All these pictures are just randomly placed on here, so it is hard to explain what is going on. But I will try.
-We had tons of fun watching Nic play volleyball last weekend.
-Charli is still going to preschool on Mondays and Wednesdays and she LOVES it. We have to count down the number of "sleeps" until she gets to go again. We do this for church too.

-Ellie is growing like crazy. (At least I think so.) Stats prove otherwise. We went to the doctor today and at six months she is a itty bitty 12 pounds. Think heavy thoughts for Ellie... they said she needs to gain some weight. This baby is such a blessing in our lives. She is so happy and calm. We are so lucky.
-With this cold weather we were having, we were taking the kids to the playland at the local fast-food places to let them work out some of their excessive energy so I can study some. Those places are nasty and need some serious sanitization!
-Dayne (my little brother) went in for another surgery yesterday. There is a picture of him, Ellie and I (And no- I am not breast-feeding in the picture) the night before the surgery. Then there is one with really chubby cheeks of his that was taken a few hours after the surgery. Everything went really well. The good news is that they will be taking his tracheotomy stuff out at the end of this week and training him to breath using his upper airway again. Then in five days when they would have discharged him to go home, he will actually be re-admitting to a different portion of the hopsital for in-house intense Physical therapy where he will stay day and night for a month or two. They will be re-training him to walk (Something he hasn't done since he was four.) They will also be helping him gain his strength.
-And finally, There is a light at the tunnel FINALLY for Nic's education as well as my own. I will finally be taking Nursing boards this week, and he has just finished mid-terms for his last semester for his bachelors degree.
Sorry so long. :)

Brit,
SOUnds like your family is doing well and lots of good things are happening. Poor Dayne, all those hospital visits and surgeries. Hope he is well soon.
Good luck on your boards. Your girls are lovely.
Hay
Good luck on your boards. You will do awesome. You are almost done, isn't that exciting? Ellie is tiny, my little girl is huge. She will cont grow and be just fine. Keep up the good work.
Your girls are so stinkin cute. I didn't even know about dayne yesterday I am so glad that it went well. That dude sure deserves a break. Let me know if you would still like linc to take your pics. He has a new website so you can actually just set up a time with him. www.lincolnphotographic.com
That's exciting! Kory and I have your number in our cell phones and we couldn't find them so it took forever to get your cell. I would have facebooked you earlier but Kim and Steve bought a cabin and we were up with them, and to be honest I didn't think to do that until now! Duh! I left a message on Nic's cell but we fly out tonight. :( I am so bummed! I can't believe you're a nurse already! It probably seemed a lot longer to you than me. I'm super proud of you because I know how long you've wanted to do something like this. So my hats off to you! Good job!
Good luck this week! And congrats to Nic for being done with mid-terms. Its so nice when you can finally at least see the light. I think Brady would wish he was there to help Dayne with PT, hope it goes well. How crazy to think he will be walking again after so long. Hope he recovers well from the surgery though, no fun! Keep us updated on his progress.
Oh ya, and I think we are gonna have our baby and he/she is gonna pass up Ellie pretty quick. Grow Ellie GROW! :)
