Hi! I know it has been way to long and I am sorry. Believe it or not with wonderful dial-up it takes like a half an hour to download a picture and then I have to find things to write about so it is a time consuming process! I hear all the time "I check your blog everyday and its always the same." I usually have to do this when little miss busy body is up at moms. She loves to push buttons especially on the computer! She loves to push my buttons as well. As you can see she is growing up so fast. She amazes me everyday. Things have been rough around here for a little while. Karissa has been sick since November. She has had one ear infection after another.In her short little life she has had alot of ear problems. She also just got over pneumonia.(is that how you spell it? I don't know anyway you know what I mean right?) That is not something any baby or mother for that matter should have to go through! On top of that Brian had Bronchitis at the same time. They are both better now. THANK GOD!!!

Now on to bigger, better and happier things. Brian's brother Shane and his girlfriend Jamie had a baby boy on January 4th. His name is Aiden Jay and he is a sweetie. As you can see in the picture above he is tiny! I could just eat him right up. When he was here you never heard a peep out of him. Karissa screamed from the time she woke up till the time she went to bed at that age. What a difference! We don't see him as much as we would like to though.

Brian is now working for AEON again. He is kinda like a dispatcher for the after hours on-call service. It's weird cause we were so used to him getting paged in the middle of the night before but now he doesn't have to go anywhere, he just has to be the one to wake the on-call technician up. He really enjoys it. Brian is still going to out-patient therapy at Clarkson. He finally got his very own wheelchair after more then a year of waiting! That was pretty exciting. He still plays poker alot and has dreams of being part of the World Series of Poker. I think he will be someday. He is very good. He actually played in a tournament at the Casino and finished 5th place out of 178 people. First place was a $10,000.00 buy in ticket for World Series of poker main event in Las Vegas. He was soooo close. It was very exciting but nerve racking. Fifth place was amazing though! We had a really good time. I now know how awesome he really is at this! He his planning on trying again at the end of this month so please keep your fingers crossed!!!

I would love to write something exciting about me but.....unless you think laundry, dishes and Dr. appts. are exciting, I got nothin! I really don't do much. My transmission went in my car for the second time so I got a new one. Thats about the only thing new with me.

Well again I am sorry about bailing on this blog thing for so long. I will try to be better. Take care.

Love,
Emily
