I am trying to upload new pictures to the blog tonight, but blogger is not cooperating with me. ARRGH!!! So I guess I will just update you on our life and try again tomorrow to upload pictures. Most of you know that Kris made it home safely from the NCOA two weeks ago. Since then we have been enjoying our time together. He took the first week off of work, so it was wonderful to have him home

Well I guess I was persistent enough because we finally received our authorization code to transfer our domain name to our new web hosting site. Which means that sometime in the next week our website, blog, and e-mail accounts will not work. We will have to set up everything on the new web hosting site. So if you check and our blog is down it is a good chance that our e-mail is down as well.

Well, we aren't really sure. It is close to the time for us to renew our domain name and hosting plan. We have already pruchased a new hosting plan, but we are having issuses with our current company (Globat.com) in giving us the code to transfer our domain name. We were concerned about this happening since we had so many issuses with them last year. Globat has also had problems of their own

Well here is another blogging marathon for me. I finally had a little bit of time to work on updating the blog. I hope you enjoy all of the pictures and videos. I will try to write some tomorrow, but here are lots of pictures and videos for you to enjoy!

Our smiley boy! Isn't he adorable? We think so! Garret's new way to sleep. I still have to wrap both arms up, but he gets his right arm out most of the time before he falls asleep. Eating table food for dinner, he would rather eat table food instead of baby food now. Doesn't he look sneaky in this picture? Garret and his buddy Aidan. Aidan's last day is on Monday because his Dad is

This is what I saw when I looked at the kids the other day. I think Kayleigh assisted Garret in doing it on this day. But, since then he tries to sit up all the time in the bouncy seat. He did flip it over into my lap yesterday. The adventures are just beginning with Garret. He has started to move around at times. Somedays he is all over the place and other days he is happy to just stay in a

I never knew I would be happy to hear that our high is going to be 40F. The last day or two we have gotten up to 40 degrees and that is supposed to be our high for the next few days. Yesterday I went out and shoveled the deck without a jacket because it felt so warm. Last night on the news they said that the next 5 days should be snow free. It showed that the last time we were snow free for five

One of the advantages of being licensed by Family Child Care (FCC) office on base is that I can get lots of toys and furniture from them to use while I am doing FCC for free. I was able to get some shelves for the toys, a set of 4 cubbies for the kids stuff, another high chair, and lots of things for them to play with. I was able to get some dress up clothes that will work for a boy or a girl.

If I am busy doing something and Garret starts to get fussy I will ask Kayleigh to talk to him to make him happy. On Tuesday, she was playing with him and I looked over to check on him and he was not in the spot he had been in a few minutes before that. I didn’t see Kayleigh either, so I called for her and asked where Garret was, as I walking into the living room from the kitchen this is what I

Sorry for the lack of posts this week, but this week has been crazy!!! We had a quiet long weekend and Monday. On Monday we woke up to a big snow storm again. Kayleigh didn’t have school on Tuesday, but she still had her dance classes in the morning and then cheerleading in the evening. After her cheerleading we went to the meeting about Quest Academy. The meeting started about 6:30pm, but

Well Monday-Friday of last week was pretty good. The new routine worked every other day. Tuesday and Thursday Garret was still up numerous times, but on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday he slept all night. Starting on Saturday he started waking up more again. This week has not been as bad as two weeks ago, but he is getting up a few times a night again. I am debating on taking him back to the

Tuesday night a friend of mine and I went to a meeting about Kayleigh’s new school. We both left the meeting feeling great about our decision to send our kids to Quest. She is still waiting for the next lottery to find out if her son has a spot. The e-mail I received said that it was going to be a parent meeting, so we thought we would end up sitting there and listening to them talk. But,

Garret loves to laugh, especially at Kayleigh. Tonight I caught her using Crissy to make Garret laugh. I know it was torture for Crissy, but Garret was so cute too not get it on video. I am not responsible for how many lives Crissy lost tonight! :) He has found his tounge the past few days and loves to chew on it. I spent two days constantly checking to see if he was trying to eat something

I can't believe it, but it worked. As soon as I pressed publish last night, Garret started making noises and I eventually had to get him out of his crib. I wrapped him back up and then picked him up. He was falling back asleep as soon as I picked him up, so I held him until he fell back asleep. With the night starting off that wasy I did not have high hopes. I heard him wake up around 3:30

Well we are making some progress on the sleep issue with Garret. Here are a few things that I think might be causing some of his sleep problems. 1. He wants someone with him. Solution-I put a mirror that hangs at a slant so he can see himself and he thinks that another baby is with him. 2. He does not like to be in the dark. Solution-His bedroom lights dim, so I will leave them

Most of you know that we do not like the school that Kayleigh is currently attending. We do not feel that she is getting what she needs from her teacher or the school in general. She has regressed with many things over the school year and it is very frustrating for both of us as her parents. A new charter school is opening up about 7 1/2 miles from our house. We found out at the end of last

Last night Kayleigh played dress up with Garret. I'm not sure he enjoyed it as much as she did. I have a few other pictures where Garret has an Ariel crown on his head, but Kris said they are NOT allowed to be posted on the blog. Oh well, I still have them for black mail when he gets older! :)

Look how brave and/or crazy I was. I let these two take bath together. Kayleigh LOVED the fact that Garret was big enough to take a bath with her. Garret seemed to enjoy it as well. He loved the fact that he had toys to play with and didn't pay any attention to the water or to Kayleigh. I don't think I will give them a bath together all the time, but it can now be a special treat for

Shadow still runs and hides from Kayleigh the majority of the time. Today before I gave the kids a bath she jumped off our bed and went to hide under it. I guess she thought that we could not see her since she had her head under the bed. I thought it was cute.

Well I haven’t been. Kayleigh and I are both recovering from sinus infections and Garret is recovering from an ear infection. Both of the kids went to the doctor last Friday and have been on antibiotics since then. A few days before that Garret started waking up around 5am and would not go back to sleep until I nursed him. Well after a day or two of that he started waking up around 1-2am

Well I have tried to post this twice, so hopefully the third time’s a charm! Kris left in during the snowstorm on Saturday morning and the snow still hasn’t gone away! I woke up Wednesday morning to 5” of snow covering the driveway. I got to shoveling to get it clear before the parents started showing up. The first one is from the front porch after I had shoveled the driveway and the last two

Kris made it to the NCOA safely. We have a huge snow storm in the area right now, so it wasn't an easy drive for him. He had to put his tire chains on for a few minutes yesterday, then a snow plow came by, so he had to pull over again and take his chains off. He was on the road for over 11 hours yesterday and he drove about 1 1/2 hours this morning. He didn't really have to drive in snow
