Christmas Card Outtakes

I had it all planned out in my head.... we were to get family pictures taken... we'd print our cards using those pictures and then I'd have them in the mail by the 15th! We went and had our family pictures taken, and less than 20 minutes into the session, it started pouring rain. We don't see much rain, and we love it when it does, but did it have to rain during our photography session??

I was forced to forgo my perfect plan and decided to improvise. On Saturday morning, at 8am, we took the kids down to the park and snapped some shots of our own. These are the outtakes! If you want to see the outtakes from last year... click here... our babies have grown so much this year!

Now, for a quick update...

Owen is standing up and trying SO hard to pull to a stand. He'll walk if he hold both of his hands, he says 'sssaaannnndddd', and he is so excited to be up on his feet. We are THRILLED!!

We went to Cardiology on Monday and Dr Stock was happy with Owen's cardiac output. We are both a little concerned about the puking, which is constant. Some days, like today, he has puked five times or more. He's still gaining weight at a rapid rate, but I still worry. We scheduled an echo for Jan 25th to make sure his heart is doing okay, and we'll do it sooner if necessary. In the meantime, I started him on Prevacid again and we'll take it day to day.

Kamryn is counting down the days until winter vacation. No school for three weeks!!! She has her school holiday party today and her 4th grade musical is tonight.

We are done shopping, still baking and are totally excited for next week!!
