Happy New Year 2009!

Well, I think that it is time for me to say good-bye to this year..."2008". It has been a rough year...with Conner having his seizures at the beginning of the year. And Craig working non-stop at the airport. And a challenging year for me...with a newborn to a now toddler. Yes, I am talking about Lila. But, in the end we have been truly blessed. Conner has not had a Clonic-Tonic Seizure for over 9 months now. He is working on crawling and improves everyday. He is a true blessing in our little family! Lila is getting into everything. She is one smart cookie. She loves to tease big brother and is on the verge of learning to walk! Craig is my hero! He works so hard for his little family. To make sure that we have food on our table. And a roof over our heads. He comes home so tired sometimes....and yet he tries to apologize to me for not having the energy to help out with the kids.....or little things like that. I love him so much! He is a great Husband and an AWESOME father! Me? Oh I have learned alot this year. From the challenges of working with a son who has alot of medical issues. To taking care of Lila. Both, who can give me headaches at the end of the day.....but BOTH who I love with all my heart! They have taught me more patience! Well, I hope that you all have a pleasant NEW YEAR! Take care of yoursleves! See you next year!

Chubby Conner!

"WOW!"

The kids kissing mommy!

We were at Gary and Dorothy's house visiting for Christmas. I was sitting on the couch. And had Lila. Well, of course Conner wanted some attention from me also. So, I grabbed him too. Then, it was funny.....I asked Conner for a kiss. (he knows how to give kisses.....as best as he can...) He leaned in and Gave me a kiss. Then, Lila decided that she wanted to join in on the fun...so she gave me a kiss......Conner was jealous and he gave me a kiss again...then Lila.....It went back and forth.....then they were kissing me at the same time. Craig got a couple of photo's of the cute and crazy kids!

Lila has on her Christmas Dress! Pretty......

What a handful!
