This Christmas was the first one of our marriage that we had the actual Christmas Eve and Day on our own. Nana, Papa, Unkie, Amy and Carly were coming for new years and the Bird side all stayed at the Bird Compound in Idaho. Not really, but they all live within 30 min of each other in ID, us Stoianowski's are the only ones outcast to the midwest:-) Back to Christmas, it actually was a wonderful holiday season for us. We filled the days with baking, playing in the snow, decorating, delivering, playing in the snow, watching movies and more playing in the snow since we had one of the biggest snowfalls in Indiana history! It was very fun to be able to have our kids wake up in their beds and start our own traditions of Christmas and celebrating our Savior's birth. Christmas was overall a great success, like my mom always said to me growing up every Christmas is a bit different with different circumstances, but if we keep the Savior in our mind and heart, and have our loved ones close, they will all be amazing! So without further adieu...the pictures:-)</div>

We decided to make it a family tradition of homemade pizza with homemade crust Christmas night and have our big meal be Christmas Eve since Christmas day is spent assembling and playing with new things. Mom and dad don't have much time, and we're a bit tired from the evening in preparations for Christmas morning. Who knows why because Santa brings a lot of the gifts, but yet somehow, we were a bit tired. This tradition will most likely stick because it ended up being so much fun at the end of a long day of playing to gather everyone together; everyone got to make their own exactly how they wanted. Plus they were delicious!</div>

Dad gave mom an amazing Christmas present, a new sink! The other one before this was the cheap stainless steel, split in half, and only about 4" deep. Imagine the cheap apartment building sinks. I know a sink sounds maybe not the best present for most, but for me, there are no words! I still find joy as I wash dishes, or better yet, have plenty of room to not have to wash exactly after EVERY meal!:-)</div>

Danny got a tool set from Nana and Papa and immediately got to work. Everyone needs a box to chain saw through. Safety goggles are a must, of course. </div>

So this past Thanksgiving (I know I am 6 months late blogging it, but I have always been a strong believer in the saying 'better late then never':) was spent at Nana and Papa's house in Michigan. Like always it was filled with yummy food, reconnecting with loved ones, and crazy fun:-) </div>

Papa has a super cool apron for grilling that has LJ and Danny's hand prints on it. He decided it was about time to get the two newest little ladies of the family. Lets just say it was quite and adventure and both Pyper and Carly's hand prints look more like just a smash of paint. Neither wanted to spread their fingers out once that crazy weird paint stuff was on it:-)</div>

5 Years ago (well in about 4 hours) I became a mother. This was the one and only thing I had ever dreamed of being. People, everyone really, including my college, asked what I wanted to be. What do you want to major in? Where are you going to use your knowledge and talents? The only talents, even as a 18 year old, I believed I wanted to increase and use for the rest of my life was my ability to be a wonderful wife and mother. Yet, no one knows their future. So I learned many things to help me survive and thrive in this world. However, 9 years later, on February 5th, 2009, what I always dreamed of being came true. Lorilyn Julene Stoianowski made me a mother. </div>

Now here she is, a day before she is 5. I tried tonight, as I tucked her in, to talk to her about how 5 years ago she made me a mom. How proud I was of the 5 year old girl she had become. However the only thing she wanted to talk about was how much better she would be now that she is 5. She said she wants to be a better sister to Pyper, and to help me with "Bubbles"(the name that has stuck for Stoi baby #4 in my belly) in any way she can. However I brought it back to how I couldn't be more proud of her. The spirit that joined our life and made me a mother 5 years ago. She is more than I could have ever dreamed of. She may drive us crazy with her questions, craziness and ambition. But in the end she is Lorilyn, and "LJ" is nothing short of crazy and unpredictable. And even though she may drive us insane at times, we love her, and will for eternity. </div>

I love this little man. I can't believe he is 3 and as grown up as he is. I remember when we first brought him home saying to Nanna that I honestly can't believe he will ever be as big as Ryan to tower over you and enfold you in a mommy hug. Still don't know exactly how that will be, but he is growing so fast I want it to be a while before this happens! I love my little bud!</div>

Ryan and Julene Stoianowskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17517374849882487825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620378070266052450.post-85916088355039196282013-10-22T14:15:00.001-07:002013-10-22T14:15:28.118-07:00Birds of a Feather Flock Together<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So it had been over 2 years since the Chris Bird family had all been in the same place, let alone together for a reunion! Lots of planning, coordination and generosity went into getting all 21 of us in the same place at the same time. Because of many circumstances, all the Bird clan besides the Stoi's are in Idaho. Lynette's family went first because Jason got his dream-come-true job and is a teacher at BYUI in Rexburg, ID. Then, Steve, Kori and crew ended up in a situation that led them to be in Idaho Falls (40 min away from Rexburg). Well, obviously to anyone that knows the situation and my family, my parents soon followed. It is such a blessing for them. Steve, Kori and clan were their life and support in Illinois, and now not only do they get the amazing support and love from them, but now Lynette, Jason and kiddos are 40 mins away. Hence, with us being the only ones left in the midwest, we are the traveling crazy circus to get to be with everyone else. Ryan didn't have many vacation days due to his MBA program, so he was only able to join for a weekend. However me and the kiddos wanted much more time than that to reconnect with our cousins, siblings and parents. So I decided to set out on the 11 day journey alone. It was best to have Ryan join us over the weekend to be in the middle of our visit, so I was the lucky one (meaning I drew the short straw) to travel there and back on the plane, layover, changing planes, ending up in SLC then a 3 hour drive, with just me and the 3 kiddos. LOVE them all, but remember there are three ages 4-and-under! :-) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here is a picture documentary of our trip. Honestly though, as difficult as the travel was, being there was such a blessing. To watch my kids form relationships with their cousins, aunts and uncles, and grow their relationship with Grandma and Grandpa were priceless. Family is EVERYTHING. Nothing will EVER get in my way of relationships with my family. I will never get to into my views or opinions of this government or world, because when all else fails there is nothing, NOTHING, but love and family. </div>

So I when I started this blog, I thought people might read it, but I am learning I am not a good enough blogger (in quality or quantity) to gain a cult following. Really, I am ok with that because all this was from the beginning was my journal/scrapbook. So if I were talking to the blogging world, I would now say enjoy this family trip through our pictures. However, since this is destined for our family history scrapbooks instead, I will say, "Here come the pics that help show and describe the amazing time we had and love we felt as we were all able to be together for 11 days!"</div>

I put this here to at least try to document the actual size of my "little nephew" Braxton. I really do remember the day he was born and holding him as a tiny baby. Well that baby is now well over 6 feet tall, and at only 15 years old. He is the sweetest boy ever though and I love hugging my "little" nephew while my head maybe reaches his chest:-)</div>

Later that night we took family pictures at this gorgeous barn Kori had found. Kori was the photographer for everything besides the ones that she was in. Then we had Jeanine take the rest. Kori has a great creative eye and did such a great job! Our family was first because it was freezing and our little kids just were not ok for too long! Gotta love Danny's face:-)</div>

After the actual reunion was over me and the kids headed to Aunt Lynette's house to hang out for a few days because they were on potato harvest break. Yes, that is a real thing in parts of Idaho because so many kids have to be a part of the harvesting on the farms. This was a normal view during those few days. Just makes me happy though looking at cousins just hanging together:-)</div>

So unfortunately at the tail end of our trip the tummy bug started to rotate through the family. For ours, LJ got it first. This was a picture of her the morning after she was up multiple times in the night getting sick:-( All we prayed was the the sickness wouldn't hit the rest of us at least until we were home, and our prayers were answered. We were able to make the 12 hour journey from cars to planes with no sickness. Danny, Pyper and me all got it a couple days after, and it was horrible, but at least we were home! Heavenly Father answers prayers!:-)</div>

This was the picture I took as we were getting to the Salt Lake Airport. I can't lie, I love my mountains. I always feel at home when I get back to them. Not saying at all the 11 day trip with 3 littles was easy, but I can say with all my heart, it was WORTH IT! I loved being back in the mountains. I loved being back with family! But most of all, I LOVED watching my children get to know better and more fall in love with their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Every monetary or earthly thing can, and might one day, disappear in this life. However, our family is always there, and always will be. Thank you Idaho family for hosting and putting up with us. It was an amazing trip!</div>

So I haven't posted for a while again. I keep saying that will change, and it doesn't so maybe I should just accept my blogging deficiency problem. However it is probably time to post a few pics of our goings lately. This summer was long, yet fun. Glad to be back to the school schedule though. Here are just a few pics of what the Stoi's have been up to as of late...</div>

Lorilyn has been in a Dance/Cheer/Tumbling class every Monday night since January. It is a super understatement to say that she LIVES for her Monday night class. She loves loves loves going and loves her teachers and dance mates. This past Thursday was her first ever dance recital. Nana, was wonderful to drive down for a 24 hour trip (8 of those hours driving mind you) to see her and take pictures with her fancy dancy new camera. We had as much fun as anyone could have in that short amount of time. Thank you Nana for coming and for all you do! It meant so much to us all!</div>

Ryan and Julene Stoianowskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17517374849882487825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620378070266052450.post-85566971802612908822013-06-20T16:42:00.000-07:002013-06-20T16:42:23.142-07:00Pyper is 1, REALLY?!<div style="text-align: center;">
My baby is 1. Holy freakin cow. This little miracle who first was dead on the table, then we were told she might be brain dead, then told she might not be brain dead but don't know the extent of her brain damage. Then we went through a LONG 7 weeks of NICU stay in stabilizing her while getting her her G-tube so we could take her home. All the while let's remember we have two beauties at home that needed major attention. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a fighter on our hands. She fought her way even to join this earth then has fought her way farther than any doctors predicted. Yes she still has struggles. Yes she is pretty behind for what "they say" a 1 year old should be. BUT, she is slowly and steadily moving forward. Ryan said from her first days of life that she is our "Slow and steady girl", and that she is. She has at least 4 appt per week. PT, OT, speech (which is the focus for her feeding) and nutrition (because she is still so so small). But all of them are always impressed by her progress. I have learned a lot as a mom. Since I have had 2 children that have developed right on track, if not faster, it has definitely been an adjustment to me to focus on the tiny little victories as progress. But I have actually come to love and embrace them. Who really cares about "milestones"? When you have a child that fought her way back from literal death, to then defy the odds of no real significant brain damage... So what if she is way behind? She is moving forward...always. Actually, the last time she went back was 2 weeks ago when her nutritionist came and she had actually LOST 1oz...no not pound but ounce. But those small things are very important to her. HOWEVER, in the last 2 weeks she ended up with her biggest gain of 10oz! This girl doesn't back down. Everything is SLOW but steady, but she does it all with grace and beauty. There is nothing in this life that makes Ryan and I more happy than seeing her smile that she freely gives during a day. She is one of Heavenly Father's special spirits and we feel so blessed to have her in our family. We love and cherish every day we have with this sweet little lady! Here's to many many many more years of enjoying our sweet little Pyper lady:-) </div>

She is a fighter. She is a doll. She is our Pyper, and we would not be the same without her! Love you pretty little lady! Happy 1st birthday!</div>

REALLY?!!!! I can't believe our little miracle girl is 9 months old! So much has occurred in the last 9 months, truthfully it all just seems like a blur. This little lady, is a fighter. Like we've said before, she fought her way her from the very beginning and she just continues to fight to learn and grow every day. She is definitely behind for a 9 month old, but that was always to be expected. She has to work harder than most babies to learn each thing, but she never stops trying. At the moment she has PT, OT, Speech and a nutritionist most every week. They are assisting her in making sure she continues in the right ways to hit each milestone. She is still fed all liquids through her G-tube, but she now is able to eat 2oz baby food by mouth and does a great job! The therapist promises that she will definitely be an eater, it is just a process to help her learn how. Here are her stats at 9 months:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Weight: 13lb 11oz (yes this is the less than 1%, but at least she is going up in weight, even if it is slow)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Height: 26.5 in (8%)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Head: 42.2 cm (25%)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is now rolling to be able to get the things she wants and we are working on sitting up. Sometimes it is a bit difficult as I follow friends who had babies at the same time and see all they are doing that she isn't, but then I sit back and realize how blessed we are to even have her. She is our slow and steady girl, but they say that that wins the race! Her demeanor is so wonderful. She is by far the happiest and most laid back of all of my babies. Her smiles light up the room. She LOVES her daddy and talks (babbles) to him all the time. How blessed we are to have our Pyper Lynette in our family!</div>

Sept 2012 was full of Pyper growing and developing, LJ starting pre-school,gaining a new part of our family (Buster) and fun with friends and family.

On an evening in the very beginning of Sept, I received an e-mail from a neighbor saying that in the woods behind their house, they had been watching a mommy cat come and go, but they hadn't seen her in a few days, so they went to investigate. There were 4 baby kittens huddled, starving under a log and she wanted to know if anyone could take one into their home. I told Ryan I at least wanted to go check it out, to which he replied, "you know that means we are going to have a new kitty". I actually had never had a pet so I didn't know. Then as soon as I got there, this adorable grey and white kitty left his siblings to come cuddle my leg. I picked him up and "the rest is history" so they say. Ryan was right. This is our newest member of our family, Buster Stoianowski. We more than love him!:-)<br />

So at her school they have something called "Lunch Bunch". It is from 11:30-1PM, after the rest of the kids leave. It is more of a social/fun thing to eat your lunch then play with kids. It is not a cheap thing to add, so I didn't want to pay for it, but after 3 or 4 times of her somehow convincing the teachers she was supposed to stay because she had lunch bunch, forcing me to search for her, only to find her with the lunch bunch kids, then her crying as I took her away, i gave in. This was the first school lunch I ever made as mom. The first of thousands!:-)</div>

The rest of our Sept was spent just having fun and living life as a family. One of the main activities was kiddos riding trikes outside while Pyper slept and Daddy did school work.</div>

This is a pic symbolizing our life. Ryan and I are actually very crazy and weird. That side of us doesn't come out much around others, so not very many people understand. But something like this happens a few times a week, whether it be him or me doing something ridiculous. I think it our way of still finding joy/happiness/crazy/excitement/spontaneity...anything you need in life to keep you happy and fun, regardless if we have 3 kiddos and 1 cat under the age of 4. Real life involves whining, fighting, pooping, puking...you know, all the yucky things. I found the most amazing eternal companion because through it all we can still be silly/fun/weird, whatever we need to stay sane and keep our relationship fun and young:-)</div>

Another highlight of our Sept was having our amazing friends Jon, Kyre, and their adorable son Christian here for a weekend. Jon was the first person Ryan met on MI campus during freshman orientation. He then became an amazing friend and roommate of his. It was so wonderful to have them here. Their little on Christian is incredibly adorable. Can't wait to spend more time as the kids grow and play together!</div>

Well my computer has been out of commission for over 6 weeks and I finally got it back thanks to my super smart hubby:-) So, needless to say there is TONS to catch up on. I've decided that I will do just a very quick recap of each month we have missed. It will definitely not be covered as thoroughly as I would have liked but its just been way too long and if I'm going to get caught up to posting more regularly I need to just get a quick recap out there! So here goes nothing...</div>

August began in a wonderful way with our little Pyper being given and name and blessing by Ryan in our Sunday Service. It was made an especially wonderful experience with Steve and Kori's family along with Grandma and Grandpa Bird and Nana and Papa coming into town for it! Unfortunately the night before everyone arrived Ryan and I both had a horrible stomach sickness that lasted about 12 hours. Hence we definitely could have been better hosts, but it was still wonderful to have everyone together.</div>

August was definitely a VERY busy month for us. Squished in the middle of those two events was a wonderful celebration of the marriage of Unkie and Amy! We got to go spend a week with Nana and Papa that was capped off with an amazing and beautiful backyard wedding. Ryan was the best man, I was a bridesmaid and LJ was the flower girl. It was so wonderful being a part of the union of these two special people. We are so excited to have Amy in our family now (and since this is being posted 5 months later, we are also over the moon that they are adding a little girl cousin named Carly for us to play with!) I took TONS of pics but here are just a few to give a good idea of the wonderful time we had.</div>

Wow, I didn't realize how busy August really was for us! It was definitely full of some very fun times and amazing memories! Hope I can get Sept posted sooner than it took me August:-)</div>

Wow, I really do need to re-dedicate myself to this blog. Far too long goes by with no posts and then I feel completely overwhelmed with so much to catch up on! So I still need to do the month of August and Sept., but first I wanted to make sure I recorded about my kiddos. With 3 kids ages 3 and under, my life is anything but boring, lets just say that. Chaos seems to reign for the most part, but at least the chaos is cute:-) Many mothers are very good about blogging each month with their babies reporting sizes and what they are doing, so that has inspired me to start with my kids so I can remember them as they are in each stage. And so I begin on this adventure with an overall report on all three. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Lorilyn Julene AKA, L.J. and Cheecher</span><br />
- Age: 3 years and 8 months<br />
- Height: 39"<br />
- Weight: 31lb<br />
- Goes to preschool 3 days a week, but would LOVE to go EVERY SINGLE DAY:-)<br />
- Goes to lunch bunch every Monday even though it is expensive for us, but after weeks of begging and trying to sneak her way in there, fooling even the teachers, we gave in for one day/week. And still every day she asks if tomorrow is Monday so she can go to lunch bunch after school. Sunday evenings seem to be the most exciting part of her week since she gets the answer that the next day is Monday!<br />
- She is a very good help to mommy with little Pyper<br />
- She LOVES to antagonize her little brother in every way and whenever she can, but at the same time she looks up to him and doesn't like when he isn't around.<br />
- She has a steel trap for a memory, just like her daddy. She remembers EVERYTHING.<br />
- She is beginning to write her letters and can write LJ by herself on her drawings<br />
- She loves to learn new things and soaks up any information she can<br />
- She is a mix of princess and cars<br />
- She is a crazy ball of loud energy that can drive you insane one minute but have you laughing the next...we love our little 3 year old lady!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Daniel Scott AKA Danny, Bubby, Buggy</span><br />
Age: 2<br />
Height: 35" (66%)<br />
Weight: 27.4lb (37%)<br />
- This little boy has a heart of gold. He has never once tried to hurt his baby sister, but instead can't give her enough kisses and calls her "Honey".<br />
- Is very tolerant of his older sister taking his toys or messing with him and shares even when she doesn't deserve it.<br />
- He is ALL BOY, as anyone who spends any time with him comes to find out. Papa says he is "150% Boy" and Nana says shes never known more of an "All Boy" boy and that is saying something because they had 2 boys of their own! If there is something to climb on, crash into, tackle, jump on, etc...he will do it and love it. He often ends up hurting himself, especially his head (as the picture below shows), but that never stops him for more than a minute or two:-)<br />
- His giggle is infectious<br />
- If I've been away for any amount of time, even just a run to the grocery store, he greets me with a big "MOMMY!" and runs and hugs my leg.<br />
- Any hurt can be made better with just a kiss from Mommy. He will walk up crying and show me his ouchy, I will kiss it, he immediately stops crying and says "Thank you mommy!" <br />
- LOVES cars and you will rarely see him without at least one car in his hand<br />
- Frequently asks to watch football with daddy and if he sees the UofM logo he gets super excited and exclaims "Football...GO BLUE!" This all makes for one very proud and happy daddy:-) <br />
- Our little 2 year old boy is one of the sweetest souls I've known, full of energy, and brings so much joy to our house. We love you Bubby!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Pyper Lynette AKA Pype-Dog and Kiki</span><br />
Age: 4 1/2 months<br />
Weight: 10lb 12oz (1%)<br />
Height: 23" (3%) <br />
- As a previous blog post of mine tells, this little lady is our little fighter. She has had to fight her way into this life from the very beginning and continues to fight every day to recover and learn and develop. <br />
- She is 4.5 months but her adjusted age (meaning you subtract her NICU stay time because that stay just brought her back to more like a normal new born) is 3 months.<br />
- She is almost right on track developmentally for a 3 month old, which is a miracle in itself that she is doing so well with her start. Every professional that sees her or gets to know her is floored and calls her a "miracle" based on how she began.<br />
- She has begun smiling and we can guarantee a smile when we change her diaper, tickle her sides or play with her hands and arms.<br />
- Her sweet spirit seems to radiate to everyone that comes in contact with her<br />
- She rolls from her tummy to her back<br />
- She has physical therapy every Wed and Speech therapy (to help her learn to swallow better) every Thursday and continues every week to improve and surprise the therapists with how well she is doing.<br />
- The PT says she is definitely a fighter and definitely has a drive to grow and succeed<br />
- She loves kisses from her big brother<br />
- She has 2 hemangioma birth marks, one on her belly and one on her leg. She gets these from her Nana:-)<br />
- She has the cutest little dimple in her chin which we hear she gets from Grandpa Murnighan<br />
- Her ears are definitely the defining characteristic of her appearance. We call her our little Yoda, but she is such a cute Yoda! I do however love putting hats on her to see what she will look like with hair and not having those ears be so obvious. <br />
- Her eyes tell you everything. They smile when she is happy, they cry when she is sad, they turn red when she is tired, and they emit determination when she is concentrating.<br />
- Her neck is getting very strong and she is beginning to work on sitting up<br />
- She is now allowed to practice on a bottle a couple times a day but she hates it. <br />
- The speech therapist promises she WILL be an eater, but it is a marathon, not a sprint<br />
- We love our little fighter Pyper and are so blessed that she was allowed to come back to us and be a part of our little home.<br />

So overall my summer seems like one big blur. From the beginning spent back and forth from a hospital then a month or so transitioning at home with 3 babies, then off for a few trips in August, life just flew by. But we all survived and overall have some wonderful memories that were made in the process. Pyper is doing awesome now. She is still on her G-tube feeds but we are slowly working on her swallowing and it is coming along. I have decided since its been so long since posting that I would just do an overview of the month of July and some of the things that happened and experiences we had. Next post will be an overview of August, lets just hope it doesn't take me another month to get to that:-) So without further adieu...<i></i>Life of the Stoianowski's in July of 2012...</div>

This wonderful lady was one of the main keys to my survival of the summer. From coming to help out while Pyper was still in the hospital, to coming as we transitioned in July to help me keep the older ones busy while adjusting to the new born, she was a lifesaver! Moms are great aren't they?! </div>

As crazy as the summer was I was we were still able to squeeze in a little pool time, and even a few swim lessons!<br />

Since it was my 30th birthday this year, Ryan decided he wanted to plan something super special and boy did he do a good job! He got us front row tickets to the Tim McGraw/Kenney Chesney concert with a VIP pass. We were able to get a tour of the football stadium, go up on stage and enjoy the night either on the front row or when tired to up to a luxury box and eat yummy food and relax. It was a very cool thing...I sure do have a wonderful hubby! </div>

If anyone knows us well they know we LOVE to cook together. Ryan usually specializes in the grilling/smoking and I do the sides.

Sorry it has been a little longer in getting to this then I planned but life with 3 babies at home can be a little crazy...well maybe more than a little, but we couldn't imagine being without any one of them!:-) Pyper is doing wonderful. Still struggles with some secretions and still feeding from her G-Tube, but she is calming down and settling into our family and we couldn't be more happy and blessed to have her here. I am sorry if this is pretty long, I am using it as my journal so I am going to put here all I did on facebook so we can get the whole story plus pics... feel free so not read the whole thing if you don't desire. LOVE YOU ALL!!! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So as I said before, instead of writing something totally new I am going to just cut and paste from my facebook updates, since I kept it updated about every day during her 5 week NICU stay. So this post wont necessarily flow writing wise (although since I am terrible at writing I'm sure none of my posts are too wonderful that way:), but it will be much easier in documenting all that happened. So with no further adieu, here we go...</div>
<br />
May 23rd 9PM<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have a baby girl but prayers are needed. She is being transferred to a
NICU. Too much meconium in her lungs, she hasn't breathed on her own
yet, she is intubated. Prayers are so greatly appreciated at this time.</div>
<br />
May 24th 9AM<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Update on our Pyper girl: She is in the NICU and will be for probably a
couple weeks...BUT...the Dr in charge says she is doing incredible for
where she came from last night. She is still on the ventilator as of
now, but there is even a ch<span class="text_exposed_show">ance that
that will come out sometime today. She has a very long road in front of
her, and even some of the residual mental effects from being without
oxygen for a time will not be known, but all major signs right now are
very positive. I also am doing incredible, I was truly blessed. I was
up and showered 3 hours after giving birth and was discharged 4 hours
after the birth. This process has been horrible, but we have truly seen
many blessings thru it all and will continue to I'm sure. We want to
thank everyone for the prayers and thoughts that have been our way and
will still be coming. We have a long road ahead, but all signs are
looking good:-)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Next Update: She is showing some signs of neurological damage, but the
extent of which is still very far off from being known. She is showing
some signs of seizures but they aren't for sure about that either and
will be doing an MRI and EEG later today to try and begin to figure that
out. Good news is that she is off the ventilator and breathing on her
own:-) This is going to be a long hard process (maybe even lifetime
long) in figuring it all out and helping her, but we still feel blessed
we have a beautiful baby girl who is breathing. She has a fighting
spirit and we are blessed to have her in our family!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Latest Update, and its a GOOD one finally!:-) Well we still have a long
way to go, BUT...the MRI was PERFECT. It showed absolutely no
significant brain damage. Also the EEG (which was done for 12 hours)
had ZERO seizure activity. The br<span class="text_exposed_show">ain
activity was still a little slow but they think it is just related to
her recovery process, but that is yet to be completely determined. All
of the nurses (plus our observation) though say she has made amazing
improvement is a VERY short amount of time. She is still not swallowing
on her her own, and has many more milestones to reach but all
indications are pointing more positive instead of negative now!:-)
PLUS, she is a HUGE daddy's girl. She will swing her head in a second
to find him anytime she hears his voice. She was awake and alert
talking to him for a good 45 min tonight and all the nurses couldn't
help but comment how in love with him she was, don't blame her
though!:-) Keep the prayers coming because they are working slowly but
surely!</span></div>

Today's Update: Yesterday evening they tried to give her her first
feeding (though it is done thru her belly button) but she didn't handle
it very well. What that means is that her intestines (which is the

function and they need more time to turn back on. So today they have
decided it is a rest day for her. They are not really going to try
anything and just let her rest and be cuddled, which we don't mind at
all. So definitely still a long road of recovery, but she is still
moving in the right direction slowly but surely:-)</span></div>

Update: Pyper is our little fighter. From the moment she arrived on
this earth, and every moment since she has been fighting for us, to be
able to one day come home and be with our family. She is fighting her
way back to a complete recove<span class="text_exposed_show">ry,
something we were told was probably not possible. She is now slowly
working on getting her gag reflex back which different things like
sucking and swallowing come along with it. We were told she might not
ever get that, but it is there and she struggles through every breath,
now starting to cough and work everything up, and it is getting stronger
every day. She is eating my milk now from a feeding tube and slowly
starting to digest better and better. We still have a road to go before
she will finally be able to come home and begin her life in our little
family, but she will get here. There are no words to truly describe the
gratitude we feel every hour of every day, first for our little fighter
of a girl, and also for the immense love and support we have felt from
so many, many people. Thank you, everyone for your love, prayers and
support. I know I will have more thanking to do, because it is still a
continuing process, but we just wanted everyone to know we read all the
comments and posts and feel all the love and prayers, and it has been a
big part of helping us through this whole experience. So thank you, and
we will keep the updates coming of our little Pyper girl:-)</span></div>

Pyper Update:-) She is doing really good! They just now took out her IV
in her belly button which means she is getting and tolerating all of her
nutrition from my milk, through a feeding tube down her nose. Her gag
reflex is definitely ther<span class="text_exposed_show">e now, but she
still hasn't really begun to swallow or suck very well. The occupational
therapist said her muscle tone and movements are a little slow so they
will be working on that here then it will be continued at our house once
she is released to help her in her developmental processes. So now we
are just in a waiting time for her to begin to suck and swallow better
so hopefully she can get rid of a feeding tube, but when that will
happen is a ways off and still up in the air. Until then we will
continue our trips to and from the hospital and thank again everyone who
is helping make that possible! She is definitely a part of me now and I
just hate being at home without her, but she's fighting so hard and I
know will be home as soon as she can!</span></div>

Update:
She is doing really good, but we are still in a waiting period for her
to begin swallowing and sucking. She is definitely trying harder to do
them, but still it is very weak, so they feel she just needs some more
recovery time. Ho<span class="text_exposed_show">wever, they are
ordering a ENT specialist to examine her to make sure there isn't
something physically wrong with her system. Overall though, we are just
grateful the snuggles and loves we get and pray that all this can come
back to her soon so she can come home to our family! Mommy needs her
girl with her!!</span></div>

<span class="text_exposed_show">June 5th</span>Update!:-) It was an awesome morning for our little family. Pyper
decided this morning to begin her sucking reflex and although it is
weak, every time she feeds (aka through the tube) and also random other
times, she will suck on her paci<span class="text_exposed_show">fier,
like really feeling she is getting the milk through it. It was the
first time I have seen her root then suck, so we are very happy. She is
our "Slow and steady wins the race child" but she is such a fighter and
we are so proud of her! She is still quite a ways away from eating on
her own, but is definitely showing signs of wanting to start to
learn!!:-) We are very happy parents tonight:-)</span><br />

Pyper Update: She is doing wonderful, working so hard and improving
every day. The last 2 days she has been able to handle about 8ml of
milk from a bottle before she gets too tired of sucking and swallowing,
but she does so well with that<span class="text_exposed_show"> little
bit!:-) The plan is to give her that little bit for 2 feedings a day
for the next couple days and then on Wednesday she will have a "Swallow
Study" to make sure that everything is working correctly, but if that
comes back good then we can slowly start increasing the amounts that she
will take from a bottle and the amounts of times she gets offered the
bottle for feeds:-) 52ml is a full feed for her, so she has a long way
to go until she is taking a full bottle, but 8ml is an awesome, and we
couldn't be happier. Can't wait to get this little lady home, whenever
that is!!!!!</span></div>

<span class="text_exposed_show">June 13th</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well things didn't really go as we hoped. She is definitely aspirating
(meaning getting fluid in her lungs) as she swallows, so no more feeds
for a while. Instead she will be having surgery to place a feeding tub
directly in her stomach (it<span class="text_exposed_show">'s called a G
Tube) that she will have and be fed by for an unknown amount of time
until she can safely swallow. Could be a month, or a year, we don't
know. The good thing about it is that she should be able to come home
about a week after surgery if all goes well so we might have her home in
a couple weeks, although obviously we still have a long road ahead of
us. Today we are just trying to focus on the positive of how far she has
come already:-)</span></div>

So today was a very special day for us. Today was the first meeting of
sisters. 3 year olds are allowed one visit in the NICU and it worked
out for us to do it today. Ryan was able to capture this picture that
just melted my heart. The <span class="text_exposed_show">love that
both of them seem to emanate is so adorable. I know from my experience a
sister is one of the most special bond anyone can have (<a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=1274730262" href="http://www.facebook.com/lynette.b.williams">Lynette Bird Williams</a>).
Lorillyn was so adorable with her, kissing her head, making sure her
blanket stayed on, and Pyper gave her more smiles than we have seen her
whole life:-) I love my 2 girls so much and can't wait to watch their
relationship grow through the years.</span></div>

So I definitely feel like this needs to be posted, especially since
tomorrow is father's day. I could never truly express the gratitude and
love I have for the father of my children. They say trials either
bring you closer together or fat<span class="text_exposed_show">her
apart. This trial in our lives has definitely brought us together, but
really because of the man he is. Even as we watched our child struggle
for her life at the very beginning, he was my rock, and he just
continues to be every day. He has taken on rolls that he never had to
before, because he wants me to be at the hospital as much as possible.
My love for this man has just grown every day and I couldn't imagine
going through anything in this life without him. Thank you for being
the father of my children and my best friend...I love you!</span></div>

Surgery went wonderful! She is such a trouper:-) She was actually off
the ventilator before they even brought her back to the NICU, which
usually doesn't happen until a few hours later. So her little G-Tube
button is in place and we will start some feeds starting tomorrow and
begin learning about this new contraption. If all goes well we should
have her home in about a week!!:-) </div>

Since that marvelous day we have had some wonderful visitors and those visits will be documented soon (hopefully:) But overall, I know this was a VERY long post, but it is the story of her NICU stay and I knew I needed it documented and wanted to remember it all. So if you have made it to here reading, thank you, and thank you for everyone for helping us get here also!!!</div>Ryan and Julene Stoianowskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17517374849882487825noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620378070266052450.post-77471023466166199002012-06-24T17:18:00.001-07:002012-06-24T17:18:19.494-07:00Part 1 Of Our Pyper Lynette Birth Story<div style="text-align: center;">
When I thought about writing this post as I was still pregnant, ready
to deliver, I never imagined the post would entail such a story. I had
everything planned, from the induction date, my mother-in-law in town
to watch my other babies, how I wanted my epidural and labor to go,
everything was set perfect. We were going to schedule this delivery,
deliver another perfect little girl, bring her home 2 days later and
start our life together as a family of 5. Little did I know what the
Lord had in store for us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So because I kept facebook
pretty updated through the whole thing I have decided to mainly just cut
and paste from my facebook posts as to write the story of our Pyper's
birth and development since. But, because facebook didn't get much of
my pre-labor and labor I will begin at that. Pyper was born on a
Wednesday. But the Saturday before was eventful in itself. Everything
was normal until I had to sit on the stairs with Danny for a time out.
As I stood up while holding him I had a horrible pain. That then
started contractions for about 3 hours. BUT then the contractions
stopped. However it was very evident that she had dropped
significantly. Ryan said a good 4 inches and I would agree. After that
I was able to relax and we went about the rest of our night. However I
didn't feel her move at all. The next morning as I lay in bed I still
didn't feel her move, which was very different because she always moved
in the morning. So after eating breakfast and laying on the couch to
get her to move, but still with no success, I began to worry. I didn't
really say anything to Ryan though until we were in the car and on the
way to church at 1PM. He felt strongly that we needed to get it checked
out so because of an amazing ward we were able to drop our other
children off at church then head to the hospital to get everything
checked out. At this point I was only 37 weeks 3days. They monitored
me for a while and of course as soon as she got on the monitor she began
to move. I still felt there was something significantly wrong but
after a while our heart rates were good and they didn't have a good
reason to keep us. So we headed back, picked up our kids, then headed
home. If you could ask Ryan how I felt for the next few days, the only
answer I could give was "off". That was the only way to describe it.
On Wednesday I had my weekly Dr appt and she checked me and said I was
barely dilated, and she thought I would probably make it 2 more weeks to
my induction date. All I could tell her was that I felt really "off"
and horrible. As much as she felt for me, she can't induce based on a
mom feeling "off". BUT after she checked me and I left I began regular
contractions. Since I had a babysitter still I decided to grab lunch at
Taco Bell and relax. I could barely eat anything though and the
contractions continued. This was 11AM. By the time I got home and took
the babysitter home, my contractions were still going. Because I had
never actually gone into labor before, because I was induced with my 2
others, I kept waiting for them to stop. However, they actually never
did. At 1PM I text Ryan at work saying the kids were taking a nap but I
was getting into the shower to do my hair in case this was the real
thing, even though I felt they would stop at any time. As much as I
tried to talk myself out of it, my contractions continued, and continued
to get stronger. By 2:30PM Ryan got home and we called our babysitter to see if she could come back. She was able to right away and we headed to the hospital. Surprise to me, they told me that I was definitely in labor and was going to be admitted. At about 6:30 my water broke and they saw that it was "Meconuim stained", which means that Pyper had pooped inside me. Because of this they prepared me for a birth where they put her on me for 1 second but then take her, suction her and then stimulate her to breath. At 7PM they checked me and said I was ready so they called the Dr and by 7:22PM the Dr was there and I was then told to push. After 1/2 of a push Pyper was here and I was told to stop and she was put on my chest, perfect, but not breathing yet. They grabbed her and began to suction. After a couple suctions they tried to stimulate her, but with every breath she tried to take, she pulled up more meconuim. Hence after a while she was essentially drowning in her own meconuim. The Dr tried to tell us for about 5 min that it was normal, but slowly we watched more doctors come into the room and the faces of everyone get very serious. As I lay there and Ryan held my hand, we then watched our daughter "Code" which is the medical term for die. We had to literally come to the realization that our daughter might have just come to this earth to take one breath but then go back with her Heavenly Father. They proceeded to do CPR and after about 17 min they finally got her intubated and her heart beating again. Her color slowly began to come back and we felt like our daughter wasn't completely gone after all. From there, I never held her and they took her to the nursery and called St Vincent Women's hospital where the best NICU in Indiana is located. They had respiratory specialists drive in and transport her to the NICU there. Before she left we did get to see her and Ryan was able to lay his hands on her head and give her a special blessing. Then we weren't going to see her until I could walk, shower and get out of there so we could drive the 40 min to the hospital. </div>

So I initially was going to do this as one post but I will conclude tonight with this, a couple pictures and then continue the story of our 5 week NICU stay and all that that brought with it. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So we were invited to a hunt in the amazing backyard of a family in our ward. Lorilyn was so excited to get eggs and did a great job! Danny got a few, but then discovered the sandbox and playground and forgot all about the hunt. Overall though we had a wonderful time! </span></div>

Thank you so much for the wonderful Easter Egg Hunt 2012! As far as actual Easter we had a quiet one with just our little family. Dinner however was DELICIOUS as we got a Honey Baked Ham and together made some scrumptious sides. I love my husband's love of food and his desire to help me in the kitchen. Because of it, we usually get to eat like royalty:-)</div>

I have many excuses I could use, but really it was just me being lazy about it. I knew I couldn't give up though and that all these pictures needed to be blogged (my family scrapbook) because not only was it an amazing weekend, but Scott brought his camera so there was LOTS of wonderful pictures being taken. For Lorilyn's 3rd birthday (which happened to be the same day as the super bowl this year) both Nana and Papa and Unkie and Amy drove the many hours to come to our house and party with us:-) As always when Ryan's whole family gets together the weekend was full of LOTS of yummy food, fun and laughter. Unfortunately LJ got sick so she wasn't her normal spunky self, but we managed to have a blast anyway:-) Her birthday was actually on Sunday but since that was super bowl also we had the birthday party Saturday and the Super Bowl Party Sunday. It was a wonderful weekend that definitely went by way too fast! I apologize for the number of pictures but there were just so many good ones!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivwc8w-xmCC1rkNdLBY-vXuW64w3pIJ5euyUq0XCr-oNN2OVkAsu4b6AWebVo-13eTgEvUDAaHAj_bVAZGdScJ_3ZTR0G2qbeW6zJ9hMCnHe_vvs_84OcD41MAwxfEQcn7KXAIZqZdsFY/s1600/053.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivwc8w-xmCC1rkNdLBY-vXuW64w3pIJ5euyUq0XCr-oNN2OVkAsu4b6AWebVo-13eTgEvUDAaHAj_bVAZGdScJ_3ZTR0G2qbeW6zJ9hMCnHe_vvs_84OcD41MAwxfEQcn7KXAIZqZdsFY/s320/053.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725357015900902770" border="0" /></a>Everyone arrived Friday night...LJ was super excited to see everyone!

So we began on his birthday eve by going out to Bubs Burgers with some of our awesome friends in the ward, Scott and Paige. Soon after moving in we found that Scott and Ryan we born on the same day, same year, about 3 hours apart. Then they found out that Scott has a younger brother named Ryan and Ryan has a younger brother named Scott. An immediate bromance began, so we decided what better way to spend the Birthday Eve's then out together eating delicious burgers. The boys decided the best way to ring in their 30's was to start by doing the burger challenge and try to take down "The Big Ugly" burger. It is 22oz of meat which after cooking is a pound burger. It was touch and go for a while but they persevered and both finished! Us ladies were oh so proud:-)<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfzx1ZCqTFpdKIQdEPVLsWHUrSWAGx3Cw9Vk7DvDTW0SOEZ-suryKRHCoSs6Q0QSECTIoBw9AgfjsmIU6bWgYc_WwAHbJK7ahl7GFBmh9-SKqhPozJ4iRMcZlWd6aGG6AXjJ8ArTqtNQo/s1600/IMG_1159.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfzx1ZCqTFpdKIQdEPVLsWHUrSWAGx3Cw9Vk7DvDTW0SOEZ-suryKRHCoSs6Q0QSECTIoBw9AgfjsmIU6bWgYc_WwAHbJK7ahl7GFBmh9-SKqhPozJ4iRMcZlWd6aGG6AXjJ8ArTqtNQo/s320/IMG_1159.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715294610760336930" border="0" /></a>Before the burgers arrived, kind of innocent of what was really in store...<br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif854IfXa2RNMLM8MlfylOPS6FD3D8WE4bfceSccxXSsD_L_UfcXUqRPmsemDkJUXKicf6nQtoiHptnADyXjA6SJtZBXAUCDTT0hnTVWPIxWhF9MuraXS0txDrL5DO68UcgR2W18FwVf8/s1600/IMG_1160.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif854IfXa2RNMLM8MlfylOPS6FD3D8WE4bfceSccxXSsD_L_UfcXUqRPmsemDkJUXKicf6nQtoiHptnADyXjA6SJtZBXAUCDTT0hnTVWPIxWhF9MuraXS0txDrL5DO68UcgR2W18FwVf8/s320/IMG_1160.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715294619054229730" border="0" /></a>Kind of a blurry pic but yes, that whole plate is burger...the large bun only covered about 2/3 of the meat...Still kind of innocent of the future, but very optimistic.<br /><br />I should have got a pic of their faces about half way through when they both hit a wall and weren't sure if they would make it.

None of them really make sense, but they can be quite entertaining. The joke of the day came this morning and she was playing in bed with Mommy and Daddy. It goes as follows:<br /><br />"Knock knock...who's there...dog...dog who?...dog go out the front door and make a woof sound!" This was followed by hilarious laughter at herself thinking she is just oh so funny.<br /><br />Oh the joys of a almost 3 year old.:-)<br /><br />On another note, Bubbs and I were cuddling the other day after his nap and I snapped a few pics...here is my favorite.

Yes thanks mom for moving to our City...you are just 5 months late since our city is Indy now! No, we are extremely happy they are there and so close to Steve and Kori's family, who they are blessed to spend time with. But since they were there we decided to travel back to Chicago for Christmas. Unfortunately Lynette's family couldn't make it since it is quite a trip from Idaho:-( We had a wonderful few days though, staying with my parents then spending the days at Steve's house. On Christmas Eve we had a super tasty dinner with a huge buffet of yummy appetizers then we got the kids all dressed up and Steve read the Christmas story from the Bible while the kids acted it out. Lorilyn couldn't stop talking about how she wanted to be a butterfly, so naturally she got to be an angel:-) Danny kept his shepherds hat on for all of about 45 second, but luckily a got a couple pictures snapped in time. <br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj627qdnsU1eo5H3xVvEl9MLCIueHFCQeZrd-fF4ZkhEfd2dxbtJ9SCjuKoIShafOyBNiSM21mAlRw-JOdHek2G5bThnnN90pj7AEi0bIDc_zkz451Euifa7NgoNP-8H5kPHBSaUBSRZpo/s1600/IMG_0892.JPG"><img style="display:block;

She started freaking out because she couldn't move, so Ryan sarcastically said "Where did you ever get your claustrophobia?" because there is no doubt she got it from me. Lorilyn laughed and answered "At the grocery store dad!"<br /><br />Later I was changing Danny's 3rd dirty diaper of the morning so I said "Dude where does all this poop come from?!" Lorilyn then chimed it "You silly, it comes from his bum!"<br />Thank you honey, you did in fact answer my question:-)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFRvEa9TnC4nOeRltdDq8cORfuq-E9HtsWCIJWDDsqtK5BgbNK4Z9AeueR-BQag73ZQYugVz814z0b9Y6TA7RMI3aslaofJ6stN2MRUumPwEfmNR-dTQgPTGJ0Sn1c2CKCNOC4iD7tGFg/s1600/IMG_0663.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFRvEa9TnC4nOeRltdDq8cORfuq-E9HtsWCIJWDDsqtK5BgbNK4Z9AeueR-BQag73ZQYugVz814z0b9Y6TA7RMI3aslaofJ6stN2MRUumPwEfmNR-dTQgPTGJ0Sn1c2CKCNOC4iD7tGFg/s320/IMG_0663.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694940712605482770" border="0" /></a>We love you crazy girl:-)<br /></div>Ryan and Julene Stoianowskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17517374849882487825noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620378070266052450.post-47199020579593509592011-12-22T04:44:00.001-08:002011-12-22T05:16:39.515-08:00Thanksgiving Part 2<div style="text-align: center;">So on the Friday before Thanksgiving we took off from Chicago and drove to Ann Arbor to meet up with Ryan and spend Thanksgiving week with the Stoianowski's. The next day was the Nebraska football game we were lucky enough to go to and have a wonderful tailgate time as always with Papa and friends, and Nana was wonderful to babysit for us. Unfortunately Daddy had to drive home Sunday to work Mon-Wed so me and the kiddos just crashed at Nana and Papa's and I did my best to keep the kiddos occupied and out of the way since both of them work from home. Wednesday did finally come and that brought Ryan back to join us along with Unkie and Amy from Baltimore! Of course the next day being Thanksgiving was filled with cooking, laughter, eating, resting and more eating (plus much playing for the kiddos). The morning began a little rough as I had to take Danny to the ER because he was so sick and coughing he could barely breath. Turned out he had Croup so he was given a good dose of steroids and we were back home to help in the festivities. We had a delicious Thanksgiving meal at 1PM of course so the kiddos could nap through it and I could actually eat:-) Besides trying to take care of a very sickies baby, we had a wonderful day. Friday not only brought setting up Christmas decorations, but our own Christmas celebration! Since we will be in Chicago and wont be seeing any of them for Christmas we did our gift exchanges friday afternoon. It was so much fun setting everything up together and then we truly were spoiled with wonderful gifts for everyone. Saturday brought another MI football game to have a blast at. Unkie and Amy were kind enough to babysit for us so Nana came along and we were able to tailgate then watch a uber exciting game ending with a win over Ohio State, can't get much better than that! Unfortunately the fun did have to come to an end and we all parted ways on Sunday to go back to regular lives and enjoy the rest of the holiday season. I forgot my camera but I was able to take a few pics of the fun festivities of our Christmas Day:-)<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp0UDOKiGCT05-jqtzbEtnP5w5C8vXZj8dLkPO9Fq8xlSSZ0tDjwW1Mu4-nzTTOlo367hJBTTo-whARyuGHy4B4fhn5_0xdo9SQoFn7SQ1tZNedp_YPjkdCGeqf2Jvb3qn0OW6EfR4wxQ/s1600/IMG_0799.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp0UDOKiGCT05-jqtzbEtnP5w5C8vXZj8dLkPO9Fq8xlSSZ0tDjwW1Mu4-nzTTOlo367hJBTTo-whARyuGHy4B4fhn5_0xdo9SQoFn7SQ1tZNedp_YPjkdCGeqf2Jvb3qn0OW6EfR4wxQ/s320/IMG_0799.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688934296186118290" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">After lots of fun in Chicago he was definitely tuckered out as we traveled to MI<br /><br /></div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsoLImBGTzlBAObfyd_n-vbWYorohawWm2-z2NvhP3BZxzoJ4n9yNfCktVC6PgEc_svR1l0rR2wuP73aJanoUBHCLwlHcZOIpI4QSM0ECRtd0eqWOnRQZGRYqw5GCMokIzpJAKJV8vL9I/s1600/IMG_0801.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsoLImBGTzlBAObfyd_n-vbWYorohawWm2-z2NvhP3BZxzoJ4n9yNfCktVC6PgEc_svR1l0rR2wuP73aJanoUBHCLwlHcZOIpI4QSM0ECRtd0eqWOnRQZGRYqw5GCMokIzpJAKJV8vL9I/s320/IMG_0801.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688934287243786994" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">On Tuesday Nana helped me and we took the kiddos to sit on Santa's lap.

Mom and Dad moved to the Chicago area in October of this year to be closer to family and it is already such a blessing to have close! I feel horrible because we didn't take ANY pictures. Guess we were just having too much fun playing and spending time together. It was wonderful to watch Lizzie and Lorilyn get along so well and enjoy each other so much. Being 10 years younger than my siblings I always worried that my kids wouldn't have cousins close enough to play with, but luckily that doesn't seem to be the case for Lorilyn. The 2 girls were so cute chasing around, playing and singing at the top of their lungs. I will have to admit I definitely took advantage of being with my mom and was able to rest more than I ever get to at home, especially since she is a wiz with toddlers and pre-school age children. One day we were able to go to the mall with Kori and Lizzie and we got to ride on the carousel, which LJ thought was the greatest thing ever. She would yell "Up and Down, Up and Down" the entire time:-) Kori was wonderful enough to snap a couple pictures for me of this...<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRHteR47bl9ia6mK5FBond_Osy8apbDrZ3PSV-TwhqpqJYCr1r0vJJ4Vgymv1fn15lxFGu8YNzzQQ6AwOX4wudRtaQaQFLBeRJRVg9TRdk3_yHiqAS1fqbx37spim2PPNEgO72FhETS5k/s1600/IMG_0866.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 238px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRHteR47bl9ia6mK5FBond_Osy8apbDrZ3PSV-TwhqpqJYCr1r0vJJ4Vgymv1fn15lxFGu8YNzzQQ6AwOX4wudRtaQaQFLBeRJRVg9TRdk3_yHiqAS1fqbx37spim2PPNEgO72FhETS5k/s320/IMG_0866.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685602305252671570" border="0" /></a></div> The 2 little friends on their horses:-)<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGVbDrQZ2k4RwmPbKM_YrhQpeEWJnA7lHAMbbZJ6KkQdnxX9s087xmFN3mHiU2TR3dQuk3QQGNpMhrh2UbxkaVh36utof4ryd3pwIhjdkEa-d7Wb28Oqzi0G4Ums8qaVnJYB6sZad2qL4/s1600/IMG_0865.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 238px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGVbDrQZ2k4RwmPbKM_YrhQpeEWJnA7lHAMbbZJ6KkQdnxX9s087xmFN3mHiU2TR3dQuk3QQGNpMhrh2UbxkaVh36utof4ryd3pwIhjdkEa-d7Wb28Oqzi0G4Ums8qaVnJYB6sZad2qL4/s320/IMG_0865.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685602300115444226" border="0" /></a> Danny wasn't as fond of the horse...<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX2OSFneS7HIdho4NClaztUU73lAEttKd7QPgy8YTCxf3BktpCPS_49KDLgSlVBQccmks4dkt9lhis1v-TtqKmW_LHe2Pe6zKiwRYboHVix0hCt_axyQ0jR0w31q7kfNfSXB3MVLB4dRA/s1600/IMG_0864.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 238px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX2OSFneS7HIdho4NClaztUU73lAEttKd7QPgy8YTCxf3BktpCPS_49KDLgSlVBQccmks4dkt9lhis1v-TtqKmW_LHe2Pe6zKiwRYboHVix0hCt_axyQ0jR0w31q7kfNfSXB3MVLB4dRA/s320/IMG_0864.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685602297829537234" border="0" /> </a>I love the pure joy on her face:-)<br /><br />Thank you so much for letting us come visit!

It was a quick but wonderful visit. We got to do all the fun fall things like a pumpkin patch, playing in the leaves and carving the pumpkin. Unfortunately I forgot my camera but at least I had my phone, so sorry the pictures aren't the greatest quality, but at least we have a few of something for our memories:-)<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHl0lMDpedeFhPnxszijayl3qJhdlpne9qXxtSFuuh3ngaZ-ihwQSVA83-c1zPm4yKc9ehLO0H_UMpCOleEWW0kGAYC0Z4SBdnlOIN9j7-RMywJV56pTWYXvB7moNNJhhvFWLXAiZCghk/s1600/IMG_0718.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHl0lMDpedeFhPnxszijayl3qJhdlpne9qXxtSFuuh3ngaZ-ihwQSVA83-c1zPm4yKc9ehLO0H_UMpCOleEWW0kGAYC0Z4SBdnlOIN9j7-RMywJV56pTWYXvB7moNNJhhvFWLXAiZCghk/s320/IMG_0718.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668171823588547570" border="0" /></a>Story time with Nana<br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYrko1a22EGrZ5Q9q-XWzzp0-uKyI_IJgYNQTxwe1PuvkrsHAhCNB2R6H70WiQWnzYzDZehoohTWZZ3-j9Ts9_O7rPNMYEO7mJiyjaFwyhRwOQAOBw5xA0qQOuiPXxNYsRgFzZVf1qxpE/s1600/IMG_0715.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYrko1a22EGrZ5Q9q-XWzzp0-uKyI_IJgYNQTxwe1PuvkrsHAhCNB2R6H70WiQWnzYzDZehoohTWZZ3-j9Ts9_O7rPNMYEO7mJiyjaFwyhRwOQAOBw5xA0qQOuiPXxNYsRgFzZVf1qxpE/s320/IMG_0715.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668171831011088754" border="0" /></a>Attacking Papa for his ice cream:-)<br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrdi03Wca8EgENvqk-W1doFKi8qf6JToJ1AyULwbD8btYGyGUYXNjjm07oZ33hO4hAnwshjnsKHUVYRquTowe2kvppyB5Fix_ytDAz_YO0d28P6l3OZJspguxgZEHHPqicIWGDLYVZNEE/s1600/IMG_0722.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 207px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrdi03Wca8EgENvqk-W1doFKi8qf6JToJ1AyULwbD8btYGyGUYXNjjm07oZ33hO4hAnwshjnsKHUVYRquTowe2kvppyB5Fix_ytDAz_YO0d28P6l3OZJspguxgZEHHPqicIWGDLYVZNEE/s320/IMG_0722.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668171807253217906" border="0" /></a>Since my favorite hair lady is in MI and Nana is always willing to help watch the kids I usually take advantage of being there and get my hair done.
