Wedding dress shopping....

Yesterday my three older sisters, my mom, my two sister in laws and my little neice went shopping for my sister's wedding dress. Yes, I was doing a little pouting since I was the only one who couldn't make it. I guess that's what you get when you live clear across the country. Anyway, she found one and I hear it is beautiful. I am so pleased for her.

My cute sister Dawn is one of the best people I know. She is continually trying to do what is right and I seriously don't know anyone who does a better job at it. But, at the same time, she enjoys life and has an awesome sense of humor! She definitely inspires me to be a better person.

Dawn has watched each one of her five siblings get married, and have families and it has been her greatest desire. I am so happy for her and can't wait for her wedding in
August. I also can't wait to be back with my cute siblings, and siblings in-laws.
Love you guys!

It is SO hard to live far away when things like this come up! I feel for you Brenda!! My sister in law just sent me videos of she and my sister going to the Hogal Zoo with their kids and I had those pangs of sadness that I wasn't there with them... Big congrats to your sister tho, that's great!!

I am so excited for Dawn. I hope that she comes to the reunion with her fiance so that we can all meet him. It must be hard to miss things like this. I'm sure that they all missed you.

Brendie,
Just to let you know, we really did miss you and we talked about you. And...if it makes you feel any better, Bekah didn't understand what was so fun about a girls day out.....SHOPPING! She thought it was going to be so fun and was very disappointed when all we did was walk around dress shops. To say the least, she was bored until she got to eat a really good meal. We love you lots Bren!

Oh, what a bummer to miss a sister shopping trip. I love going with my sisters because all the different personalities come out. How great for you sister to find her Prince Charming! (I've been watching Enchanted all week)

OH how cute are your sisters!!! I don't know what it would be like to live away from family, but I can imaige it'd have to be hard. You just have to make the best of it, and blogging about them makes it seem like you're a little closer. I'm sure it'll be a lovely wedding! Wish you were there too!

Brenda, I feel your pain. There are often pics of all my sisters and mom up on their blogs and I'm just not in them. How very sad.

Ah, it must be so fun to have so many sisters! Even though you are far away, it still sounds like you are such a part of their lives. Just think of the fun you'll have shopping one day with all your beautiful daughters!

I'm so glad you put this in your blog, Brenda. It's almost as if you were with us to have you be the one to write all the details. We really did miss you, Dear. This is a time when family is so fun. I'm glad at least you are coming back for the wedding, even though your family will be missed. Can't wait to see you in July. Love, Mom

Shay's B-day, Maple syrup, and Cryosurgery

Image
This last week has been a little crazy for our family. Most of us have been sick (except Brian, Shay, and I) so it's been fun battling fevers and antibiotics, but also trying to do field trips, volunteering at school, doctors appointments, science projects, birthdays, basketball, ballet, iceskating etc. Whew!! I'm glad it's over. Although today is a catch up day on Tera and Shay's science projects, so I will let you know if we survive or not. Okay, a little recap on some of the things we did this last week. *I went on a really fun field trip with Ashtyn and her preschool. We went to Brookside Nature Center to see the Maple tree farm they have. I have to tell you, it was one of my favorite field trips I have ever been on. We got to see the sap from the Maple trees come out and into the buckets and we got to taste the real maple syrup. It was so yummy. It's going to be hard to go back to the fake stuff... We learned all about photosynthesis and it even stopped rainin

Yep, we had our baby and feel so blessed. Sorry it has taken me so long to post, it's been an adventure that we never expected this last week, but now we are all well and happy. She was 6 pounds 9 ounces and is 19 inches long. I'll write the story soon. Here's some pictures ... Brynley in the NICU.... Going home day!

Club Feet

Image
Brynley was born with club feet. She had to have casts on both legs up to her thighs for eight weeks. She had new casts put on every week and a half to two weeks. During this time she had surgery on her tendons so they will grow longer. She finally graduated to braces that she had to wear night and day for six weeks. Now, she is out of her braces during the day and just wears them at night until she is four or five years. Phew! It's been a long process, but we are just grateful that this is the only problem she has had to deal with. So, here are some pictures of her casts and braces, thought you might enjoy! First Casts Blessing day! Braces!
