Christmas 2009

Miranda's first time out in the snow

Damon, 2 1/2 months

Miranda 2 yrs. in January

Cydney 10 1/2 yrs.

The whole bunch

We had a great Christmas. Luckily with the weather, we had planned on staying home. We opened gifts on Christmas eve and had a prime rib dinner. Church service was cancelled due to the weather. Cydney was supposed to do a piano number, but she ended up doing it in church on Sunday. Christmas morning was stockings and Santa gifts. We had a good time just spending time together at home.

For the New Year we don't really have any resolutions. I probably won't get any better at keeping this up dated. As Damon gets mobile I'm sure I will have even less time to spend on the computer. But we do wish a safe, healthy, wonderful 2010 to all of our friends and family!

Costume Parade

Here are the girls at the costume parade at school. Cydney is a bride and Miranda is a Nebraska cheerleader. Damon didn't attend, too much flu going around.

Damon Justus Spady

Here are the promised pictures. He is a great baby, sleeping and eating well. A great addition to the family

Finally...

We were finally blessed with Damon Justus Spady on October 14 at 9:11 pm. He weighed in at 6 pounds 10 ounces (smaller than we expected) and was 20 1/4 inches long. Cydney adores her baby brother and Miranda is very curious. I will get pictures posted soon when things slow down a little bit.

Still no baby

1 week and 1 day overdue, still no baby. He is growing daily and I am getting nervous. And I can't wait to meet him. Hopefully soon

Still waiting

Well, my due date came and went on the 5th. I am trying to be patient but I have been waiting 9 months to hold this baby boy. Apparently I have a very happy and cozy womb because Miranda didn't want to come out either. I have a doctors appt on friday and we will probably discuss how much longer I will wait. I really want to avoid an induction if I can, but I am getting so uncomfortable. I guess we will just wait and see

Long time

Sorry it has been a very long time since I have been able to make a post. They now block social networking sites at work so I have to find time to do it at home. Since my last post we have pretty much finished the addition. Carpet was put in about 2 weeks ago and we have been finishing up the final details-shower rods, touch up paint, etc. I can't wait to get moved it. The baby;'s furniture is ordered and should be here in early Sept. Once we get the nursery done I will definitely be ready to have this baby.

Summer has been busy with fair and other activities. Cydney did great in 4-H earning a lot of purple ribbons. She did especially well with her puppy. They got Grand Champion Novice obedience and Grand Champion in Agility. She also received a purple in showmanship. She was pretty excited to get a trophy. She also improved a lot in horse 4-H and received blue ribbons in halter and showmanship and received red ribbons in barerels, poles and western pleasure, her first year in all of those events. Sewing got all purples on a pair of PJs and a tie-dyed t-shirt. Her chocolate chip cookies also received a purple. She was sure glad when 4-H was over but sad to see school start.

She is a 4th grader this year and there are a lot of changes-lockers, changing classrooms all day, salad bar, not much recess. But I think she is adjusting just fine.
