December.

These are just some silly cell phone pictures from my phone of our christmas vacation. It's been a crazy december with both ben and Judah being hospitalized with pneumonia and trying to move in a few days and paint the new apartment and visit with our amazing family down south. We even got caught in a blizzard in Virginia



My hats go off to families who have to stay in the hosptial for months. It's heart breaking.


It turns out hilina is a real girly girl who is now obsessed with dress up and princesses.


13 inches in Richmond!


My sister's new puppy, frank!


Curry face.



Picking out the tree!



Saida covered in a trash bag because guess who gets carsick?! At least she smiles in her sleep!

Hope everyone has a happy and healthy 2010!

Ridiculously excited to see the train go by.


Grumpily holding hands while snacking. Who knows...

I love how she shakes her little tushie.

Hilina

Hilina had a big week last week with an ambulatory EEG to measure how many seizures she's having and where they are coming from. She was so brave and carefree about the whole thing, hardly bothered her except for carrying the machine around in her backpack. When it got too heavy I'd have to hold it which means we were inseparable for 3 days. Naps, meals, playground, bedtime, etc. Besides marking all her seizures (don't know the exact number yet but it was a lot) I had the added pleasure of keeping her baby brother from trying to pull the wires out. We don't know anything yet but it's over and hopefully they got all the information they needed. She is such a trooper and has more heart than anyone I've ever met...

Time

2 years ago, right about now we found out who our girls were. And 6 years and a few hours from now ben and I were really meeting for the first time at a little bar in shephardstown, west virginia.
This is time as an ingredient...
