Lots of Different Updates and Photos!

We're no longer toothless! Hayden has a whole lot of bumps across his bottom gum with one little white tooth breaking through. This is exciting, sad.......tiring. He has decided that this hurts and we all need to hear about it, but we're trying to keep it comfortable with yummy cherry flavored Tylenol!! Along with it he is either experiencing the teething type of diaper or we've come down with Rotavirus. YUCK!!!! If any of you have had a kiddo come down with this, you know it is not fun. Hayden had the vaccine for it, so I was hoping we would bypass ever getting it. Ella had it around the same age and I swore that if I ever had another child come down with it, they would live in the bathtub until it was over. I do believe if it is Rotavirus, Hayden has a mild case which may be because of help from the vaccine, but it definitely has had an effect on him.

On the house front, the house is framed and we have plywood on all walls and roof!!! It is comin' along! We chose rock, brick, windows and roof shingles yesterday. I believe the siding under the eaves are being hung today.

Mark Powell and Lariat

Mark was just on the radio giving a spill about the Cowboy Christmas Ball. If anyone is interested in going to an old time dance the Thursday, Friday or Saturday night before Christmas, he will be performing. Just let me know and we'll get you tickets! This is the original Cowboy Christmas Ball and Mark has performed the past 7 years or more. It really is a great family event and always a lot of fun. They have people come in from all over the U.S. which says alot about the event. It definitely feels like Christmas after going to the Ball.

Also, a blog that I enjoy reading because I am so impressed with the Mom's ability to multi-task quadruplets (plus I'm obsessed with multiple birth families, I am always amazed by what God can do), murraycrew.blogspot.com, is creating NICU survival kits with the proceeds she receives from people visiting her blog. Of course you all know that we would be in support of something like that, so go visit her site so that other families that have to spend time in the NICU can benefit from her special gift.

Fun picture post!

Sorry about Hayden's teeth. Mallory "teethed" for 3 months before SIX teeth came in all at the same time. No fun!!

I totally remember you getting ready for the Cowboy Ball when we lived in UP. I guess that was your first one, huh?? Ramdom memory!

Hey girl! Love the new pics...so excited Hayden is getting some teeth. Maddox has eight now! He is also cutting his molars right now...so we think. He had HORRIBLE diapers while teething. There was a day he pooped eight times! I was almost in tears with the last one. Hang in there!! Love you guys

Ok I left this on myspace also, but were you at the baby blessing this morning? I never see you at church. We need to pick a Sun and go to lunch. Otherwise we will never get together. Email me your cell again. I can't find it.
