Christmas Cards

This year due to lack of time we could not send all our friends and family Christmas cards. We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas

We have had a blessed year. It was full of joy and hundreds of doctors appointments. It is still hard to believe that we are a family of 6. If you have been to the house and heard all the noise, it would be easy to believe. How do you summarize the year for 4 children and keep it under 10 pages? Here is my attempt.

Tyler has had a very busy year. He finished 1st grade with straight A’s. This summer he was enrolled in basketball, soccer, swimming, and wrestling camp. His favorite thing this summer was our two trips to Gatlinburg. He started 2nd grade in another school. We wanted him to attend a school that had stronger academics. He is such a sweet boy so he had no problem fitting in with everyone. He is a really good big brother and enjoys Wyatt chasing him around. Tyler turned 8 on December 9.

We had to take Brianne out of 3K because of the babies. She was always sick, and we were afraid she would pass it to the babies. During the summer she was taking gymnastics and swimming, but she had to stop because she broke her clavicle. She was happy to stop swim because she does not like the water. She turned 4 on July 6. She has grown really tall and was in the 95th percentile for height. Brianne was very excited to learn that she would start 4K at the same school as her brother. She attends half days and loves going to see all her friends.

Wyatt is our little ham. He loves to smile at people in hopes of getting them to hold him. We hope he had his last surgery in July. Both twins have had major feeding issues, but Wyatt is now doing much better. He now acts hungry. Wyatt is crawling and cruising furniture so walking is right around the corner. The follow up clinic deemed him 2 months ahead of his adjusted age. He tips the scale at a hefty 18 pounds.

Bailey, aka Little Bit, is our little fighter. She is definitely the one that has had to struggle the hardest. Early intervention, through the Institute for the Deaf and Blind, started seeing her around her first birthday because she was still not sitting unassisted. In the last 6 weeks she has improved both with sight and development. She can see much better and will look at your face. She just started crawling 2 weeks ago! She recently spent a night in the hospital having procedures done. They were trying to figure out why she will not eat. The doctor believes it is behavioral and wants her to see occupational therapy. I pray that the next year will see great improvements in eating for her. She weighs almost 16.5 pounds.

We hope that your family has a joyful Christmas and a great New Year. May the next year be as joyful as the last.

Lee, Regina, Tyler, Brianne, Wyatt, and Bailey
