A little back ground

I decided as I was putting together our yearly Christmas news letter, that I needed a blog. Why? Because my news letter, that is also our Christmas cards, is 6 pages this year. I saw that and yelled WHAT?? how could I have done so much in a year that it took 6 pages. Then I realized it's because I have 4 great kids, and a wonderful family who live busy lives. So I decided to shorten the letter/cards, and put in the address for Our new blog, That being said and wile I realize most of the people that will read this know Jason and I, I also realize people sufe these sites, and make meet new people this way too. So here is a lil back ground on us.



Jason and I met in 1997, We were together from then on. We had our 1st baby a girl we named Madalyn in July of 1998. She took her time getting here 8 days after my due date. She looks alot like Jason and his side of the family, We got married in May of 2000, I loved our wedding- still do -. We had our 2nd baby a boy -Collin-in November of 2000. He was in a hurry to get here trying to be born a full 8 weeks ahead of time. We held him off though and he was born at 36 weeks (4weeks early). We decided that we wanted another baby in January of 2003 (after 2 lost) and in Febuary we were Pregnant with number 3, another boy -Aden- He was in a huge hurry and was born premature at 33 weeks. He was in the NICU for 18 days We then decided we were done having babies. We had a slim to none chance of having a full term baby, and Aden was a slow grower, with some developmental delays. All from being premature. God on the other hand had other plans. In Febuary 2006, I went to the doctor got a clean bill of health, 4days later I had a headach, and deep down knew why. Took a test and yep number 4 was on his way. We were shocked to learn at my 1st visit that I was 9 weeks and 3 days pregnant, we were thinking more like 5 weeks. That was not a great pregnancy, I was on bed rest for 7 weeks when I finally had Landon at 31 weeks. He spent 58 days in the NICU. He was born in July 2006. He is now almost 16months old, and is doing good. He has Reflux and is having some big ear problems. But we are lucky, we know what being a preemie could have ment for him. God has blessed us with our kids and we would never ask for them in any other way. Now you might be asking. SO you planning on any more kids? Well no, but we were not planning on #1, 2 or 4 either but they are here.

I guess that's really it. There are alot of details that aren't so important now and some that I'll touch on later. I am not sure how many times I will update, but I am thinking once a week unless something happens and I need to update on something. So I guess I will start tomarrow.
