What a year...Already!!!!

Well of course the year could not start out better then Braden doing absolutely perfect. That kid is something else and he has a new trick. He does this screaming thing where he will get a good scream from deep down inside and let it go. Then if you do it back he will continue with different sounds. It is very cute. He knows his bottle and pacifier too. He can put it in his mouth and he is trying to hold his bottle. We have introduced him to the sippy cup but have not mastered that yet. We are working on it. But WOW this kid is doing great and we can not be happier. We had a nice family weekend. Just hung out at home and spent time with Braden. It was really nice. He had a rough night last night he got his Synagis on Monday so that made him a little uneasy for the rest of the day and evening. But Steve is such a good man he took care of Braden pretty much most of the night so that I could get some rest since I had to be back at work today. Things are good and we hope that they continue.

on to other news......

My Mom, Braden's MoMo, Aurora Jackson was named the Parent Teacher Liaison of the Year for medium based schools districts for the State of Texas. She beat out several other people from all over the State. She will receive her official award at the State Convention later this month. We are so proud of her.

My nephew, Jonathan L. Havis won Soaring Eagle at his school. This is an award that the class votes on for the 6 weeks and Jonathan won. He was very happy and got his award at the school assembly last Thursday. Way to go JoJo!!!!

My sister Connie and her family, Christopher, Jackson and Jonathan we named Family of the Year for Denton County! They were nominated several months back and have had several interviews and found out today at a luncheon. They will be receiving an award tonight at the City Council Meeting here in Denton. We are so excited about that.

So see things are turing around for us. We are all determined to make this year better then last year and make it a positive one. Not that we are not thrilled to have Braden and we would do it again if it meant having a healthy baby but we are glad that this year is starting off right!!
