Brody and Jaylee-Cousins forever!











My little Jaylee Joy!!! To much excitment for one night!

INTRODUCING: BRODY KEITH MICHAEL

Grandma's kisses have begun!!!

FIRST VISIT TO GRANDMA'S HOUSE.
Brody came to visit on his way home from the hospital. We are so exciting to have this new little guy in our family.

For some reason I haven't been able to download any pictures since I changed to this Beta thing...Help Katie!! Things are good. I talked to Heather and they are home safely. It was hard for them to leave the girls. Bailey is doing much better since she had that blood patch. I'm glad she didn't have to wait around being sick. She looks great!!! Her and Christopher are sure proud of their little guy, who by the way, I'm holding at this very moment. They ran to the store and I'm babysitting for the first time. Oh darn!!! He is so cute. As soon as I figure out how to download again I'll put some of my pictures of him on it. Toodle-lou for now, baby time!!!

Call From Porto Rico

Heather called yesterday afternoon from Porto Rico. The plane had some trouble with its landing gear. They needed to leave Haiti by dark because it gets dangerous so they headed there. She said they would get to Miami about 1:00 A.M. and then had to leave at 6:00 A.M. for Utah. We only talked a few minutes because I was worried about the roaming charges. She did say the baby (Sarah) cried when she left and was reaching out for her. I can just imagine that little babies heart. She had no idea what was going on. I know it will be hard for her to not have the attention she got from them while they were there. The twins were almost emotionless. (What would they be thinking? Are they really coming back? Don't get our hopes up.) Hopefully the process in Haiti will go faster than we anticipate so these little girls can get to their new home and get settled in to their new life. They are so lucky to get Heath and Heather as their parents and to get to grow up in America. We are so blessed here and we need to appreciate it.

Bailey will hopefully be feeling better soon. She has been sick with a headache and throwing up. We found out today it was from the epidural. She'll have to explain it better when she feels up to getting on her blog. She had to have a blood patch at the hospital today and Christopher said it really helped. Brody is such a cutie pie! We were over there last night to take Christopher some dinner. Nicole , Josh, Meagan, and Brooklyn came over. We took pictures of Brody and Brooklyn together. Brody is bigger and two weeks younger. He's a boy and is supposed to be big and strong!!! Pictures will be coming soon!!!

Ronnie Lee Michael Jr. 28th Birthday

28 years ago I gave birth to this big guy! Ronnie Lee Michael Jr.. He has been an active young man since he was in my tummy!!! I love him dearly and I am thankful he is my son.

Happy Birthday Ronnie!!!

Haiti news

Heather called Saturday afternoon. It was so good to here from her. She said Haiti is the hottest place in the world, because of the humidity. No use in wearing make up because you're drenched in sweat within 5 minutes of putting it on. The girls have warmed up to them pretty good. One of the twins is more timid than the other. She had them both say, "Hi, Grandma" to me. Then she asked them if they wanted to sing me a song. They sang a beautiful song in their language. They sounded like little angels and so sweet. It sounded like they said the words, child, God, and the Savior at different parts of the song. I felt their spirits and it touched my heart dearly. I had tears and then what do you know...we got disconnected. I can't wait to meet them. I hope they will be able to come soon. Heather did get a little sick last night but Heath has done OK so far. Anyway, it sounds like they are having a good experience and are bonding with the girls. They are working hard in the new orphanage during the day. I was hoping she would call back so I could ask her some questions, but she didn't. She probably couldn't get through, plus it probably cost a fortune to call here. Anyway, I'm excited to talk to her again. Keep them in your prayers for their safety and for the girls to be well and safe. Especially, Wednesday and Thursday when they have to leave them there. I know it will be hard on all of them. I can't wait to see these little girls someday. I know Heavenly Father wants them to be in their family and he will help them through the years of raising all of their children. How lucky they all are to have each other.

BRODY KEITH MICHAEL IS HERE!!!

Well, Brody came finally at 2:24 A.M. Sunday morning on Uncle Ronnie's 28th birthday, November 12th. He is a cutie!!! Weighing in at 8 lbs. 1 oz. (closer to 2 oz), 20 and 1/2 " long with a 13 and 1/2" head. Bailey was a pro in the delivery room. Everything went well except she got upset to her stomach. BLah....at least she didn't get it on me. Christopher is one proud daddy!!! I can't post any pictures until Bailey does. (Strict orders, which I understand) So, maybe tonight, or in a couple of days she will be up to putting some on her blog. They are supposed to come home this afternoon sometime. Of course I am one proud GRANDMA and Ron is one proud GRANDPA. We're are so glad that Brody is finally here and is a member of our family.

BRODY IS COMING!!!

Bailey is in the hospital, admitted, and in a room. It is 7:45 P.M. right now and she is dilated to a four. So...I'll be going to the hospital pretty soon. He will probably be born after midnight so he will be born on Ronnie's 28th birthday. Unless he decides to make a hastier delivery. Which I'm sure Bailey and Christopher wouldn't mind. We'll inform you in the morning.

Sweet Little Jaylee

I took some pictures like this of Faith when she was first born. I thought I'd do it with Jaylee too. It gives you an idea of how big she is. She is growing so fast and is smiling and trying to find her voice. It is fun to watch her. Faith loves her so much and so do the rest of us.

I got courageous and tried to figure out this beta blog. I kind of liked these colors. What do you think?
