Things have been so crazy these last few days that I have not been able to keep up really. So now that Audrey is asleep for the night and the house is quite I have that chance. Lets begin. Audrey turned 6 months on Friday the 20th. We took her in for her routine check up for immunizations, weight check and follow up to her GI appointment! Audrey weighed in at 13 pounds 9 ounces and 25 inches long! I know that does not sound like a lot for a 6 month old but she is right on track for being born at only 4 pounds 13 ounces and 18 inches long. Dr. Wells noted that her stranger danger awareness is right where he wants it to be and that she is exhibiting normal 6 month old behavior. To my relief, this was the first doctor appointment for her that we did not have new worries arise. Nathan and I can now breath a huge sigh of relief knowing she does not need shots for 6 months and she has another check up in 3 months. We are still waiting to hear the results of her MRI but I have a feeling that will not be until her follow up
appointment with GI doctor who ordered the test. With that said, we faced the deployment of my brother, let me explain. Kevin is not really my brother of coarse, but he is my sisters best friend and has lived with us for about 2 years now. This is his home and where he comes to when he is not deployed or full time National Guard. I call him my brother because he is the closest thing I have to an actual brother seeing as I am 1 of 4 girls. Anywho, he deployed on Tuesday, stopping in Wisconsin for a month for training. We took him to the airport at 5AM Tuesday morning and it was a somber but proud goodbye. We are hoping he gets to come home for a few days in December before shipping out. This photo is of him the morning he left next to my soon to be brother in law Danny. The night before, he stayed at my house and I cooked us a nice dinner of his favorite tortellini and sausage and we played Wii for hours, getting very little sleep! As for today, the day before Turkey Day, Nathan and I spent the afternoon at Walmart getting last minute things for tomorrow. Tonight I had the task of making 4 pumpkin rolls, 2 had to be made with splenda since my Grandfather is diabetic and Nathans Grandfather cannot have any fat in his diet. The filling usually calls
for 1 cup of powered sugar so I had to alter the recipe and make homemade powered sugar using splenda and cornstarch. They turned out great and im sure everyone cannot wait to dig in tomorrow! I should be sleeping now since we have to catch the 9AM ferry to Anderson Island tomorrow morning and we still have to pack the car before we leave. Watch for the recipe and photos of my pumpkin rolls adventures, VERY MESSY but YUMMY FUN! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
