Goal

OK...my goal tomorrow, to start off the New Year, is to get some pictures posted.

Hope everyone has a Happy and Safe New Year!

Merry Christmas!!

We are in Centralia right now and just finished opening presents from Santa. Braylon was a good boy and got a ton of presents. We will be at my Grandma Macke's tomorrow night for Christmas, Feldkamp side Saturday evening and then we will be heading to Hanover later that night. We will spend the rest of the weekend and Monday in Hanover. Chris's birthday is on Monday and it will be nice to spend that day with his family. He will be the big 28!! I will post again later with pictures and more updates.

Merry Christmas everyone!! I am so excited that it was a WHITE Christmas this year!

Only Nine More Shopping Days Until Christmas!

Hello All! Just wanted to update all of you on what we've been up to for the past few weeks or so. Braylon has been doing pretty well with his weight gain. We took him back in today for his follow up with the nutritionist and was elated to hear that, over the past 27 days, he has gained an average of 16 grams per day! The average weight gain per day for a child his age is about 6 grams, so this was wonderful news! That is equivalent to about 1 pound during this timeframe.

A little over a week ago we took Braylon to get his picture taken with Santa. Unfortunately Braylon didn't like the idea and threw a minor fit. We think he's at that age where people dressed up in strange costumes are a bit frightful.

This past weekend, Renee and her sisters spent the majority of the day Saturday baking all sorts of Christmas goodies. There was enough to bring to work to share with our co-workers and also a tray to donate to Harvesters. Later that evening we visited some family friends and their two daughters, Lilly and Lucy. Lucy was born just this past July, but this was the first time meeting her. We all had a great time and it was a blast watching Braylon playing with Lilly. As you can see in the pictures below, they really hit it off and it was hard getting them to separate. Braylon loves to give hugs and kisses!

Also, please don't be afraid to leave comments on the blog! We love to see that people are visiting. Enjoy the pics below.

How Handsome is He?

A LOT according to Mommy and Daddy. :) I just had to put this picture of Braylon up(pic taken by Grandpa George at Thanksgiving). He is just too adorable. He is also displaying his new haircut. We buzzed it off a couple of weeks ago and I LOVE it. It makes him look a lot more like a little boy. Braylon has a little bit of a cold right now and is not eating very well. And as most of you know this is not good, since we are having a hard time getting him to gain weight. I wish I had a little boy that liked to eat like his dad. :) Then I would have no worries. Hopefully this will pass and he starts to eat again.

My sister Robyn has moved back to KC from Wisconsin this past weekend. She will be staying with us for awhile. We are so happy to have her and so excited she is back home. I think Braylon has a new best friend. She pay A LOT of attention to him and he LOVES it. :) Plus Chris and I get some yummy meals prepared for us. She likes to cook! How much better can it get? I don't think it can. I am just so glad she is back closer to home!!

I am going to try and take Braylon to the mall this weekend to see Santa. We'll see how it goes. Hopefully I'll have some photos to post!
