I am just off of work after a seemingly extra long night. I'm not sure why, though, because the kids slept great, and actually the first one didn't wake up until 7:15. We normally have 3 or 4 awake prior to 6:30, so it was a nice break, but I think I am just emotionally spent. John and I had a big argument over the phone at about 3 am and I think ( Read more... )

holy toledo! I guess its about time I update this thing, huh. Things have been crazy. I wish I could get on here at work--it would definately get a 3-4 time a week update if I could! Kyli is growing up so fast. She is almost 17 months old and is RUNNING everywhere she goes. She says new words everyday and is just the absolute joy of our lives. She ( Read more... )

WOW! its been forever and a few days since I have updated this thing! Things have been sooo crazy! I am lucky to get online to check my email every day! Kyli is 9 months old now and had her 9 month check up Friday. She is 20 lbs 12 oz! She is very much a busy body! She definately gets where she wants to go. She is a very good baby though. We were ( Read more... )

Time goes by far too fast these days--i really feel like my life is in fast forward ever since Kyli was born. I can not believe that she is 8 weeks old already! I returned to work last week friday and it has been killing me being away from her. To add to the stress my classes started this week as well. I am only taking 2, thank goodness. I don't ( Read more... )

Kyli Renae Cady was born at 1:22 pm on November 23, 2006. What more could we ask for to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day! She is sooo precious.

She will be on Sioux Valley Hospital's Cradle Roll tomorrow. ( Read more... )

Well we are trying to regain some sense of normalcy in our lives. It has been a crazy couple weeks. The funeral was on Friday. My mom did the sermon and John gave a wonderful Eulogy. I know he made his dad proud. His mom is going to have a harder time with things because she is alone now--its easier to stay busy when you've got other people around ( Read more... )

John's dad passed away a little over an hour ago...we sure didn't expect it to happen this soon. He was really trying to hold on so he could hold his first grandbaby...but he just couldn't anymore...he was having a hard time breathing...the oxygen wasn't helping..his lungs filled up with fluid and he was gone...

Wow has this ever been a rough week. On Monday we finally demanded some answers from the doctors at the VA hospital regarding John's dad. Turns out its not such good news. It all came as a slap in the face because we thought that they were actually treating him, trying to contain the cancer and extend his life...turns out they can't treat him. Its ( Read more... )
