Charon update

We have been without a camera for almost 2 weeks - that's why we don't have any new pictures. I have been taking some videos, so maybe someday I can sit down and figure out how to post those. In the meantime...
We took our first long trip to Bend with Kayley - (I mean long as in longer than a 2 hour ride). Tony's cousin Corey married a very lovely woman by the name of Kelly. And as Brady (the bride stalker of the evening) would say, "Kelly was soooo pretty!" After the ceremony - you know the part where they say kiss the bride - Brady jumped up out of Papa's lap and shouted, "that was GREAT." It was comical!
We stayed in Bend at Chris and Jenn's house - they were great hosts for the weekend with all 17 of us! We went to church with them the next day and then we were off for the car ride home - and it felt like an eternity!!!! Snow falling, ice paving the road, slow drivers on the pass, kids screaming in the car!! Oh boy - was it ever so delightful! We made it though - but to our friends and family in Bend - I don't think we will be back with our kids until they are 18!
We went in for Kayley's follow up flu shot - and I took the opportunity to weigh her. A bit of a set back since the last great weigh in. She went from almost a pound in 2 weeks, to 1/2 ounce in the last two weeks. So off for more weigh in's and again, re-evaluating her eating schedule! She is doing so great and hitting her every mark and mile post - but this weight thing is something I can not understand and comprehend. We will get there though - I am sure of it!
Hope all is doing well and we will do our best to keep up to date with out a camera!

Kayley is gettin' fat!

Our last weigh in for her was December 26th and Kayley weighed in at 10 lbs 12 oz. I was so discouraged because we are feeding her all the time and it seems as though she isn't spitting up like she used to. So we really have been pushing the solids. It has really paid off. We went in for a flu shot on Monday and I put her on the scale -oh my! To my pleasant surprise, the girl weighed in at 11 lbs 10.5 oz!!!! We are talking close to a pound! AMAZING! So we continue to pray for healthy weight gain for her and we do appreciate all the thoughts and prayers from family and friends!

Happy Birthday Papa!


We spent New Year's at the beach house with Tony's family. A lot of food, fun and games! What more could you ask for. Papa had a Birthday and as the kids would say - "this is the best birthday cake ever!". Here is papa with Abigail and Brady. The babies were sleeping.
