It's About Time...

So, I've really been slacking lately about posting. But when all you have is dial-up, it makes it a little more difficult to post and put pictures on cause it takes forever. So, I take advantage of my wonderful neighbor's high-speed and post when I can...which is now. And since I've been getting some slack from my lovely sister-in-law (I still love you, Scottee!), I guess I need to do something about it.

We have been quite busy lately. Mason started Preschool yesterday and he really didn't know the difference since it was at our house. But he still enjoyed having his friends over and learning. Next week, he will go to somebody else's house and then he will really get a taste of the Preschool thing. And I will be able to get things done...hopefully!

Peyton turned one in August! It is a big milestone for us since we didn't know if he would even make it this far when he was born. He is getting so big and growing up so fast. He is clapping his hands now and tries to play pat-a-cake. We are starting to do sign language with him and he is catching on really fast. He knows "food" and "all done". He is just so cute and fun to have around!




We are doing well and staying busy. We had an awesome trip to Phoenix a couple of weeks ago...minus the heat. Hopefully I will update again soon, but we never know! Enjoy the pictures!

Yeah, that brat Scottee sure can lay on the guilt. Well, the boys look great. I am sure Mason will to well in preschool. We loved having you in Phoenix.

Hi My name is Stephanie Ellinger and I'm a member of IHH. You're little guy, Peyton, reminds me so much of my little boy Nathan (down to the helmet too!) Nathan has Tetralogy of Fallot (instead of Hyposplasic Left Heart). Welcome to the group and we hope that you will find the great support that we have had.

Your family is cute!
