Busy Weekend!

Wow! What a weekend! The fun began on Thursday afternoon! Deidra was admitted to the hospital in order to start the induction process! Thursday night was just to get her ready with the real induction starting Friday morning! We were all sooo excited to be able to welcome Lizzi into the world on Friday morning at 11:16 a.m.

Brad's family graciously agreed to come into town on Thursday night in order that I may be at the hospital all day on Friday and not have to worry about getting someone to keep the kids. It worked out wonderfully!

Saturday was a great day! It was Titus' 2nd bday party! Although he won't be two until Nov 25, this was the best weekend to have the party. Parties are alot of work, but so worth it to watch everyone have so much fun. I feel like everyone had a great time! I know Titus did! We are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family that helped make the day a wonderful one. I can't believe my baby will be 2 in just a week.

Emmy is doing great also. She is 6 mths and growing like a weed. She weighs 17 lb 6 oz. We will see her specialist on Wednesday and get blood work. She has been on a strict diet so we are hoping the levels come down. Pray with us.

Now it is time to start focusing on the holidays! I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week!

The Fair and Halloween!

We have had a busy and fun last few weeks! We started off by going to the Jackson County Fair a few weekends ago. We took Titus to the fair last year, but being only 11 months old, he wasn't really into it. Oh how that changed in a year! He loved everything about the fair this year. It was a constant battle of trying to get him off the rides and try to do other things like eat dinner! He loved riding the cars most of all! Next year will be interesting having 2 kids that will be wanting to ride things!

I started thinking about Halloween around the beginning of October. I wanted them to be something that went together, so it was a bit of a challenge to find something small enough for Emmy. I decided to let Titus be a monkey and let Emmy be the banana! I must say it was super cute and everyone seemed to love it. I already have some ideas on next year!

We are busy getting ready for Titus' birthday weekend. His birthday isn't until the 25th, but because of Thanksgiving, we are doing the party this Saturday. Brad's entire family is coming into town for it. It will be  a busy week of preparation, but well worth it for my soon to be 2 year old!!!!!

New Project!

We are still in the process of getting things on the walls in our house. Just thought I'd share with you the canvas prints I just ordered! So excited to get them in!

A few Changes

Brad and I made a decision this past weekend to deactivate both of our facebook accounts. It was something I had been thinking of doing for a few months and then Friday when Brad came home from work, he told me he had decided he needed to delete his account. There is nothing wrong with Facebook, but we just felt it had a place of priority in our life that we did not want it to have. So I say all of that to ask you to keep up with us on the blog! This is where the status updates and photos will be.

Dr Bock recommended this week that we change Emmy's diet. He wants to get her levels down to 4-5. We have decreased her formula intake in order to decrease the amount of protein. Once I feel she is doing well on this diet, we will get labs. Hopefully that will be next week. We are praying that the levels do decrease. Please continue to pray!

Have a wonderful week!
