The dreaded flu bug attacked our family! Jinx started feeling bad early last week, which quickly turned into 'too sick to get off the couch' and he tested positive for the flu on Thursday. He was sick as a dog! It takes alot to get this man down, but the flu did the trick. He kept his distance from Adalynn as soon as he suspected he was coming down with something, but unfortunately it was too late. Monday morning Adalynn woke up fussy and feverish, so off the doctor we went. They tested her for both the flu and RSV. Sure enough she had the flu. There are few things more pitiful than a 4 month old battling the flu. :( Jinx and I are learning just how difficult it is to see your child suffer. Breaks our hearts! She is showing improvements daily and with lots of love, hugs, and kisses we pray she will get better soon!
On a happy note, Jinx is going back to school!! I am so proud of him for deciding to finish his degree. Tonight is the start of his first class. I know it will be hard for him to have to spend time away from us while he is in class and studying, but it will definitely be worth it in the long run. We are anxiously looking forward to a graduation in 2012.

We're back!!
It's been a while, I know...a long while, but the blog is back! :)
The last 4 months with our darling daughter have been nothing short of amazing! We have learned so much about her and about ourselves. You know the commercial that says, "A baby changes everything..."? Well, they are right! How selfish we were before, and now our entire world revolves around this precious little girl. We really enjoyed sharing our first Christmas together as a family, and look forward to all the other "first's" to come.
Adalynn is a GREAT baby! We are so very blessed! Don't get me wrong, she can really turn on the waterworks when she wants to. But in general she is a super happy baby! At her 4 month check-up today, she weighed in at 13lbs 6oz(50%) and is measuring 25.5inches(95%) long. Healthy as a horse! She hit a huge milestone last week with her first roll over from back to tummy! Now we can't get her to stop rolling! :) She'll be crawling in no time. Can't believe how fast she is growing! Some of her favorite things at the moment are: bathtime, giggles and tickling, watching football on the big screen, and bouncing(non-stop).
After 10 weeks of spending nearly every second of the day with Adalynn, I went back to work and had a really tough time with it.:( Thank goodness I am only working 3 days a week and she is with my Mom while I'm away. This makes it more bearable!
Here's a quick re-cap of the last 4 months in pictures (newest to oldest)
