Still here??
Anyone still out there?? So muchhas been going on, and our blog has taken back seat to it all. But, alas, I sit here in total quietness and have the chance to play catch up.
The girls are napping in the same room for the FIRST time as I type this!!! I can't decide if we'll make it permanent yet or not. It is sweet to hear them play and giggle, but Norah has never been out of a crib and I am not sure she understands the whole "stay in bed" concept quite yet. We'll see.
Naomi had her eye surgery this past Monday - it went fabulous. In fact, she did not "need" a lick of pain med. At the suggestion of the surgeon, we gave her some the first few nights, ensuring a solid night's sleep - but she never asked for any or ever complained - not even once - about pain. She is one tough cookie.
Norah is doing fabulous!!!! We are now 3 1/2 weeks post-op and she is eating great, drinking great and sleeping much much better. It took a solid 12 days for her to sleep through the night and eat well. A.long.12.days.and.nights. But we made it, just in time to put Naomi in surgery!!! I can't describe how thankful we are that this chapter is behind us. The girls are so happy today - they have played, giggled, enjoyed a date to Starbucks with me, and are now (attempting) napping TOGETHER!!! I think being in the same room will help them to bond.....at least that's the plan :) I am ready to reclaim our room again. My closet, where Norah's crib is, is a complete and utter disaster - and I typically have to tiptoe around so we are hopeful this works well.
Nate is loving school these days. His sweet teacher does a great job of keeping communication open and lets us know how his days go. He is a spelling champ- he has a test every Friday on 10 words and has gotten 100% on all of them. We are so proud of him. He finishes up his soccer season on Saturday and will start another session in 3 weeks.
We are so excited for 2011. We pray this year brings (much less) fewer trips to the doctor, hospital, etc. We pray our children continue to bond and that we can relax a little and enjoy our new family of 5.
Have a fabulous Christmas!!!!!!

Lee-Anne,
So good to read your update and hear all the kiddos are doing well now. I know you all will miss your Mom lots this Christmas and all the gifts she would be making for the grandchildren. You are a great Mom and I know she would be so very proud! I went to the BellSouth Lunch Bunch Christmas lunch last week and it just wasn't the same without JoAnne being with us. We all miss her too. Sent Roger a card and have called him a couple of times, he is sure sad but so blessed to have you, Jay and your families a part of his life. Take care and have a very blessed Christmas with all your little ones....such a beautiful family! Linda Curtin
