New Beginnings

I guess it is time to get back at it and update you on our "circus" of a life........
Most of you may know that Tim and I have split up due to unforeseen circumstances.  BUT, life goes on and the girls are moving at a quick pace!  I think that Tim would agree, that the girls are stepping along to their own beat.  I feel like they are learning new things everyday and teaching me new things at every moment! 
The girls and I have moved to a new home (please email me for new address) and the girls are both very excited to have and decorate their OWN bedrooms.  The house on Glendale is under contract and should be sold by the end of the month. I am very excited for this huge accomplishment!  

Miss Hazel is in Kindergarten this year and rockin' it!  We both LOVE her teacher and she has been a huge blessing to me.  She is a priceless asset during this confusing time.  Hazel just turned 6 and is extremely happy to let you know it!

Willa is slowing getting ready to pass the hump between 2 and 3.  She is talking like a champ and Hazel believes that Willa "talks and talks and talks!"  Willa is potty trained and loved getting a big-girl bed when we moved to the new house.  
Both of the girls are in Ballet this year!  Hazel has a combo class of Ballet and Jazz.  Willa's class is a beginning Ballet and creative movement class.  These classes make for a very long Thursday night but they love it and are very good dancers!  They obviously got their coordination from their dad!  
I hope that you are all well and getting ready for a very Merry Christmas!

Kellan loves to laugh at his mommy!

Hazel taped this (she did a pretty good job) video of Kellan.  Sommer is getting him to smile. I eventually stared at him long enough that he found my face silly enough to laugh at!

Kellan comes home!

Here is a video of Kellan being sooooo darn cute!  Tom and Sommer were allowed to bring Kellan home ofr the first time on Tuesday and they are completely inamored with him(as am I.) He is doing very well and is completely healthy with the exception of a nasty diaper-rash!  Poor kid poops to much now! I am fascinated by Kellan's size, he is just barely 8 pounds at three months old!  Despite his size he acts just like a three month old, smiling, squirming and starting to kick his legs back and forth.  He can hold his head up very well while staring at Tom and Sommer.  Hazel CAN"T wait untill she can hold and touch him and take him out to play!

 

Happy St. Patricks

I know that I am super behind BUT I am posting a couple pictures of our St. Patricks Day.  For some reason our Holiday was in camo green!

This one of Willa just kills me.  This is her pouty face. She is aparently done with pictures! Hahaha

Sick Kiddos

The poor kiddos are sick today.Willa has been fighting a nasty cough for over a week and I finally decided to take them to the doc.  Hazel started in on the cough around Saturday.  By Sunday they both had a fever.  Went in this morning and was told what I thought, it's a bug, just ride it out.  Hmmmmmm, why do I despise that answer so much?!  Willa is just so unbelievably whiney when she doesn't feel good. I don't think that any one in our house has slept an entire night in the last week!  Grrrrrr... She must get better by her birthday next week!!!

No more home phone

Hello All!

Just thought that I would all let you know that we have canceled our home phone number.  Not to sure many of you even used it! LOL.  So...... why pay $59.00 a month for it?!?  You can always reach Tim or I on our cell phones!

New Photo of Kellan!! 7 weeks old!

I think he is starting to look more like his mama! But his nose is still VERY simalar to Willa!

Gotta love the Cynical at heart!!!!

My new favorite Cynical Blog

Kellan Thomas Grogan

Here are some photos that Sommer has been taking and working on while staying at the Ronald McDonald house in Denver.  Kellan is doing sooooo well and there are soooooo many people that are patiently (maybe not always patiently) awaiting his arrival at home!!  Kellan is tiny but already has a lot of personallity!!

The Newest Grogan!!

I cannot begin to describe how HAPPY I am to be holding a new JOY in my life (and Tom and Sommer's life too, I guess) AND to be completely dressed! I am flabergasted by my love for a little boy that is not my own.  In this picture I am shocked at how much I loved this little guy the minute I saw him! I never thought that I would love another child as fiercely as I love my own girls.  This was an amazing joy and Christmas miracle!  Thank you Tom and Sommer for letting me participate in (delivery, no impregnating) this amazing experience!  

 

We all look so Happy and Rejuvinated for 3 in the morning!!!!

So Far Behind

As most of you know, our Christmas was obsolutely chaotic!  So here are a couple of cute photos of our christmas morning.  We were forcing the presents, Hazel had surgery the day before and felt miserable.  Willa was happy though!!!

  

Hazel did manage a couple smiles when she saw their new Barbie Jeep!!!
