.

Blessing to you,
Lisa
