July photos

Where oh where has the summer gone? The days become hours and hours become minutes and minutes to seconds and before you know it, the day is done! Jordan is growing so fast. He is almost 14 months now! I look forward to watching him grow and I get so excited everytime he learns something new but then I realize I need to focus on NOW and enjoy every minute of it.

Victoria was here for the summer and she just turned 14! That is hard to believe. When I first met her she was almost 2! She is starting a new school this year and faces many challanges. Life is about choices and she is learning to make good choices.

Ellie will be starting a new school as well and she will be in the 2nd grade! We will meet her teacher tonight and we are both thrilled!

Gabe will be starting Kindergarten. He and Ellie will be able to ride the bus together which I am so happy about. I just recieved a phone call yesterday from his new teacher! I requested a certain teacher and he got HER! Yeah!!! I know he is going to do great! He said he doesn't want me to bring him to school on his first day. He is dying to ride the bus! (BIG BOY)
He has stood on the corner for the past two years watching ellie get on and off the bus. He is ready to do the same! It is a bitter sweet moment.
So much has happened this summer and I have not had time to sit and blog. I miss that! I know once Ellie and Gabe get in school, I will have more free time to do that. Well, this is it for now. I will add more photos soon!
Love,
Lizzy

Jordan is ONE

Today is my baby boys First Birthday! I can't believe it. He has grown so fast and this year has flown by. He is so funny and makes so many faces. I love when he crinkles his nose. I just cut his hair in case you didn't notice. We are having a small get together this sunday to watch him eat his cake and sing him Happy Birthday! Enjoy the pics...more to come!

Memorial day weekend.

Here are some pictures from Memorial day Weekend. We got to see Jackie, although she was not here to celebrate. Her best friend was pregnant with twins and she ended up having complications around the 24wk of pregnancy and she lost one of the babies. They had the funeral Monday for the baby boy. The baby girl is still in the hospital and will remain there for several months. Please keep her in your prayers. Her best friend is named Brandi and the baby girl that is still alive is Claire. I can't even imagine what they are going through. It just brakes my heart to think of it.

Jordan is 11 months old. :(

Here are some recent pics of the kids. I can not believe Jordan is almost ONE years old! Where has the time gone! This whole year is flying by!
Update: Jordan loves to low crawl and pull himself up on things. He loves to eat our food now...NO Baby food. He loves his water in his juice cup. He has 4 teeth up top and 3 on the bottom. He waves and claps and says momma and dada. He loves peek a boo. He is a very laid back kinda guy. He sleeps all night in his crib and when you get him in the morning, his smile will light up the room. He loves watching gabe play with his cars he tries to play with him. It is the cutest thing ever. Well..that is about it on the update on Jordan.
More to come soon..:)

Gabe is finished preschool.

Here are some pictures from Gabe's last day at Preschool. He did amazing! They put on a little preformance with songs they have learned about days of the week, months of the year and a couple other cute songs that they danced too. It was so adorable. I can't believe how much he has changed this year. He is one terrific little boy! I love him so much and I am so very very proud! :)

Gabe

Here is my silly gabe with his mow-hawk he made after getting his bath. He is such a ham and has the best personality!

Jordan and Gabe

Gabe is NOW registered for KINDERGARTEN! I can't believe it! My little guy is growing up so fast!

update on the kids...

This week has been full of doctor appts. We went recently to the Eye Dr for Gabe and the doctor said everything checks out just fine. Nothing abnormal for his age. That was Great news!

On Sunday night, Gabe came down with what we think was a 12 hr virus. He threw up Sunday night and then twice on Monday. One of the times was on the way to Jordan's dr appt. He said..I'm sorry mom! I told him that he had nothing to apologize for! He is such a sweet heart! Then we had to take Jordan to a dermatologist in Metairie because our pediatrician referred us there because of Jordan's birthmark on his left thigh. It takes up just about his whole left hip area and it almost looks like a coffee stain but when you look closely it is more vascular. Our Doctor wanted us to see a specialist to look at it to make sure there is nothing we should be concerned about. Well, then the Doc looked at it and did a biopsy of it and also took a picture of it. Now we wait! I am praying it is nothing serious.

Tuesday, Ellie ended up sick with just a sinus infection. She is on antibiotics now. Actually we are all under the weather with our sinuses. It is not fun!

Today is Thursday and now Jordan is running a fever. I called the Dr. and they are going to put him on antibiotics now. Now we just need to get Daddy better! He is really congested and coughing up green stuff! If only we can get him to go to the Dr.

I haven't been keeping up with this as I should...I will try and do better.

Lots of love,
Lizzy

Abuelo is in town.

Well Abuelo (Danny's dad) came to visit and we are having a great time. We decided to take the kids fishing in Mandeville. Although we didn't catch any fish, we still had a great time. Abuelo is funny and the kids like hanging out with him. Here are some pictures from our day! Enjoy

Happy St. Patricks Day
