One year celebration

A couple of days after Landry's bday, I took him to his one year well check and he was 22 pounds and 30 inches tall! She said he looked great and he really was not behind at all! Now if we can just get him off of the bottle! We took his picture with his pediatrician, Dr. Guetersloh.(lady with long brown hair) Then we went to visit the nurses at the hospital. We took a picture with Kay, the nurse practioner who did my many sonograms over those two months in the hospital, and also Paige, one of my dear, favorite nurses. They were so glad to see Landry and how much he had grown. Then we went to see Dr. Lampkin, my OB, and his nurse Sylvia. They were all so sweet and are all like family to us!

The flower pictures are from Mother's day. Mother's Day fell on the anniversary of Lane's passing this year. The birthday was not bad at all....this day was by far the worst. It was great, in that I spent it going to church with my family and we put flowers on the altar to remember all three of our angel children. It was sad on the other hand because we did not have Lane. However, we know that we DO have Lane in our hearts! That is what keeps me going.. We will see him again! Getting past that one year anniversary was a feat in itself, now we are just looking forward and focusing on the positive...our two beautiful children on earth and the love we all share for each other!

Summer is HERE!

As you can tell, I am trying to catch up on my posting! The end of school was so crazy for me. Now, I am home with my kiddoes and it feels so good! Last summer was really hard for our family and I felt like I was a zombie just going through the motions. This summer, I actually have the kids on a good schedule. We have already been om our swimming pool a number of times! Landry goes down for a short nap in the mornings and that is when Layken and I spend some time together playing "school", watercoloring, or playing outside. I get them to go down about 1:30 and they sleep until 3:30 and sometimes 4! I am alot happier person when they get that nap in! What I thought might be a long summer, just might turn into the most enjoyable, especially spending time with our kiddoes! They mean everything to me and I thank God each day for them!

Just more pics of the birthday party!

Landry's first birthday

Well, here are some pics from Landry's first birthday. Landry had a blast! He absolutely LOVED that sweet, blue icing. Layken had fun helping him open his presents. After the birthday party, we went out to the cemetery and let go balloons in honor of Lane's birthday, too. It was a very hard day, but also very uplifting. Landry has come such a long way from being on the ventilator when he was born!
