Thanksgiving

Daddy Emma and cousin Morgan

Thanksgiving was at our house this year. We had such a great time and sharing memories with all of our family! The kids went downstairs and played WII and everyone else enjoyed the day. Emma was cruising alot and into everything. AJ had a great day with his older cousins especially Nathan. He just lights up whenever he see's any of them. :)

Alexander turns 3!!

Since AJ had to share is Birthday with his sister this year we decided to take him out for pizza on his "real" birthday! So on November 24th we went to Alfonzo's and had pizza with Grandma and Grandpa Yehling. :) AJ played the games too but his favorite was Ski Ball. He loved it! Of course Mom forgot her camera that night so we have no photos!

My baby turns 1!!!!!

Emma had her 1st birthday on November 14th! We also had her party that day! Emma was kind enough to share her day with Big Brother Alexander and we had his party too! They both got tons of cool presents! The party was a HUGE success and the house was full of lots of people!

Alexander will be 3 on November 24th! He then starts school on Nov 29. How scary for a 3 year old to ride a school bus across town!! I am nervous for him already!!!

Halloween

Halloween with the kids was alot of fun this year!!! Emma was the cutest lil ladybug and Alexander was a pirate. We went to a Fall Festival with the Pujols Foundation with Alexander, trick or treating in Downtown Edwardsville at all the business and then to a bonfire, also went trick or treating at Grandma's house and to a block party. Needless to say we had a busy weekend and mama was glad it was over.

My littl pirate - he was finally starting to feel better! Wasn't he just adorable!

Post Op and Mama back to work

Alexander has finally recovered from his surgery! This surgery took a little bit longer for him to recover but for the past week he has been himself! :)

I have to go back to work on Mon Nov 8! I am very sad about that.

Surgery #3

I know I haven't really updated lately but thought I would let all my Blogger friends know that Alexander will be having Heart Surgery #3 on October 11. Can everyone please keep him in your thoughts and prayers that day.

This time he is getting his mitral valve repaired. Hopefully this will be the last of surgeries for a very long time. I thought I said that 2 year ago to though.

I will keep everyone informed on his progress via Blogger. I also will be able to update this Blog when I am off work with my little angel! :)
