The latest...

Hi! It's been awhile again since I've updated-I just can't seem to find time to do things like this-or I should say make time! When the girls go to bed, we usually go to bed! Ansley is 3 1/2 years old now and Kayleigh is almost 5 months old. Time is flying by, and the busier we are the faster it goes! Ansley is out of preschool for the summer and will return first of September. She LOVES school. She missed alot of it last year due to her cough. She had no other symtoms besides the cough and her doctor finally diagnosed her with RAD (Reactive Airway Disease), which is another term for asthma. The dr said her airways are reacting to an unknown allergen. I want to have her tested for food allergies to see if its something she's eating. I don't want her to continue having this cough if we can help it. She has been doing breathing treatments for about a month, one in the am and one at night, but I hope that we don't have to continue doing that for much longer. She seems to be better, for now. Ansley is having a good summer so far-playing outside all the time, riding her tricycle, playing with friends, and doing stuff with the Moms Group all the time! I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't joined that group-its a wonderful group of ladies! Ansley was recently the flower girl in my cousin Paige's wedding. She did an awesome job-I was pleasantly surprised. Ansley tends to be shy when she is first around people she hasn't seen in awhile, so I didn't think she would like having to walk down the aisle and stand in front of all those people, but she did it!



Kayleigh is growing so fast. She rolled over for the 1st time last week! She coos/talks all the time, laughs, smiles, gives kisses-is so sweet! She loves to stand up in your lap (all the time!) and can even sit up pretty well! She will probably be an early walker like Ansley, who was walking at 8 1/2 months old!! Until recently, she would scream when people held her, other than me, Gary, and Nana. But she has gotten better-thank goodness! She loves to be outside and watch the kids play! She has been sleeping through the night since about 8-9 weeks old, but lately she's been waking up to eat-She must be going through a growth spurt. Between her midnight feeding and Ansley's bad dreams-I'm up at night alot! But for the most part, they both sleep well.



Gary still doesn't have a job:( I never thought he would be out of work for 5 months!! Hope he finds one soon. He did get to join us on a field trip at Ansley's school to a farm. Afterwards we had lunch and went to Monkey Joes ( a jump place). It was a wonderful family day. We need to make time for more of those!! Gary's sister, Missy, is expecting a little girl in August, so we are looking forward to another addition in the family!!



My mom continues to have headaches daily, some worse than others, and we don't get to see her and Dad as often as we'd like to. She also broke her foot a few months ago and is still healing from that. My parents recently celebrated 40 years of marriage! I feel so blessed to have parents that are still together! They have been so good to me and my family-we love them so much.



My sisters were living in an apartment and moved in with a friend recently, and have now decided to buy a house on their own. They move in this week! I am very excited for them and can't wait to see it! They like to come get Ansley and take her out and spoil her rotten! It gives me a break-which is nice!



Its hard for me to remember what all to put in here! I know I am forgetting stuff to put in here, so I will just put it in the next blog!

Hope you are doing well.
Love
Courtney
