Shane and Jenny: Happy New Year!

A little about me...

Thanks for visiting my blog. I started writing here two years ago as a way to update family and friends with the happenings of our growing family. The more I wrote, the more I read (other blogs and websites), and the less isolated I felt on this journey called parenting, or on a broader spectrum, life. The more I wrote the more necessary it's become for me to write. Writing has proven much cheaper than therapy. And along the way I've discovered, I'm not horrible at it, despite what my middle and high school report cards say. Hey, Mr. Casler. Can you deal with THAT?!

Though my writings most often center around my incredibly adorable children, the content will inevitably be shaken up in the near future as I'm about take on the title "working mom" and return to the (paid) workforce. Wish me luck! I let you know how it goes....

Happy New Year!

Here are some pictures from December and some firsts for the new year. On January 2 we discovered two teeth in Peyton's smile after a few unsuccessful attempts at bedtime and a lot of screaming. Poor Peytie! It didn't occur to me to look for teeth! Libby's first teeth didn't arrive until she was 11 months. This just proves that Peyton is her own little person. Still, she's as happy as ever, and her smile is getting cuter by the minute.

Libby has been sneezing with a runny nose for weeks. We finally went to the doctor today, and bingo!....ear infection. She's so prone to them, but shows no symptoms of having a sore ear...until......tonight. After hearing us talk about her ear she kept pointing to it with a whole new urgency. Milking it for all it's worth!

Happy New Year from our house to yours!

Anna I. said...: Teeth!! Garret got his first teeth at about 6 months...maybe even earlier than that. Watch out for the biting while breastfeeding - it comes next! If you need some techniques for getting her to stop biting without hurting yourself, I still know all the tricks! Happy New Year!; January 8, 2009 at 3:15 PM
