Baby shayne
Here are some recent pictures of shayne! She got to meet her aunt Michelle and uncle Eric!
Painting!
Dalton wanted to paint a few days ago! I had to change shayne's diaper and dalton was strapped in his chair so I felt ok leaving him at the table while I was a few feet away. When I looked up he had it all over him.

Chaos
12/19/2011
The morning started out good, I had one happy baby girl and Dalton's cold was getting better. Then chaos.... I changed shayne's diaper and she had bloody diarrhea. So I called the doctor and they wanted her in right away or I needed to take her to the emergency room. Those are words I never I want to hear. However they got her in the next hour. So I figured I needed to find a sitter(Gavin was at work) for dalton in case they sent us to the hospital. But dalton has been struggling with a cold so I didn't want to call anyone with kids because I didn't want them to get sick especially the week of Christmas. Luckily shawna saved the day and I was able to drop D off on the way to the doctor.
They checked her really good and sent me to the lab to check her stools. The doctor said she had colitis and I had to cut the milk out of my diet. Since I'm breast feeding he wanted me to keep doing that for few days and see if we could fight it that way and me just changing my diet. But he wanted to test her stools to make sure it wasn't an infection. So I had to take a test tube thing home and collect stools until it reached the line.... She is 2 months and her poop is liquid and diapers absorb her poop. so it was going to be a long process.
I picked up D and got him down for a nap. I got part of her samples in the "test tube" and knocked it over... It had special liquid in it so I called the lab to see if I could just send what I had, of course I had to go get a new "test tube." so I had a sleeping 2 year old a sleeping 2 month old. I wanted to get the samples to the lab as soon as I could. By this point I hit my limits and was do frustrated and worried. God gave us great neighbors and she was able to come sit with the kids while I ran to the doctor.
Needless to say I was exhausted and had three hours until Gavin came home from work. I made it about an hour and then both kids were screaming for one reason or another and I heard a knock at my door my sweet friend Megan showed up with dinner and was there to help me with the kids until Gavin for home!
God sent me three angels! Megan knew I was having a hard day and came right over, Shawna watched my sick little boy and kristi watched both kids the second I called. Thank you all!
Shayne is doing better today. Still a little fussy but no more blood, so we are praying it was just the milk. Dalton still has a cold but is doing much better too!

2 months old!
My little girl is two months old! I can't believe it!
She weighs 13 lbs 10.2 oz, and is 23 inches long, which is in the 90th percentile so a little smaller than her brother. The doctor laughed and told me God was giving me a little bit of a break and gave me a "small" baby but to any other person she would be big. She has already rolled over and sleeps through most of the nights. She coos, smiles and is really strong. It feels as if she has always been apart of this family!
Dalton wanted to be in the pictures.
God is wonderful and am reminded of that every time I look at my two kids.

Craft time
Dalton has loved watching Sid the science kid on PBS! One episode they talk about astronauts and rockets. Then he wanted to make a rocket so we used a toilet paper roll. And this is what we came up with.

Park
It is gorgeous outside today, so I decided to take dalton and shayne to the park. I was nervous about taking both of them but I wanted to try. Dalton is use to going to the park almost daily and we haven't been able to go since I was on bedrest. It is so great to see him play and make new friends with the other children. I loved every minute and I think he did too!
