Christmas

Sorry for the delay in posting anything.  I was reminded yesterday by my little brother that we need to update this blog! 

I've been busy posting pics and things on facebook that I haven't posted anything here.




Life has been going pretty well lately.  We are enjoying the Christmas season.  The boys are still not very aware of Christmas and that it's now only a day away.  But they are aware of the Christmas trees and the lights outside as we drive at night - especially Hadrian.  He loves pointing out the lights and the moon :)  As soon as we got into the car last night, he found the moon and says "see mommy, the moon there's the moon right there"  I couldn't see it "no I can't see it"  "see right there, there it is" "nope I still can't see it"  "mommy, it's right there look" "okay, now I see it" He wasn't satisfied until I had seen it :)  The boys are singing a couple christmas jingles - Hadrian sings in his sleep - the other night he was sleeping in our room on the floor and I woke up to him saying "santa cwaus is coming to town"  (his l's are w's)




Matthan is doing well in school and therapy.  We are really thinking about trying a diet for him after the first of the year it's a GFCF (gluten free, casein free) diet.  It has helped many children with autism spectrum disorders, such as himself.  So, we might take the plunge and try it and see if it helps him at all.  It's a little overwhelming, but worth the try I think.  He is such a sweet boy, Matthan loves to give hugs and kisses these days - which is such a blessing to us. 

Hadassa is on her way to crawling.  I can't believe she's 8 months already.  She's eating a lot more different foods now, cheerios, cheese, yogurt, wow!  It goes by so fast.

I will try and post more here for those that do check up on us every so often. 

Merry Christmas!

Everyday Life

On Mother's Day Oma en Opa left for the Netherlands and on Monday Jair went back to work. So, now we are back to everyday life. It's been okay for the first 2 days thus far. It is an adjustment still though - me home with the three kids :) Hadrian is probably having the biggest adjustment out of everyone.

I hope to post some new pictures soon....

Hadassa Rae

Hadassa was born on the 22nd of April at 5:20 pm. She is so adorable! She weighed 7lbs 1 oz and is 19 inches. She is doing really well, nursing great and the first night home slept wonderfully. However, the 2nd night home was a total different story ~ I will be a zombie today :) Here are a few pictures...

Brotherly Fun...

We've made up the guest bed for Oma & Opa (they arrive in a week) the boys think it's pretty fun to have such a bed to jump on and play on...pictures were in order at this time...

Easter

We had a great Easter! Good church service, good food, lots of fun! Matthan really got into coloring the eggs this year as well as hunting for them, but Hadrian wasn't quite as interested.


Soul of New Orleans

In March we went down to the Oregon Symphony in Portland for a concert. It was a concert we had chosen for the one that we couldn't make in December due to the weather. It was really good, jazzy, trumpets, well symphony, but fun! My mom & dad went with us and we had a really good time!

Kindness

It's been probably about a month now that I had gotten walking pneumonia. I was so sick, I had lost my voice completely for about 5 days and was pretty much useless around here. Anyhow, one day when I was really at my worst - completely tired of being so sick and coughing so much, I got a special delivery....flowers from my cousin Julie. It brighten my day so much and even the days to come as they sat on my dinning table. I wanted to post the pictures sooner but....

Baby Shower


I had the most amazing baby shower last week! A tea party, with all the perfect food, table scapes, and friends/family. I was so blessed by it. I got a lot of wonderful gifts for baby girl as well. The pictures don't really do the "tea party" justice, it seriously was a real tea party. Anyhow, a few pictures to share. I am highly anticipating the arrival of baby girl now...

Tears & Birthday Cake

This morning I was having a rough bout because I had been up half the night so I was pretty tired and not feeling all that well. I can't wait for this baby to arrive! Anyhow, as Jair was leaving for work I was crying a bit and getting Matthan dressed for school. Matthan asked "what are you crying for mommy?...You want some birthday cake too?" Nothing like the sweetness of a child to make you smile and get you out of your slump :)

note: more posts to come soon...baby shower...Matthan riding his trike.
