My boys!

I have been on a very long vacation from blogging.  Oh how I have missed it!!  I don't have a whole lot of time today but I just had to do a quick update on the kiddos.  Alex turned ten in May and started the 5th grade this year.  I can't believe how fast my baby boy is growing up!!  He loves his baby brother so much even though he won't always admit it.  Our little guy Ethan is already ten months old!! Wow can you believe it??  At his 9 month check up he weighed a whopping 24lbs. 11oz (which I know for sure has gotten bigger this past month) and was 27 inches long.  He is kinda short and dumpy but there ain't nothing wrong with that!!  We are truly blessed at how well he is doing.  When I tell people that he was 7 weeks premature they really don't believe me!  He has caught up in every aspect both physically and cognitively.  He is crawling like a little mad man and pulling up on everything he can reach.  He loves our dogs and cat more than words can say and of course his big brother is his hero.  He eats more than any baby I have ever seen and just this week started asserting his independence by only eating if he can feed himself.  I am working on posting alot of baby pictures but for now here are a couple of my favorites!!

Ethan Daniel 8 months

My boys!!

Hope everone has a blessed Wednesday!

He's Here!!

Ethan Daniel made his grand appearance November 3rd, 2010 at 1:23 p.m. weighing 5 pounds 2 ounches and 16 inches long. Everything happened so fast!  Our little man was 7 weeks early but is doing great.  He has been in the NICU for a week now and there still is no set time frame on when he will be coming home.  Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.  We are so happy he is here but not having him home is so heartbreaking.  I know that he is in the best place rite now getting the care that he needs.  It's just not how I had it planned!!
