Happy New Year!

For New Years Day Tavin and I went to the Treehouse for a little celebration where we met Melanie and her family (Tavin's best little friend Emma, it's her fam). They did a countdown to 12, only it was noon instead of midnight. They were having a magic show after and everything but it was so packed we did not want to stick around. We'll go back another day and have some fun. Here are some cute pictures of the kids celebrating together.
Here is Alec in his Christmas jammies. Him and Tavin got matching ones, I'll get the picture on here soon of them together with them on cause it is hilarious!!! He's such a happy boy!
And here is a picture Tavin made for his Teacher's at school who gave him a book and ink pad with two stamps for Christmas. If you can read the writing on the side it is worth the time to read it! You'll them find out why he has ink on his face :-)

Photos

If you don't know already, Dennis has gotten his camera that he been wanting for the last 5 years or so. We made a decision together that during his time of unemployment it is a good opportunity for him to make some money doing something he really thoroughly enjoys and also take tons of time to practice and gain some good experience taking some awesome pictures. Here are some of his photos he has done so far:


While he is still learning the trade he wanted to offer an "introductory special" to anyone interested. For $40 he'll do an on site session, no limit on time either. Then, when he's done you'll get a CD with all of the pictures as well as some with touch ups, that way you can print what you want. Let me know if you are interested.




He does such amazing work, I just love these pictures! Again, if you are interested let us know. Just comment, email or call. Check out his blog at TimesReflection.blogspot.com

The most precious of moments...

Now that is some Brotherly Love!!
Tavin was so careful while pushing Alec around the circle in our house over, over and over again!
They love playing with each other so much! Every time Tavin gets home from school and Alec is sleeping the moment that Alec hears his brothers voice he wakes up. Tavin runs in to the crib, peeps through the slats and says in an excited manner, "Baby Alec's awake!" And then Alec gets a smile ear to ear (like the one in the picture) and they start playing. I love every minute of it!

Tavin's scope

Here are the shots of Tavin's esophagus during his scope. Numbers 3, 10 and 13 showed the eczema like texture of his esophagus and the striping that indicated allergic reactions to something he was eating, which turned out to be milk protein. Image 10 also shows swelling in the esophagus. The swelling with the combo of eczema like texture made it painful for him to swallow.
And for those of you wondering, yes that was Dennis talking up there, we all know I don't speak that matter-of-factly :-) If you want correct terms we all know it's just best to talk to Dennis for that one. Lol

There have been a lot of interesting and some fun things going on here lately that I have got pictures of so hopefully I will have some time tomorrow to update more. Bye for now :-)
