Our Baby is Turning TWO!!

WOW...how time flies! We can still imagine holding our newborn baby for the first time and falling deeply in love. What a feeling!! We are still falling more and more in love with her, but she isn't a baby anymore. Our baby is turning TWO! We don't know where the past 2 years have gone, but they sure were fun. Even though she is a big girl now she will always be our baby....my dad still says I'm his baby and I'm 28! We have made so many great memories that we will never forget with our firstborn and we look forward to the many more.
Brielle, we love you so much and couldn't be more proud of you. We are so lucky to be your parents and we thank God for you everyday! Happy 2nd Birthday sweetheart! (on Sunday)

Fun With My Cuz...

Aunt Shanni and cousin Camden came to visit us this past Wednesday for a couple of days. Brielle was so excited when they walked in our house. These 2 kids have so much fun together. It's hard to get good pics of them because they are so busy running wild :) Here are a few from our fun couple of days!
Snack time before bed...we had lots of these!
The splash park we went to...
She didn't want the water to "get her"
Coming through the tunnel on the playground..they liked to sit and hide in there!
Bath time!!
They had to leave today and go home, but we came with them! We are staying at their house now through the beginning of next week so we will have many more fun things to share!
Have a great weekend :)

Follow Up With Urologist

Brielle had a renal ultrasound today to follow up post surgery and make sure everything is progressing as it should be. Afterwards we met with our urologist to get the results. Things are looking better, but not perfect yet. Because her kidney was stretched so large, by the backup of fluid, he says it will take years for it to go back to a normal size for her body. She will have an ultrasound every year to monitor this. He wants her to stay on the antibiotic for now so she doesn't develop another infection. He says another infection would lead to another surgery to do more repairs, so we will take the antibiotic with no complaints :) Her next ultrasound is in April and we will pray that her kidney looks even smaller. It's all in God's hands!

Meeting Miss Grace!

We were so lucky to be in Fort Wayne yesterday when Kimra and the kids came to town and were able to finally meet Miss Grace! She is such a good baby and so fun to snuggle. It brings back great memories. We had a great time visiting and of course I was a baby hog! I could hold her and kiss her chubby cheeks all day long. Can't wait to see you all again :)
What a cutie pie!

Brielle loved kissing Grace and kept saying "more"
