Birthday Week!

We had a fun and busy week last week. Scott turned 29 and I turned 27 last week! We spent two evenings at Scott's parents for dinner and birthday celebrations. We got some new dishes and lots of candy! My parents took us out to Vito's for our birthdays! I love going out to dinner so that was an awesome gift! For Scott's bday the girls and I made him a nice breakfast and Ryan opened his gifts for him. Ryan thought that was a lot of fun. Then we had some bad wind and lost our power. It was out for 24 hours! That was miserable! Bekah and I didnt sleep well without our fans. I never realized how dependent I am upon electricity! Good life lesson for me! For my birthday Scott and the girls took me out for dinner to Chili's! It was yummy and a lot of fun! Ryan and Bekah loved going out for dinner. We also went out for ice cream the next night because we were too full to go after dinner! Anyway, we had a good week celebrating the life God has given us to live!

On my birthday Bekah went to see the ENT for her ear infections and nose congestion. She still had fluid in her ears even after 4 antibiotics this last month. Dr suggested she gets tubes. We are happy to hear something may relieve us all of these ear infections. Then she put her on Clairitan to see if we could dry up her nose but after 4 days we have had no change! Dr is trying to see if we can put off taking out her adnoids. We will call this week to see if she has something else she can try. Her surgery is scheduled for Oct 2.

Ryan has been a good girl lately not having a lot of tantrums! We went to the museum this week with Christa Sanders and her daughter Saebella and had a lot of fun. Ryan liked being the big girl. Ryan also enjoyed story time this week. All week Ryan has wanted to play outside. We are glad she likes being outside again. We have gone on many wagon rides with Bekah which Bekah absolutely loves. Ryan likes it as long as we go see the train tracks or get ice cream. Ryan is having trouble dealing with Bekah being close by all the time. Bekah is enthralled with Ryan and therefore gets in Ryan's way! Ryan has bitten, pushed, and hit Bekah many times this week. That is something we will keep working on!

Bekah has loved her new freedom of crawling and pulling up. She wishes she could walk but there is time for that. She has started eating table food quite well and only just turned 9 months old! She ate broccoli, chicken, and rice today! Im impressed at how well she does! She is really working on her top middle teeth and we hope they come in soon!

The girls are so cute and learning so many new things! I love watching them play with one another or by themselves! I just wish they wouldnt grow up so fast!
