3 weeks old and the kids still love her.

Audelia has been such a blessing.....

My children continue to amaze me everyday. Alyssa and Wyatt have the Swine Flu and the thing that is bothering them the most is the fact that they are not allowed around the baby. We have had no jealousy issues even with Darion. The kids all just want to hold her as much as we will let them and when they do they are so gentle and sweet.
Audelia is so pretty and is such a sweet girl. We are so blessed to have her in our lives. She is 3 weeks old now and our main focus is keeping her healthy and free from the flu. We are all on Tamilflu to treat and try to prevent the Flu and hopefully that will help keep Audelia healthy. I am wearing a mask now as a precaution so I am hoping that between that and breastfeeding her little body will be Flu free.

I had fun playing with the camera and my photo editing program yesterday. I haven't been taking as many pictures as I normally would have because I keep having to hide the camera instead of having it out at my reach so that we don't have a repeat of what happened when the boys found the old camera, may it rest in peace.
Audelia fell asleep after her bath on her changing table yesterday so I took advantage of this photo opportunity. I had just put her first pair of beaded socks on her that Aunt Joanna had made. They are still big but that just means she will get to wear them longer.

On Friday Alyssa got an award for Excellent Conduct and for Being on the Honor Roll. She is enjoying her new school and all the extra stuff that the Classical Center has to offer. On top of the extra classes she goes to daily she gets to participate in an enriched art class that she goes to once a week before school. She was also invited to participate in a district wide storytelling competition that she has practice for once a week untill later in November when the competition takes place. She is still taking Piano and I am amazed when I hear how far she has come since she started a year ago. Her teacher is a very talented musician, and a good friend of our.


This is the boys playing in the tub and driving each other crazy. They usually beg to get in the bath and then yell at eachother most of the time.

This is Darion doing to Wyatt what Wyatt always did to
him, I guess it's payback. Maybe Wyatt will realize someday that whatever he does to Darion is really a lesson for Darion on how he can later annoy Wyatt.
