They enjoyed the summer motorcycling and wake boarding and are getting very good at both!! They are doing well in school and have great teachers! We are so blessed and feel so grateful for all we have!! We miss everyone that is away so much and cant wait to all be together again!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

No, this is not Mandy posting these!

Do you really think she knows how to blog???

(it's her friend Amanda)

As far as I know Owen was taken off the ventilator this afternoon and has been doing pretty good. He just needs more time for his lungs to develop more and get stronger. I'm sure there's lots more information I could give you but I will most likely explain it wrong. Everyone probably knows all of this already but Mandy didn't tell me what to say.

I went in and took some pictures for those of you who aren't close by and haven't been able to meet this little guy. He is a fighter and so cute! He kinda looks like a little old man! (Hopefully Mandy won't hate me for sayin' that but he does, really most newborns do.)

Other than needing a little more time under the bili-lights and breathing on his own more to strengthen those lungs, he's absolutely perfect!

Meet Owen!

hi All!

Hello to everyone! What's up w/no action. Mandy, thanks for actually responding! I am sorry to hear about your dr. visit. We will definately keep you in our prayers!
It was a national holiday today, Singapores 45th year as an independent country. Like our 4th of July. Spen had work off, so we met some families and took a boat ride to an island and rented bikes and rode around the island. It was so fun! Wished you were all there w us. Especially you mom and dad, you would have loved it! We are doing well. Hoping our shipment comes this week. THe kids all have insta friends. It has been so nice. Ava said today, I don't want to be in SIngapore, I want to go to nan and pop's. She has been grouchy and whiny. I know it's alot of adjusting for her. Mardeen has been great, so helpful, and such a good sport about everything. She loved the biking today. We love having her here.
I love you all and hope to have a phone # to give you soon!

Hi from Singapore

Hi to all my cute fam! It's 4am and stel and ave are up w more energy than you can imagine. They are watching home movies b/c we have no dvd player, no cable tv and no toys. We made the long journey pretty well. Ava was a major pain on the long flight, non stop the whole time, wouldn't watch tv and every ativity I had lasted about 2 minutes and on to the next, didn't fall asleep until only 2 hr away and then woke after an hour in histerics, one man even offered me a antihistamine, said it would knock her out, I was tempted, but a bit disturbed also. I took her potty 5 times and she wet through 2 diapers and pants in the first 3 hrs! She has some serious out
put. THe 2nd flight was much better, we were all so tired and slept most of it. We pulled in to a Welcome Home sign made by the Dayne's. Our first day was spent getting bedding, food, blow dryer and we got a sewing machine! and random stuff to set up a house. THe kids have seen some of their friends, and Becky's baby is darling. Of course we ended up at Ikea. We had to keep waking up the girls, they fell asleep at dinner, in the car, and at Ikea, It was sad, they were so miserable. Ifelt like it was child abuse. Spen is sick, and maybe got a little used to being alone??!! Brit spent the first night and morn crying, she was pretty emotional. I would call right now, but can't find the cell phone. Things will get better! It is so hard for me to be so out of sorts, but patience...it will all come together!
Love you all and miss you already!!

Hi Mom and Dad!

we miss you already. Life just isn't, and won't ever be the same without you both being a part of it! I've cried twice today, it hit me big time when I saw this big picture of you DAD, in the study, I lost it! Ash and I took Abbie on their special little date before we leave. They dressed and did their hair the same and typed up a list of what they wanted to do. Kneaders, Broccoli soup for lunch, shopko for Webkinz, Mcdonalds for dessert and fingers and toenails painted. When Ash and I were driving down the street I said, "WE are making history", this is the type of thing those two cute girls will remember for a Long time! They are so cute and it breaks my heart to separate them again!! Ans had to have major dental work done today. Dr. Gifford was leaving for a fam reunion, so he fit her in for part this morning and the other part this afternoon. That poor little girl has been through it. She is such a trooper. 3 little miracles today...at swimming Pam had Beckham swim when Alton and Ava swam, it made it so we were able to take Abb's and Ans, I had Roo watch me back out today, but as I started forward I had no idea Beckham was on the bike in front of me trying to get Alton's bike away from him, 3rd, Dr. Gifford getting Ans in today! Heavenly Father loves us, and I love you!!!! Joce

Here is our sweet little girl

We are so happy to have our sweet girl with us! She has brought such a special feeling to our home. Keegan loves his little sister, he likes to give her kisses and makes sure she is ok if he hears her sneeze or cry. It is definitely an adjustment for him and he has thrown a couple of good fits for us but he is so darn nice and will be a super big brother.

We love you all and hope you have a very merry Christmas, I bet it is especially exciting with the return of the Stevens!

Happy Birthday Lisel and Happy Late Birthday Britta!!

Brit, I hope you had a fun day. I was with Ali and we kept saying we need to call Britta and then we would realize it was the middle of the night there and then the day got away from us. But we were thinking about you all day and hope you had a special day. Love you.
Lis, To us your Birthday is Tomorrow, I hope it is great. But to you I think it is over and you are asleep. So I hope it was fun and great and that you know how much we love you.
Can't wait to see you all.
