Briana is the perfect addition to our family!  She is cuddly and sweet and we sure love her!  Mama Corinne has some time off, so we are doing all kinds of fun stuff!  We went to the Amazing Pizza Machine and ate, played lots of games and the kids and Mama Corinne and Daddy got to ride a lot of rides.  Mommy liked holding Briana and taking pictures!!! 

We have lots more fun stuff planned for the week, not sure what days we are doing which things, but with Mommy, Daddy and Mama Corinne all having time off we are going to do many many fun things!!!  So excited for this week!!!!

Silly Lex!

Happy Lex!

The first pictures were taken at the Dr's office.  The whole family went in!  Blake is doing great!  His ANC is over 2000, which means the med dosage is going up, but not by much!  Can't believe we have less than a year of treatment left now!  In some ways it has gone by fast, but in other ways it seemed like it was never going to be over.  We sure are thankful for Blake and for everything he has brought into our lives! 

Alexia is our healthy little trooper, she has only had a fever once in her entire life (and it was only 100.2) and has never been sick aside from that one slight fever.  When we went in for our family flu shots Alexia was very excited and REALLY wanted to get her shot.  She got her shot and didn't even cry.  She is such a strong little girl!  She has seen Blake go through it enough, I suppose it is not really scary to her like it is to most kids.

Well, I broke my rule of only putting up Christmas Decorations AFTER Thanksgiving.  My tradition has been to put up all my Christmas decor on Black Friday, but this year, since the baby will be here any time now, we decided it would be easier to put everything up with only 2 children!  We are very excited that all 3 kids will be here for Christmas!!!!  Can't wait to see how our Christmas pictures turn out this year!!!!

Blake and Lex get along VERY well and love to play.  They are very imaginative and it is a joy to watch them play and to hear the things they make up!  These kids are truly amazing to us!  Both of them are extremely excited to meet their baby sister and tell everyone about her everywhere we go!  They love to look at ultra sound pictures and talk to her through mommy's tummy! 

We will announce when she arrives!  Very excited for her to come!
