Our Growing Family
Trace smiling- 6 weeks old (Notice the nice wet spot on his shirt, proof that he continues to have reflux issues.)
Trace wearing his first sweater and blue jeans. How cute is that...

We have had a rough few weeks. It began with both girls having bad colds, followed by Kianna's turning into an ear infection and Kaylee's into a sinus infection. Then while still recovering, Kaylee ended up getting a VERY BAD case of the stomach flu which lasted for FIVE days and of course Kianna ended up getting the stomach flu as well for FOUR days. Thankfully, Trace and I never got the stomach flu and Trevor only had a mild ONE day version of it. I'm proud to say we survived all the vomit and diarrhea and are all currently healthy...knock on wood!!!
Trace is doing great! He is beginning to smile and coo more and more. He has also begun stretching out his night time feeding from 10:00 PM to 4:00 AM lately. I'm anxious for him to sleep through the night and am hoping it will happen in the next few weeks. Oh to sleep again without waking in the middle of the night...ahhhhh
Well today was a pretty exciting day at our house. This morning we had playgroup at Chuck-E-Cheese. The girls had a blast playing with their friends and Mommy had fun visiting with hers. We came home for nap time and afterwards played outside in the 60 degree Iowa weather! Yea!!! We are all so ready for Spring. Once Daddy came home from work, we all went over to Trevor's sister's house for Bryker's 1st Birthday Party. Bryker succeeded in getting his chocolate b-day cake all over his face and hair to the point of needing a bath afterwards. It was a fun party. It is hard to believe he is already one!!!!
On the way home from Bryker's party, Kianna randomly began talking about how she wants her doggy. We weren't quite sure what she was talking about, but she just kept saying it over and over, as only a 2 year old can. I finally asked her if she was talking about Allie, our dog that died last spring, and she said yes. I told her Allie was in heaven and that we all want her to come back, but that once someone is in heaven they can't come back. She proceeded to talk about how she wanted her back anyway. Kaylee began talking about how "everyone" goes to heaven. I took the opportunity to ask her "who" goes to heaven and she said she wasn't sure. I told her that people go to heaven only if they have asked Jesus to forgive them for their sins and ask Him to come into their heart. Kaylee said "I asked God into my belly, or stomach, or wherever he is supposed to be". Trevor and I tried hard not to laugh at her precious statement. Kianna, our stubborn one, said "Jesus is not in my heart". Trevor told her that Jesus IS in her heart because she is still so little and can't ask Him to come into her heart herself. She again said "Jesus IS NOT in my heart". We couldn't see her, as it was dark outside, but I'm sure she was looking at her "heart" trying to find Jesus and not finding him...
