Hello...not much to post so I thought I would play around with some of the settings on the blog. I have updated my blog so that you can now leave comments. Please feel free to leave comments...I enjoy reading what others have to say about what I blog.

How much they look alike...

Caleb and Haley both at about 3 months of age.

3 months old already...

Haley was three months old on Friday. Can you believe it?! Time goes by so fast. We got her 3 months pictures taken and they turned out wonderful. We did not get any of Caleb. He would rather not have his picture taken right now anyway. Not only that but our house needs a little bit of Haley. We have so many pictures of Caleb, it is time to even it out.

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation 2007 Ambassadors

Shane and I were awarded the 2007 CFF Ambassadors the other night at a CF dinner. We feel VERY honored. Although-we feel like we should be thanking and honoring the CFF. They are working hard to find a cure for our little boy and so many others. For those of you who are unaware-Shane and I have been speaking at several different CF Foundraisers. I have lost count on how much money we were a part of raising...but the last event (in November) we raised $572,000 in one night. Over $350,000 of that was raised in less than 15 minutes. People are amazing and so generous!!!! We are forever thankful!

So frustrating!!

My wonderful toddler must have thrown some of his medications in the trash...or the medications have mysteriously grown limbs and walked on out of this house. Caleb is missing his Pro-Air treatment with it's chamber. Pretty much Albuterol with a chamber to dispense the medication to him. He gets it twice per day and it has been missing since Tuesday night. Shane called me at work asking where it was. It is no where to be found. That is fine not a big deal...right? So I contact the CF Pharmacy and they have them in stock and can order it for me and have it shipped out so I would receive it Saturday morning. Today the pharmacy left me a message to call "Ariel" at the pharmacy. When I called her back she was gone until Tuesday and Caleb's order did not get shipped because they needed payment first. Fine...but why did they not tell me this YESTERDAY!!! Now he won't get his med until maybe Thursday of next week. What gets me is that "Ariel" is the only one who knew anything about Caleb's order (even though I highly doubt that). And to add icing to the cake...the fact that they needed me to pay for it first is ridiculous. For those of you who do not know-Caleb is covered under our health insurance still but because of his medical bills we got him on back up Medicaid. Caleb was qualified by Medicaid because they deemed him "ill" enough for the insurance. At first it was a pride issue telling people that my son was on Medicaid. But honestly, he is not on it because we are poor or can't cover him with health insurance. Just our health insurance does not cover him fully because of all of his needs.

I guess I am just frustrated because they have what should be this wonderful CF Pharmacy back East...and I think it is full of empty human cavities. OOPS that was kind of mean Huh. But it is frustrating not being able to get the meds for your child to help him breathe. Which we all know-breathing is an essential part of life. I was not the nicest person on the phone with the CF Pharmacy today-but sometimes I have to be a Momma Bear first. By the way. Children's Hospital just called...and they have a chamber and the Pro-Air ready and waiting for me at King Soopers. The nurse also told me that I can order these chambers, without a prescription, on amazon.com. Who woulda thunk it?

And off he went...

Shane went ice fishing this past weekend with some buddies of his. They went up to Walden, which is over Cameron Pass (Shane has asked me not to disclose the exact location :) ). The wives of all the guys were a little nervous for their little get away because of the snow that continues to fall in the high country. But they went, they were safe, and they had a lot of fun. Between the five of them they caught between 30-40 fish. During the night wildlife stole the feast from outside the cabin. That's okay with me...I only like that kind of fish when Shane cooks it over a camp fire. The wildlife can have it...I bet they were pretty hungry anyway.




This is the cabin they stayed in.


The path from the cabin onto the lake.


Isn't he so cute! So proud of his fish :)


The boys

Thank Heaven for little girls!

And thank heaven Haley's nursery is finally finished!! Caleb's nursery was completed 4 months before he made his arrival. Haley just now got her nursery. I really did not want to do her nursery before she was born since we did not know what we were having when I was pregnant with her. And if she was a girl...I really wanted a girly nursery. But that alone was not enough for us to find out her sex before she was born. Caleb on the other hand was different. We did not find out his sex...but I knew in my "gut" that he was a boy. So his nursery was pretty much little boy. My Mom called me "gutsy". So here is Haley's room. I LOVE IT!!!!
