Kansas City

We made another fast trip to Kansas City this winter, at the end of January. This was one of the last times that we would be able to fly and have Raelynn ride on our laps. After this spring she will be 2 and that is the cutoff for "infant" though we got some funny looks when we told the flight attendants that she was only 1 and a half. Oh well. The trip went well, we got to see lots of friends and family while we were there.

Joys of Home ownership

Well, how to start this, oh I know! I HATE BEING A HOMEOWNER. There now that is out of the way. I know it is the "American Dream" to own your own home, but it really isn't all it is cracked up to be, especially when you have a "pre-owned" home. Since purchasing our house, 4 years ago, our water heater died, and our sewer has backed up into the basement 4 times ruining the carpet down there. We discovered why the house is covered in wall-paper. It appears that it has lead based paint, so as we have been redoing rooms we have been removing wall paper and sealing the walls. UGH I didn't sign up for this, at least not knowingly. I am ready to be done with this thing and move somewhere when if something happens I call someone else and they come and fix the problem. What are my choices with this? Is it back to apartment living? Is this how most condos are run? I need to start researching my options.

Raelynn and the Big Girl Bed

Well, the time has finally come, Raelynn has moved into a toddler bed. We made the conversion on Sunday night, and she slept the whole night in the bed no problems.

More Video

We finally got a video camera so now we can start having more videos of all the fun things Raelynn does. Here is a clip of her walking!

Here is the clip I was talking about.

A long time past

Well after almost a year, I suppose it is time to break the silence, not that it was intentional. I guess I just went through this phase of who cares what I have to say, and honestly if you are reading this then that is one more person than I thought.

Well as you can see almost a year has gone by, I would print exactly how much time but I am already too much of a nerd so I don't feel inclined to go figure it out. Raelynn is 9mo almost 10mo old and she is doing wonderful. No walking on her own yet but she can take you on a tour of the house as long as you hold her hands. She is a garbage disposal, she will eat just about anything that you put in front of her. Now that she has 8 teeth Precia and I are hoping that the teething is done for a little while, at least a month. She hasn't really stopped teething since she got her first 2 the day she turned 4mo.

In this time, I have also discovered that I am a crappy parent, at least to my extended family. We haven't had any pro pictures taken of her, nor have I printed any out to send to anyone. That will be changing soon. This week we are going to pick out pictures and get some printed to send to family. If there are any on Flickr that you specifically want, let me know and I will be sure to include that one in the packet we send, otherwise we will just send a hand-full of our favorites.

Well, that should bring us up to date for now anyway, and I will be posting more of the recent pictures and a video up on youtube. Once it is there I will post the link so keep your eyes here.

She has arrived

Raelynn has arrived. She decided to grace our presence after putting Precia through 22 hours of labor and a C-section. She was born on April 23rd at 4:38am. Everyone is healthy and Raelynn is growing like a weed. Sorry it took so long to get this update here, but as you can imagine having a baby in the house can consume quite a bit of time.

Everyone is doing well. Here are some pictures of our baby girl. She had her first doctors appointment and had gained a pound and grew an inch after just 4 days.
