Meet Mr. Jiggles!!!

We now have a new addition to the Henry Family by the name of Mr. Jiggles a.k.a "Jiggs"! Well, we will actually bring him home the last week of July because he is only 3 weeks old now. The breeder was nice enough to bring him to meet me at work last week and I was so excited! I have waited almost 3 years for a Yorkie. Enjoy the pics!!

Too Cool!!

I know that the pic quality isn't great from the cell phone, but this was still too cute to us! Check out the future HEARTBREAKER!!

Happy June Everybody!!

Can you believe it? It is already June 1, 2008! This year is literally flying by. Korlon will be 2 years old in 4 weeks, Dee & I will be married for 3 years in about 7 weeks...this is crazy but GREAT! Well, this last week was pretty stressful for us. Korlon had strep throat! And he had a bad case of it too! My supposed 3-day Memorial Day weekend extended to 5 days, 24 hours each day of sleep deprivation, 2 pediatrician visits, 1 day and 2 late night trips to the pharmacy, 4 laundry days secondary to puke/running noses/sneeze sprays, etc.--YUCKY!(are these symptoms common with strep???), phone calls to/from work regarding patient treatments, Disinfection Command Central (betcha can't guess the number of Clorox wipes or ounces of Lysol spray used!) every 1-2 hours...this list can continue but I will spare you. Oh, one more thing though, on top of all of the aforementioned, Dee's sinuses and allergies decided to flare up. Can a sista get a break?!! I literally went back to work to get some rest. Isn't that a shame? Well folks, I guess this is the type of stuff that is deeply coded and embedded in the marital vows and the parenting handbook. But I LOVE ALL OF IT and I LOVE MY GUYS!!:)

In my Daddy's shoes...

Can you hear me now? Are you in my network?

Our Big Boy!!!

Hello Everyone!
We just wanted to share a few pics of our Big Boy doing some Big Boy stuff! (Actually, I have wanted to do this for a while but my cord to connect my camera to the laptop was playing hide-n-seek...And I just found it today!) He is also doing really well utilizing sign language and going to the potty. This parenting thing isn't so hard...just kidding! We are still learning every second of everyday probably for the rest of our lives. But WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH. Korlon is the greatest gift that we have ever received! Even at his young age of 1, he has already touched so many lives, people ask us if they can "just hold" him after hearing his miraculous story. To this day, we continuously thank God for enabling all of his medical staff with life saving minds and hands and of course the prayer warriors whose heart-felt prayers meant and still mean so much to us. I have to stop now...I am teary eyed and he is blowing saliva through a straw on my arm...such a sweet, yet 100% boy!!!

Here's Korlon using his Spin Brush all by himself!!!

And, here's Korlon getting a fresh line for his big reunion in Fort Worth!!

(And yes, he is sitting in the sink!)

These were to cute to keep to ourselves. Enjoy!!:)))

Hello Again...

Hi Everyone!
I know that it has been about 4 weeks...but we have been busier than ever! Like everyone isn't but we have truly had a lot going on around here. First, we were in Fort Worth a couple of weekends ago for Korlon's 2nd appearance at the NICU's annual reunion. He had a great time of course...it was almost like he remembered everyone...which he probably did in a subconscious way. Here are some pics from that day.

Above pic: Me & Miss Kenzie (1 of my nurses) and Miss Leigh Anna (my respiratory therapist)
Me and the Build-A-Bear Bunny!
Me and Something! A cat maybe?!
Me with Miss Sherry (1 of my nurses)
Me & the best Daddy in the whole world!!!

Also, Dee has been going full speed ahead with working full-time (+some) and attending his rigorous graduate program. He will complete his Master's in Organizational Administration this fall. We are SO PROUD OF HIM!!:) One of our life goals as a couple is to each receive a master's degree and by golly, I did it and he is almost done!

I have been completely swamped by work! Working 40-50+ hours at the facility and endless hours at home...can I say that I need a vacation? But, I am not going to complain. My life is great and I am truly blessed and fortunate to have my handsome husband, our precious son, my one-of-a-kind family and my blossoming career.
