LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!

Have fun in Florida Daddy... Bring back something special!

Home Sweet Michigan

Maddie and Kaine wrestle on the floor as one of the many past times at Grammy and Grandpa's house. So is being spun around on the kitchen floor until you almost puke by Uncle Matt. Mya is still a little too young for these two sports. Maddie was the person that got to hold Mya and it was just too cute. The oldest grandbaby holding the youngest. Then I let Nickolai hold her. It was really driving Amy up the wall. I think that is why I did it. She did finally hold her followed by Chrissy. It was such a crazy night that first night, but at least the plane ride was okay. Tim is suffering or sleeping for Jesus in Orlando, Florida with six teens. It sounds like the trip has been well worth every penny so far. Mya and I have missed Daddy so very much though. He will definately have the first night all for himself!!!! Trust me! The first two noghts were good, but the third night of the Sherta sheep song with jusy Mommy didn't work. She was up five times. She hasn't done that in many many weeks. One good thing in Michigan is the weather. Granted we are not in Florida, but some days it seems close compared to Colby. Denver had a wind chill of -11 when we left and we got here and it was around 37 degrees. Not bad. I am sending the next picture sideways because it is so cute, and because Mommy and Grammy still throught Mya needed to dress for the weather. Love ya!

Merry Christmas!!!!

I am ready to hang my first Christmas ornament!!!
Thanks for the box Grammy!!!
Mom and I hanging my ornament...we are definitely happy!!!

"This will hurt me more than it will hurt you."

So yesterday I finally realized what those famous words my dad always said to me before he gave me a spanking. I mean I was the one who was bad (except for that one time JAMES) and I was the one who was gonna get me butt smacked with the belt,paddle,wodden spoon or a hand. Well, I never understood it until yesterday...I felt like I was the worst person in the world.
YESTERDAY...We took Mya for her "Healthy Child" checkup and it includes getting shots. Well, Mya and I were there hanging out and the nurse came in with the paper work for me to sign...it's obviously a standard form because one of the questions was, Is the person recieving the vacination pregnant? Well da...NO,not now or ever. Any ways, I had to sign my name on her shot chart, 6 times,not good, I didn't know they ever had that many shots...I am certain I didn't get allof the shots she will in her lifetime. Ok, so they final came in with the stuff, 3 nurses, and they said, "WHO'S HOLDING HER DOWN?"
Well, that was my job,I got to hold down her arms. One nurse held down her legs and there was a nurse on either side of her. They counted 3...2...1 and all I saw was Mya's big blue eyes looking at me saying, "How can you let them do this to me?" She got 4 shots, 2 in each leg...Now I can say, "dad...I think I understand how you felt."

Love Ya...

Mommy's Bragging

Mommy's turn to brag. Daddy always has the time to get on here and tell everyone how much that Mya looks like him. The funny thing is everyone that we see in town says the same thing. My neurologist thinks that Mya looks like Tim! I am continually apologizing, but it will be funny some day when the attitude backs up the look. Wednesday is doctor day at our house. I have my 6 week check up and Mya gets her first real round of shots. Daddy will have to deal with the unhappy baby though. Baby Tylenol will be his best friend. I will be having tests run and talking with the doctor to see if my new medicine is working to help my seizures and still function as a new mom.

One thing is for sure...Tim and I are really ready for Christmas this year. Trying to get Mya to put her ornament on the tree was a little tricky, and trying to get a picture of the whole family including Bossy is impossible. Maybe next year!

Love Ya!

6 Weeks Old...

I am not happy in this picture.... These are me chilling with my daddy!!!!

So it's been a couple of weeks since either of us have been on the blog. It's Friday, my day off so I thought I would put a couple of more pictures on the blog.

Mya has been doing pretty good...she has been sleeping pretty good, 5-6 hours straight at night!!!! It has been awesome. Everyone says she looks like me, but I think she looks to cute to look like me. My daughter is so beautiful!!!

Love Ya....

Happy Birthday One Month!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I have Big Toes...Just like my family.

What we have learned in the past month is a lot of team work. Our little girl is growing leaps and bounds! For those of you that like statistics of Mya she is now 8 lbs. even and is 20 3/4 inches long. We will get some pictures on the blog but if you are close to either of the grandma's then they will have 4 new pictures that only they have. She is taking to the powder mix okay instead of the already mixed stuff. She is sleeping more at night which is good for Tim and I. She has had tresh since she was about 12 days old, and if it doesn't clear up in the next two weeks then it is something else. Pray that this new medicine will do the trick. Yesterday Tim, Mya and I lit the first advent candle at our church. It was a nice time. Mya did great and Tim said a great blessing towards Mya. We are looking forward to her first Christmas, and we cannot wait to see everyone when we get to Michigan. He rdedication is going to be January 6, 2007 at Whiteford Wesleyan Church. Church starts at 10 am and Grandpa Shumway will be doing the dedication.

Love you guys!!!
