Two Years Ago...

I was getting ready to have the worst night sleep of my life. I was due to check into the hospital the next morning at 530 am to have my scheduled c-section to deliver Curran. I honestly cannot believe that it's been 2 years since I had a baby. Curran Kathleen was delivered at 7:56am on September 22, 2007. I cannot believe how lucky I am to have a boy and a girl - it is such a wonderful gift. The things that make the 2 of them so different make me love them even more. Here are some pictures of my sweet baby girl from the past 2 years:


Probably at 2 weeks or so here with big bro in his Browns jersey:




Four months here, for her baptism pics. We haven't been to church since:







Our little lady at one year old!

All sass at about a year and a half:

A couple of things that continue to surprise me every day about her:

• She sleeps like a rock. I am not joking, she has not made a peep in the night for over a year. Sounds like I am bragging but she is absolutely comatose come bedtime.
• The amount of milk this child drinks. I am not a big milk drinker, nor is Steve or Brayden, but she wants nothing else. Today I gave her a cup of juice because she hasn't shit in 2 days and she threw it at me.
• How much she talks! Her new thing is, if I am tickling her or kissing her too much she says - "Easy mommy, easy!".
• She is fiercely independent and can be very mean. She doesn't like when you even look at her the wrong way - yikes.

We love our little Mibot girl!!

On to other more current things....we had a wonderful time at the OSU tailgate. Beautiful weather, and we took Braydo for the first time. He did pretty well at the tailgate, but once we got to the stadium the wheels came off the bus and we had to go. The kid is 3 and a half and still has a very hard time when he doesn't get a good 1.5 hour to 3 hour nap in the afternoons. So he freaked at the game and we had to leave, but no worries, a fun time was certainly had at the tailgate.

Dad and Braydo:

Me, Lissa and her sister Kate:

After the game, we drove to Catawba. We are anxious too eek out the last few nice days of summer with our boat. Well, disaster struck. Brayden was running around with a blanket over his head, fell and caught the skin right over his eye on the TV cabinet. It split wide open,and bled like crazy. I HATE going to ERs, Urgent Cares, more than anything. It's such a long wait and I want to make sure its totally necessary before we go.

My dad was up with us and summed it up quite nicely - "if you were a hillbilly you could probably just put a band-aid on it and let it go, but since he looks like Powder and would probably scar pretty badly, you should take him up to the urgent care." So off we went. The urgent care is right across the street from the Jet Express in Port Clinton. Can you imagine the madness that they must see? He ended up with three stitches and was a very tough dude. I love him so much -
