26 months and 27.5 weeks

Well, Bryell is 26 months. At 26 months she weighs 26.2 pounds and we are yet to measure her! We have been working with her on asking her her name. In the past, she has always just repeated 'Name" to whoever asks. We decided to help her understand that her name is Bryell. Jeff would ask her "whats your name?" After just a few times she replies "BYell." Jeff gives her high five, knuckles, and we both clap and yell "YAY!!" She now walks up to Jeff and just says "BYell." and holds up her hand to start the high five knuckles and clapping. She is so proud and it is so cute to watch her!

We went over to our neighbor's for a barbecue and to light of fireworks yesterday. They are neighbors that we really like but our schedules never seem to work together. They have 5 kids, all of which are wonderful. Jeff taught two of the girls his first year here and one of the boys last year. He coaches the oldest girl in basketball. I had one of the boys in reading group. An amazing family. It was so fun watching Bryell open up and run around everywhere with them last night. They took us out to their land and Bryell got to pet a horse and see chickens. She loves "neighs" as she calls them but was a little hesitant getting that close to them. I have to admit though, she did pet them (and I, of course, didn't :) ).

I am working on getting some more pictures up! Bear with me they are coming, I promise!

3 Year Anniversary

Its strange, these three years feel like there really haven't been three years on one hand and on the other hand they have flown by. We have an amazing 2 year old daughter, an angel baby, and another daughter on the way. Maybe that is why they seem to have flown by... but I have to say going through all of the things we have gone through has only made our relationship that much stronger... maybe that is why it seems to still be like our first year. Jeffrey is definitely my best friend and I am so lucky to have him in my life!

Happy Anniversary, Jeffrey! I love you!
