Please pray for baby and I. I came to the hospital for "crampiness" and "tightening of the lower abdomen" on Saturday (am only 25 and 3 days) They ended up admitting me and even on medications I am still having contractions. I am for sure staying the night again tonight (Sunday) so they can continue giving me medicine and monitor my contractions and also to give baby girl "Ava" another steroid shot. Please pray that she stays put for a long while!!! Also pray for me as doctor has already told me today that I won't be going back to work for awhile. I am worrying to much about my little guy Preston at home! :) Will try to update when get a chance! Thanks!

Happy Easter!

Please pray for Preston. He is going to have minor surgery on his lip on 2/26. He had fallen this summer and busted his lip. The specialist thinks he either messed up a muscle in his lip or a cist has formed. Either way he wants to fix it. They have to put him under for like a 1/2 hour. We know he will be fine, but just makes us nervous since he is "our baby".

We went to Chesaning with The Keoshians and Trish, Dave and Chae the day after Thanksgiving. They close off Main St. and have it lit with candles and people are singing Christmas carols.

Thanksgiving Day at my parents house.

This is Hansel. (Heather Boese's dog that we watch) She is always very cold and likes to be covered up or at least have a blanket nearby. She found Preston's Elmo chair w/a blanket and was in Heaven! :)

I was tagged by Sara to give a recipe that I really like. I am gonna cheat and just tell you to go to foodnetwork.com and type in creamy chicken noodle soup. It was a recipe on Semi Homeade with Sandra Lee. So yummy and easy!

Raking the leaves at Mana and Papa's!

Preston had a great time Trick or Treating this year! He was a riot!

Stephen and Preston's Pumpkins.

Stephen had his 11th Birthday party today! The kids had a ball! We also had the kids carve their pumpkins.

Here is the newest member of our family! :) My mom and dad recently had to put their Yorki Maxx down and so they got a new puppy- a Cockapoo that with the help of Chae they named "Gus".

I had the day off today, so we took Preston to the Apple Farm and got some goodies! Yum! Preston liked being outside and playing on all their fun stuff! What a beautiful Fall we are having so far!

Our trip to North Carolina to see Josh, Sara and baby Gage!

We dropped Stephen off to his Mom last Monday. :( So sad for us, but we will get to see him Sept 20-23 in NC when we go see Sara, Josh and Gage! Yeah! Hopefully time will go by fast until we see him!

This is a picture of the boys swimming at the pool where we stayed at the night before we dropped him off.

We got to meet Gage this weekend! What a cutie! So glad he is healthy and doing well! We miss you already buddy!

We went camping in Petostkey this past weekend. We had a great time and Petoskey is so pretty!

our latest family picture!
