Baby Teeth

The past couple of days have been interesting around the Lewis house. In our 4 1/2 years of parenting so far we have been pretty lucky to not have to deal with any major emergencies with the kids. But on Wednesday this week Jordan changed that record. He somehow managed to fall on the floor face first and knock in two teeth. With me being at work when it happened, Mike was the one that dealt with most of the difficult stuff. I left work early to come home and then took him to urgent care to get checked out by a doctor. He was fine except for the teeth that were slanted inward pretty far. Thursday morning he visited the dentist and they told us that the teeth would need to come out. One was broken off of the root and the other was twisted and need to come out as well. Mike was the one who had to accompany Jordan to the appointment and help get everything taken care of. Jordan and Mike both did a great job and survived the ordeal! This type of thing generally falls under my job duties as the mom, but things at work prevented me from being able to take Jordan. I am so thankful that Jordan is ok, and he seems to be going on with life as if nothing ever happened. Kids are amazingly tough! I am just hoping that our little boy does not get in the habit of getting hurt.

Really long update

Since it has been so long since I last updated my blog I am feeling way behind on posting pictures and family news. Although we have no major, life altering new we have had a busy summer and are excited about the fall season. The kids have gotten so big and seem to have changed so much over this summer. Madeline just started preschool and is so excited about that. Jordan is talking constantly in long sentences now and that makes things very interesting since we already have a little girl who talks constantly! Here are some pictures of things we have done over the summer and I hope to keep things more up to date now.

Watermelon is so good on a hot summer day at the park!

Jordan likes to be as silly as possible and will do anything to get our attention and a laugh.

Madeline and Jordan are always willing to pose for the camera and play nice, but off the camera they have their fair share of fights these days!

Mike and the kids have made several trips to the zoo this summer. Since we have a membership it makes for an easy way to have fun.

Family Picture Day!

Well it was past time to get our family pictures done! We did not have one with Jordan in it and he is turning 2! We went today and had them done at Sears and I think they turned out great. We ordered lots of prints to make sure we can give them out to our huge family and some friends too. Now I am going to have to start hanging photos on the walls of our house. I haven't really taken the time to do that since we moved in 6 months ago. Well, it was a good to get it done and be able to share it with everyone! We are all doing great!

Birthday Party

It was one fun filled day. The kids had the whole family there to celebrate with them and a good time was had by all. No one can say that these kids are not loved! They are loved a lot and then some. It was great to have one party for both of them. I think that they enjoyed sharing the party and it made it so easy to plan. Enjoy the cute picutures!

Family Camp

For memorial weekend we went to Camp Yamhill with our church for a fun family retreat. It was great weather this year and the kids had a ton of fun. Here are some pictures from that weekend.




Madeline decided she wanted to ride on the big rope swing they have at camp. You have to get harnessed in and climb a big ladder and then hang from the rope in your harness and swing. She got up the ladder and decided that was as far as she wanted to go. But we were proud of her for being that brave!

Off to work I go

Although it has been nice being home with my kids and husband the past few weeks, it is coming to an end next week. I found a new job with another bank and start on Tuesday. It is a relief to not be looking for work anymore and I am excited to have a fresh start too. I am very optimistic and feel like this will be a better place for me and that I will be much happier. Thanks to everyone who has kept me in prayer as I searched!

New Pictures and Update

It has been way to long since I updated this blog. So here are some recent pictures of the kiddos. They are getting so big and they are both looking forward to their birthdays in June. Jordan is talking up a storm and Madeline is learning new things everyday too. They get along most of the time, until Jordan decides to tackle Madeline and there is not much she can do about it . I will definitely put more pictures up after the big birthday party. Maybe more before that but we will see how it goes.

Its me!

I am always the one taking the pictures and so I never have any picture of the kids with me. I promise that I do exist and here is the proof.

Three Wise Men and a baby! (and our little angel)

Here is the little Angel herself. She was so cute and took her role as one of the angels in the Christmas play very seriously. I think we have a potential actor, singer, or some kind of performer here folks. She knew every word and hand motion that she was taught and was very proud of it.

A group shot of the preschool angel choir. Notice the cute pose!

This is a smile that says "Yeah! I did a great job!"

This is what a smile looks like after hundreds of pictures have been taken of the group in an attempt to get everyone in just the right place!
