Catching up!!!

Well, these past few months have been INSANE! Brynley was really sick with ear infections (they just kept coming back!) And she had ear tubes placed on Feb 14th. Michael and luke still LOVE school, and I had a little harder time this last term trying to keep up. I was able to keep up with Anatomy and Physiology, but ended up withdrawing from my development class due to all the assignements and reading I hadn't started yet with Brynley being so sick! But, I think it was a good decision because the W on my transcript is much better than a C - or even a failing grade! Next term I will be staying in Baker to take A & P at the BMCC community center in town. I'll retake development from another community college because they dont' offer it here this term. So I will be back up to 9 credits again. Brynley is like a totally different kid! Now that she feels better she has put on weight (she's getting chunky!) and she's babbling a lot more, and is getting more steady on her feet. She still is a little lazy with the walking though - if she doesn't want too, she won't! It will probably be a couple months before we actually see her take her first steps on her own. That's fine with me! It's been nice having her so stationary for so long! She's developing quite the little personality too. She's also working on 4 teeth at once - all on top, so lately she's been our little bulldog. At least that's the face that she makes! :o) Here's a bunch of pictures to help catch everyone up on what we've been up too. We've had birthday's for michael (6) and luke (4) and Brynley's is coming up on the 6th of April. Now that things have calmed down a bit - maybe I can keep up on this blog - especially for those friends/family that we don't see often enough!!!

Sledding and Christmas - the boys had a BLAST sledding! Brynley came down with ANOTHER ear infection the day before so she was only able to be outside for a few minutes, and I don't think she really enjoyed even those few minutes! Below.. Luke at his "Art" Debut at Crossroads. They featured Luke's preschool's artwork for the month of January!! Here is Luke and his "honey" also. He has the cutest little "girlfriend!!!" Her name is Naomi. There is a picture of Brynley with her first taste of cool whip, and her with her first little flower hair clip. I should have discovered these hair clips LONG ago! They are so cute!! She was only a couple days out of being really sick this time - she had just lost 1 lb, and she is pretty pale - but it was still a cute picture! Plus I wanted to try out the new clips!

OK... now onto February. We had Michael's birthday party. He wanted a STAR WARS theme.. so that's what he got! Here's some pics from the party - also one of Brynley kissing her cousin Aysia. There's just something about those two! Brynley loves to kiss aysia! I love the picture of luke just sitting so patient and quiet as Michael opens presents! Here's a picture of Brynley all dressed up - in her cute little heart jumper. She loves to pose for the camera. I will post more pictures and get into what's up for march later tonight. We also had kiddie kandids pictures again the end of Feb. So I will post those too - I had a pic of all three kids that is just TOO adorable!
