Please pray

We are asking that you please pray for our babies. Isaiah has been having a runny nose and not sleeping the best, which is hard on momma when she is already up with a baby. Bella started last night with a bad cold. She is so full of junk she has trouble breathing and gags, causing her to spit up most of her bottle. She also can't be laid in her crib, even though she is on a wedge with a big quilt under it to prop her more. My mom stayed last night so I could sleep. She spent the night on the recliner with Bella and got maybe an hour of sleep. So I am thinking my night will be the same tonight. I put vicks on myself so she can breathe it in too.
I am so thankful for my mom because I also have a cold and sinus problems, so getting a night of sleep did me well. I am also having complications from stopping nursing so I need to call the Dr tomorrow for an antibiotic, so I don't become very sick. My mom is the best and I am so thankful for her and all her help. She also helped me get ready for church and came back tonight and bathed Isaiah and held Bella for a while since she needs to be upright, for her reflux and her stuffiness. Of course, dad came too and kept Isaiah entertained for a while.
So in this busy time of year, we ask for extra prayer. Especially since we are searching for a job, needing to sell the house and packing up.
May God bless all of you during this Christmas season and keep you safe and healthy!

Thanksgiving

The next couple posts are from Thanksgiving day at my parents house. It was Bella's first Thanksgiving. This was the only onesie I could find in newborn size to fit her. She had to have one, so I settled for it, even though it wasn't my favorite. I am so thankful for my family!

Grandma

Andy's parents got to come up for Thanksgiving at my parents. They haven't seen the kids for about 3 weeks, so it was great to see them. Grandma had to get her snuggle time in with Bella.

Dancing

Isaiah was dancing to the music on this alphabet toy.

Loving Bruno

My mom told Isaiah to smile and it looks like Bruno is. He loves this dog so much.

Learning their letters

Silly

Thanksgiving Day 2008. I promise it is just sparkling grape juice. Isaiah looked so silly!

Riding his tractor. When you tell him to smile, he does this funny face. It is too cute!

Pretty girl

Just some pictures of my beautiful little lady!

Just Isaiah

Just pictures of my cute, sweet little boy. I love him to pieces and he makes me laugh every day!

Pap-pap's girl

Pap-pap loving on Bella.

Fall fun

Isaiah stayed at Nana and Pap-pap's one Friday night. Momma and daddy went to a dinner. Nana loves to have Isaiah stay over. He sleeps with her in the guest bed. He is always so funny! She had to get some cute fall pictures with her decorations.

Pretty in Purple

Isaiah loves to watch over Bella. This was a Sunday morning before church. Of course Nana was there with her camera.

Sleeping beauty!

Sleepover

Nana stayed one night to get up with Bella so momma could get some sleep. Nana was so tired the next day, but loved it. Both girls in their pj's.

Silly Isaiah

Isaiah was being silly when Nana was trying to take his picture. He had to show us his bull from his farm animals.

Thumb sucker

Bella has sucked her thumb a few times and it is so cute. She started when she was still in the hospital.

Look at those bright eyes!

Just Bella

These are just various pics of Bella and Isaiah since she was born. I finally got pics from my mom's camera.

For Auntie Meredith

Auntie Meredith is keeping track of how many days it has been since I've put pictures of Bella on the blog. Since she lives across the ocean in Africa, I thought I would comply with her wishes! I just hope she doesn't get a swelled head. These pictures are from a few minutes ago Aunt Mer, so they are the most recent! Bella loves her other aunties too! She is missing Auntie Joy or Jah, as Isaiah says!
