Pink Ranch

What kid doesn't love Ranch.. Ryleigh just happens to love it the most. She also likes "Pink Ranch" and "Brown Ranch"(Balsamic vinaigrette). She had about three rolls and some meat dipped in the good stuff. I don't mind that much if she is eating all that good-for-her-food.

Alex's Christmas Card

My dad did such an awesome job of putting this together... I wanted to share it with everyone..
Thanks Dad!!!!

Doing fun little things!!!

Ry is loving having play dates with friends... this is her little friend Ellie... She loves to play tea party and is soooooo funny about it... the girls are having a cocoa party and putting their pinkies up... Ellie is so cute and did her pointer instead....







































One day I decided to bath Alex in the kitchen sink. He thinks water is about the coolest thing in the whole world and would spend all day playing in it if I let him. He is such a little fish... Maybe we will try mommy and me swimming lessons this summer like we did with Ry. Anyway, Ry decided she would join in... She loves the water too.....

What we found out...

Well we got a call from Dr. Su today. He was so apologetic for having us ride the roller coaster. We understand to some degree and we know that they have Alex's best interest in mind. As well as the rest of our little family. He talked with the surgeon and they came to the conclusion that it would be best to wait until the first week of January. It will be good to have Alex home with us so that we can enjoy the holidays as a family. He also said that we needed to be careful not to get Alex sick, but that we could enjoy our families homes and a couple other outings if needed. So we will be careful but still try to make memories with him. I haven't totally made up my mind about it, but I was thinking of taking the kids to sit on Santa tomorrow. I think Ry is really at an age when she is begining to understand and I would love to have her remember fun and happy things. She is loving the season and all the bustle that goes with it. I collect Nativities and She has taken all the baby Jesus's to watch over. I have to round them all up and place them back with their appropriate families each time. Today we made a paper chain that counts down to the day. At the top we put a big yellow star. We wrote Christmas Day, Jesus's birthday, Gracie comes and Santa comes on it. She is so excited. We really enjoyed the achievement day carollers the other day. Thank you. I don't think I ever posted this, but all of Alex's stool samples came back negative.. Good thing too, I hate C-diff. He still has his little flare ups but I think that it is just because he is just about to break two little bottom teeth through.....

Ginger bread houses

We made real ginger bread houses this year...

quick pics

Just learning a few new photo things and I love the blurry edges....He is soooooo yummy.

Eyes

My darling cousin Jennifer, gave me the idea. This is what our families eyes all look like I think it is interesting that our little man is a perfect blend of mom and dad with one brown eye and one green. This picture doesn't show the contrast all that well... But this was one fun post to read on her blog and then to steal and do on ours.... We wanna see your families eyes too!!!!! WE'LL BE WATCHING FOR IT...hahah (good punn)
