Happy 4th of July!!!

Happy 4th of July everyone! We hope you had as much fun as we did! My Aunt Fran had us all over to their house for swimming and BBQ. It was great! Aydan had so much fun riding Hannah's pink motorized scooter....Jason did too! =)

The best of friends!!!

I love seeing Aydan and Esme interact! Esme is to the point now, where she loves watching everything Aydan does. She will coo and talk back to him, and she laughs at him alot! Aydan calls her "Esme Beautiful". It is very sweet! I pray that they will continue to be close as they grow up! I feel so blessed to have two wonderful children!!!!

Summer Fun!!!

Aydan LOVES to swim! We spent all day yesterday at Aunt Fran's house swimming. He was jumping off the edge of the pool, and swimming from end to end in his Rhino float. He also loved the hot tub! It was so much fun watching him try new things and enjoy himself as much as he was! Esme sat on my lap and watched the water for about an hour. I didn't hear a peep out of her. She was very peaceful! Jason and I bought Aydan a sprinkler, and he was not the biggest fan! He didnt like how the water was spraying in his face! He would rather be swimming!! =)

Esme's Baptism

Here are some of my pictures from Esme's baptism. Thank you to everyone who made this day so special! Esme is so blessed to have so much love and support on her baptism day, and always! Jason sang and played the guitar during the church service for Her baptism, along with Granda. It made her day even more special! Good job Jason and dad! =)

June 2008....

Esme has been on her apnea monitor for over a month now. Her breathing seems to be doing better. The alarm goes off a lot less than when she first was put on it. What a blessing. She is 10 weeks old now, and can roll over from her tummy to her back, she smiles all the time, and is on the perfect sleep schedule. We are so blessed. Aydan is Potty trained and loves being outside in this nice warm weather! We went to the Detroit Zoo and Aydan loved seeing all the animals. We went to the zoo with our friends Katie and Aaron Gulliver and their two girls. Aydan still talks about his new friend Kylie! Yesterday was a very special day for Esme! She was Baptised! She did such a good job....I think she slept through it all! =) My Goddaughter Hannah was also baptised yesterday, So it was a great day for me!

Sweet Esme

Just a little update on Esme.....We went to the doctor's on Tuesday of this week, and it turn out that Esme has an upper respitory infection. She is taking amoxicillin and I think it is working. She is still having a hard time breathing sometimes because of the congestion, but I think it is on its way out. We also found out that she has a pretty bad case of apnea. She stops breathing quite often, even when she is awake, causing her lips to turn blue and me to panic!!!! We have a therapist coming to the house today to show me how to use the apnea monitor. Esme also had an upper GI on Wed. and thankfully that came back normal. Please pray for Esme and us as well. Thanks =)

4 weeks later...

I has been almost 4 weeks since Esme was born and things are going GREAT! She is such a blessing to our family. We brought her to church with us for the first time yesterday and she slept the whole time. Aydan got to play in the nursery and cried when it was time to leave. Aydan is such a great big brother. Esme is starting to stay awake for longer periods of time, and is tracking objects with her eyes. Her eyes are starting to turn green and she still has all of her beautiful dark hair! =) She is a great sleeper. I can lay her down awake and she falls asleep on her own (most of the time). last week we finally got the rest of our grass and next week we are getting a fence! Aydan is going to have so much fun this summer! Jason has an awesome garden growing in the backyard! I can't wait for peapods!
