Snow!

There is nothing better than getting to play in the snow when you feel like poop.


Excuse the half lit house but Jason blew a fuse and has yet to fix it.

Christmas 09

What a fun and crazy busy Christmas we had this year. It was so wonderful to spend it with all of our family and friends. We had 3 family Christmas parties and 2 Christmas's.

It all started the Saturday before Christmas. We had the annual Kiesow/Goad Family party at my Nana's house...
Sunday, Family Christmas party at my Aunt & Uncles...

One of his very favorite presents, the Dirt Devil. If this was a real vacuum cleaner my floors would be spotless...


Wednesday was the annual Beach/Blakely Family Christmas Party. I forgot my camera so no pictures from that night...

Prayers

My mom is dealing with some health issues and the doctors haven't exactly been able to pinpoint what is going on. Long story short, she got the results from her CT Scan last night and they did not find what they were hoping to find. She will now have to give bone marrow at the first of the year to help the doctors further their evaluation. We are hoping for the best case scenario when they get the results but there is still the nagging leukemia thought/talk in the back of everyone's mind. Please keep my mom and family in your thoughts and prayers through the holidays.

Santa

Reed liked the idea of Santa this year but when it came to sitting on his lap, he freaked!

Round 2...still not loving the idea. I thought he would be tough for his girlfriend Grace, but as you can see he pretty much looks the exact same in both pictures.

Dermatologist

For the past 10 months we have been dealing with the most annoying "diaper rash" known to mankind. After countless tubes of diaper ointments, doctors visits and me yelling at Reed on a daily basis to stop scratching his booty so he wouldn't make himself bleed to death, I found a pediatric dermatologist who has finally figured out the mystery diaper rash...Reed is allergic to the blue-dye in diapers. Who would have thought??? Not me!!! So, now that we know how to fix the problem it's finding what I need to fix it. He has to wear a dye-free, chlorine-free diaper. That's really not that big of deal but I have only been able to find 2 different brands, Earths Best and Seventh Generation and the largest count I can find is 22 diapers for $12. How annoying is that??? If anyone has ever seen this type of diaper in a larger count would you please pass along the info. I would greatly appreciate the help! Good news is, he doesn't have a rough, red bottom anymore and doesn't scratch at it!

Daddy Time

Every night before bath and bedtime Reed has his very own Daddy time. They run, wrestle and play hide and seek. This is his absolute favorite part of the day!
