Braydens First Christmas

Braydens first Christmas was so much fun! We held the annual Christmas Eve party at our house this year, and had all of our family and friends here (except for a few that live out of state of course)...but we all had a wonderful time. Brayden enjoyed opening his gifts, and having Grandma here to share it with us. Merry Christmas-The Snow Family.

Devil Rays Baby!

Such a Stinker...







Thank you Lautner Family (from Florida) for my Devil Rays hat! Daddy and I match now! Since this is Daddys favorite baseball team we had to post these pics...guess we know Brayden is going to be a baseball fan just like Daddy!

Snowsuit Time/Three months old...

I like this soft suit...

It's warm and cozy...

Okay...I'm not going to fit in this thing...

But it's funny all the same :-)

Alrighty...I'm ready to get out of this thing now...

Our Snowbaby...12 Weeks and growing...

Brayden will be officially 12 weeks tomorrow November 28th. Its amazing how fast he has grown. He is starting to try and stand on his little "leggers", and he loves having his little "toe-zers" played with. (it's good that I am back to work...otherwise my entire vocabulary might have changed without some adult converstation!!!) We have also been learning all about animals and the sounds they make. He giggles out loud now when we sing and play, and he loves how the duck says "qwak, qwak qwak". He is an amazingly beautiful little boy that makes me smile every morning when I pick him up out of the bassinette. He smiles at the sight of Mommy and Daddy now, and he LOVES to watch winnie the pooh on tv. Grandma is coming home for Christmas, and we are so tickled and excited...she is going to be amazed at how much her Brayden Boy has grown.

Me Cook???

Anyone who knows me knows that I DONT know how to cook for the life of me. I wish I did. Well...I can cook, but I don't think people really like to eat it! We told Brayden I was going to attempt to make my very own turkey this year...and this was his response...






So...needless to say, I will not be making my own turkey this year. Oh well...the only thing we miss by going someplace else for Thanksgiving is food poisoning right? Ha ha.

Happy Thanksgiving 2007!

This year has been one with many blessings. It started out a little rough for us...well with my job, and the high risk pregnancy not fitting into their culture... the move into our new home in Orlando in February-which we all know turned out to be a total nightmare...unheard of nightmare, the move to NY, then staying with my brother and his family for three months, then trying to find work, win unemployment, and move AGAIN into a new home...all while having this high risk pregnancy! We were so completely lost and frustrated with our lack of luck at the beginning of the year...but as the saying goes..."everything happens for a reason". Turns out...I tested positive for a Lupus Anticoagulant that could have cost me Brayden had it not been detected...and my Docs in Florida never even thought to test for it. Once we arrived here and I began to see Dr. Andrews....him and my team of specialists tested for it right away..and we were able to proactively start treatment before anything bad could happen to me or the baby. Thank God for the bad, because it brought us to the good. He knows what he doing. Brayden was born a healthy happy baby, and we have that and so much more to be thankful for today. We have a wonderful family, friends, and baby dogs. My health is better now than it has ever been, and Ron and I feel so blessed and grateful for everything we have gone through and been given this year. Thank you to everyone who has supported us, been there for us, and given us encouragement to get through everything. Lots of love and hugs to you on this day!
