    Great weekend!!!

    What a great weekend we had, and I must say I am kind of sad as I sit and type about it....I am sad it is over!!  I just really enjoy my time with my family and especially little Kylie.  We are so fortunate to have her.  What a true blessing!  Well, it first started about Friday at 2:45...it was nice to be leaving work and feeling like I am a bit caught up.  With my job, the first six weeks is always really hard and a bit stressful.  Well, it has been six weeks and we have had tons of meetings already and lots of evaluation reports that have been completed and interpreted...YEAH!! I know lots more to go but, for me, the stessful ones are down for the year!!  Next, I came home to sweet Kylie who was in the best mood.  We sat and read for about one hour...she absolutely LOVES to read.  We finished the evening playing outside and Kylie slept like a rock! Saturday we visited with my grandparents and some neighbor friends that have a son about the same age as Kylie and they just really play great together, so we all had a ball and great conversation.  The only bummer is that the GREAT AGGIES (WHOOP!!) lost the game in the last minute (SSSSSS!!).  Sunday after church we just hung out and watched the Cowboy game and cleaned up the house.  Kylie really gets into the cleaning thing and enjoys helping!!
     
    AND Today we went to the fair.  We got the day off for Fair Day.  I haven't been to the fair since I was pregnant with Kylie.  It was so nice just to think that we felt comfortable taking Kylie to the fair this year.  Our life seems to be so normal this year (I don't want to jinx it).  It was great fun, however, it was so HOT!! The only good thing about it being hot I guess is that I didn't eat so much.  Kylie was funny because most of the time when we would watch a show she would just be watching the people watching the show instead of the show.  She is a trip!! She absolutely loved the livestock and the petting zoo.  We saw a pig that was 1,147 lbs. Isn't that just sick!! I had a hard time understanding why they would do that to a poor animal.  It said it ate 20lbs. of feed per day.  WOW!!! Needless to say, he was the size of a big cow.  Kylie really didn't know what to think of it. Anyway, I am glad we took her, but I must say I was so happy to be home and everyone showered and bathed.  NICE to have air conditioning.  I ended the evening with an awesome workout class and now I am watching The Bachelor while Chris is playing a softball game.  Kylie was glad to go to bed tonight. 
     
    We saw her pulmonologist last week and he just thought Kylie looked amazing.  He is just a positive man and always makes Kylie feel so comfortable upon examination. He just said to get her through the winter and he would consider trying to take her off of her last treatment that she gets only once a day for a preventative. So, that was awesome news and very welcomed.   The last two winters we were at his office once a month for synagis and this year we don't have an appointment scheduled until March!!! What a difference!
     
    Kylie continues to make great strides with her speech and is beginning to put three words together for a sentence.  She is counting to ten and tonight started in on some teens!! She is really starting to color alot more than ever.  She is a true miracle and I love her so much!! Thanks for checking in with us and please keep all the CDH kiddos and families in your thoughts.  We are fortunate to have our Kylie and I think of that every day! Have a great week!
