Thank you for the GREAT advice Sara!!!

Maria finished her latest round of antibiotics for her ear infections on Saturday.  By Sunday she was already pulling at her ears and fussing again.  My sister in law, Sara, suggested we take her to a chiropractor to help her ears drain.  I never knew a chiropractor could do something like that for a baby.  Gary took Maria in to Dr. Mehringer yesterday and we seen an improvement almost immediately!

My mom said Maria just babbled all day long after Gary dropped her back off.  This morning she woke up smiling and babbling!  I couldn't believe it!  We have our happy baby girl back!  She will go back to Mehringer tomorrow for another adjustment. 

Thank you so much for the suggestion Sara, we would have never considered it otherwise! 

Hey Ladies!

The look Henry is giving says it all!  He is so his father in this picture - quite the charmer :)

Christmas Eve

Here are some pics from Christmas at Mamaw and Papaw's.  Henry enjoyed all of the attention he was getting and Maria was sleeping through most of it.  Aunt Jen got Henry "Oh, the Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss.  She wrote Henry a very sweet letter in it and made me cry like a baby!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!  Christmas takes on a whole new meaning now that we have Henry and Maria.  It is such a beautiful thing!  I will hopefully be posting some pics and video later today.  We hope everyone has a very merry Christmas!

Maria's ENT Visit

Maria will need tubes.  She will be getting them put in on January 13th at the St Clare Hospital in Fenton.  Until then, looks like we will have a Miss Maria Madpants to deal with :)

Maria has ENT visit today!

Gary and I have been counting down to this!  Maria finally goes to see the ENT specialist today.  She got another ear infection last week and the poor girl has no voice left from all the screaming she did.  We were warned that the dr has his tube surgeries scheduled out past 3 weeks.  We are hoping he can get her in sooner. 

Pics from the Lodge

We had so much fun here!!  It will definitely become an annual tradition for us :)

Momma Time

Momma took a break this weekend.  Me, my best friend and my sister headed out to the Four Seasons Lodge and spent the day at Spa Shiki - I WAS IN HEAVEN!!!  Daddy stayed home with the kids, I was able to get a quick pic of daddy with Henry before leaving.  So sweet!!

Maria got run over by a reindeer...............

and we think it was an inside job :)

Family Photos

We had some of the family over last Sunday to try and take some Christmas pics - we had all the kids crabbed out by the time it was all done.
