3 months... a review

Alex on our Forever Family Day.
Alex after 1 month.

Alex after 2 months.

Today is 3 months since we became a family of 3. Dan left for Korea this morning. I thought for fun, I would post a few pictures from the past 3 months. It is amazing how much Alex has changed in such a short time. I can hardly remember what life was like before her.







Alex carving pumpkins this weekend with her Baba.

We seem to have lost Alex.....

......but we found this cute little fairy in the front yard hanging out near the flowers.....

Baby's days out.....

Well, we definitely had a busy weekend....

We wentto the Birmingham Zoo on Friday, and today we went to a place called the Pumpkin Patch where there are hayrides, a petting zoo, and to top it off, the kids get to pick their very own pumpkins for Halloween....As you can see Alex and her friend Cameron were having lots of fun at the pumpkin patch

Random Updates *Update*

I'm sure you have all been wondering what we have been up to lately.
I returned to work full time on the 15th of this month, which means I'm working about 11 hours a day. When I get home at night, blogging is the last thing I want to do, hence the neglect.
Dan came home from Korea on the 18th, but then had to leave again for a week long class in Houston the next Sunday. We had our first appointment at the Spina Bifida Clinic at Children's Hospital on Sept 24th. It was a LONG day. On Oct 1st, Alex had a test to check her bladder function and look for kidney reflux. Unfortunately, we found out that her bladder doesn't empty until the pressure is dangerously high and this causes kidney reflux, so we are now having to cath her every 4 hours. Alex does great with it and other than having to lay still for a few minutes, it doesn't seem to bother her. We also FINALLY got an appointment for her MRI. It is scheduled for Oct 30th.
Last Sunday, we went to Children's to visit Abby . She has had 2 major surgeries in the past 10 days. What a precious girl!! Go to her blog for pictures and to leave a comment.
We have big plans this weekend. Tomorrow we are going to try to go to the zoo and Saturday are going to the Pumpkin Patch. I have also promised Alex she can try on her Halloween costume since she has been begging to wear it for weeks.
Finally...pictures..the only reason most of you check this blog.





Monday when Alex woke up from her nap she had a major case of bed head. It was so cute, I had to take a picture.

Today when I came home from work Alex was all excited and wanted to show me something. It was a large box with a wrapped present in it. Someone sent us an adorable piggy bank. Alex LOVES it. We have no idea who sent it. So, if you read this blog and you sent the present..let me know. *Update* We found out the piggy bank was sent by Dan's company.
Tonight, when we left for dinner, Alex had to give the pig a kiss on the nose and tell it we would be right back. According to Alex... the piggy cried.

Alright that is enough for tonight. Check back later this weekend for pictures from our outings.
