where have we been!!

So, I guess I have taken a year off! Yeah, right. I don't know exactly why I started a blog at the time I did. It is a lot more work than I thought it would be. So here is my attempt to start it back up. Hold on tight, this is going to be a bumpy ride!

I guess I should start with an update. I am now a mother of 3! I had Isabella Kate Hill on February 27, 2009. Yes, I know, almost a year ago now. Still can't believe my baby girl is soon going to be 1! Where does the time go? She is so precious! Izzy has all of us wrapped around her little finger. She has such a great personality. She smiles all the time, has even been called "smiley" by a few people (my nickname by some family friends when I was little). Most people say she looks like her daddy (as do all the children that come out of me) but I think she looks like me, esp my baby pics. Nana would have to agree also :) I will definately be posting pictures.

Izzy had to get tubes in her ears yesterday. She was so cute! We had to be at Children's South by 5:45 am and surgery was at 6:30am. She did great. Dr. Goodson did the surgery and I would definately recommend him to everyone! He definately loves his job! The surgery took less than 10 min and Iz was right back in my arms...a little drunk! Too cute. She did great though. Such a little trooper. Daddy had to go to work after surgery so Iz and I went back home and took a nap. The boys stayed the night with Mimi and Pawpaw (lifesavers!) so Iz and I had the house to ourselves. After a quick shower and lunch for Izzy, we went to Nana's house to visit with Wes and Vanessa and Noah who were in town for just the day. Izzy got to meet her cousin for the first time. After about and hour we headed to PG to pick up the boys in a little bit of a snow flurry. When we got to Mimi's house, the boys were a little wired. With school being out for the holidays, then back for a couple of days, then out again for a snow day (which didn't really happen) they were just a little out of their routine. Elijah sang Bibleman all the way home, Izzy went back to sleep, and Tyler fell asleep just as we were pulling into Nana's driveway. Unloaded the kiddos at Nana's, rushed home to put on my scrubs, and made it to work with just a few minutes to spare. What a day. Later I realized I had just had a chicken biscuit to eat all day! What a life!!! Love it though.

Another great thing is I am no longer Baylor at work (weekends)! I am just plain ol' part-time. I don't have to work another weekend until Feb 20!!! So excited. I don't know what to do! I was Baylor for almost 3 years! I am so ready to spend time with my entire family on the weekends...yardsales, trips, and just relaxing! Awesome!

Who knows whats in store for us next. Craig and I are trying to take a cruise sometime this year for our 10 year anniversary, but not sure if that will work out. That's alright though, we have many more years ahead...

I will finish up with this: God is in control of our lifes. No matter what happens, we will trust in Him!
