Hi all, Hope everyone is doing well, and had a great Christmas and New Years!
We are all hanging in there. The end of December and the month of January have been a challenge, as strep throat made it's rounds between all the kids THREE times and we have spent many days in the ER or doctors office. I'm nervous to say it, but I think they are finally on the mend.
Ken's arm is still broken, so he's been unable to return to work, but with all the strep and everything else going on, I suppose it's been a blessing. He is doing well...the doctor just wants his arm to heal a little more before going back to work.The decrease in pay stinks, but having him home to help with the kids through all these doctor appointments has been nice. More than likely he will be back to work next week.
Other than that, I think we're doing alright. On January 18th, Kai'Lani turned 10! It doesn't seem possible. Such a sweet girl she has become with an incredible heart.
Makenley is now 10 months old. She's a sweet, feisty little girl. She now says momma, daddy, hi, by, Kai. She can tell you the noise a sheep and a cow make, and LOVES the Frozen movie. She tries to sing the songs...quite possibly the cutest thing ever. She waves, claps, dances, climbs, and very mobile with crawling. She's our biggest baby at this age, but probably our smallest eater. Still not much of a fan for solids, and is still content just nursing or taking a bottle
Sierra is in the process of starting a grief support group for kids and parents who have lost a child or sibling, or for those who are supporting someone who has gone through the loss. She has a great vision for the group, and I'm excited to see where she's going to take it. We are letting her make all the calls...it's all her ideas, her doing. We're just supporting her, and helping when she needs it. This past week she had the opportunity to meet with a beautiful young girl who wrote a book on grief, and they sat down and brainstormed ideas on what they can do that will help others in the bereaved community and help get more resources here locally. Very proud of her and her ambition.
I think that's it for us for now. :)
Here are some January pictures.
Take care!
