It Finally Arrived!!

We waited over a year and at last it FINALLY arrived...Brennan's first tooth! He is sooo cute with his one tooth.







Perhaps this means there are more to come.

Nivens Apple Farm

Xan and I (Julie) got to go on his first field trip. We went to Nivens Apple Farm and got to walk through a corn maze, go on a hayride, and pick apples. We had a wonderful time together, just the two of us!

In the corn maze...

Xan loves to run. I can't count the number of times I hear, "Momma, watch this!"

It's Been A Long Time...

Since my last post, I (Julie) have completely healed from my surgery, Xan started preschool (and loves it) and Brennan has started feeding himself and pulling up on everything. Here are a few pictures of our family vacation. (The picture quality on this and the following two posts are not very good. We misplaced our digital camera for a while and had to use disposable cameras.)

Brennan Feeds Himself

Brennan loves those nasty Gerber Biter Biscuits.

Xan's Thomas The Train Faces

Xan loves to watch Thomas The Train and my favorite part is watching his reactions.

DISBELIEF


SHOCK


CRAAAAAASHHHHH!!!

Julie's Surgery

I had surgery yesterday around 2:30 p.m. to remove a cyst from my right ovary. The doctor said the surgery went very well and he was able to save the ovary and did not have to remove it. Praise God! Today I am VERY VERY sore. It is almost impossible to go from laying down to sitting up without help. I also have a hard time going from standing to sitting and I can not stand up straight. The doctor has me on good pain medication, so if this doesn't make sense that's why! I LOVE narcotics! HA HA!!

Also, on much happier note, Brennan starting crawling this week. I have it on video but just haven't had time to put it up on the blog.

Thank you for praying for me!

New Pajamas

Both boys needed new pajamas and I couldn't help but take pictures of them after their bath this evening. They looked and smelled so sweet!








Boys will be boys. They just had to get in some wrestle time before bedtime.


Watch out Xan, Brennan will likely be twice your size in a few years.
