Trying to Finish Well!

Well this is the first day of the true adjustment Shane & I are making in our lives. Sure we've been adapting since day one of Dakota's life, but today Shane started back to work. And I'm the only adult with the three kids. Luckly we've had the three weeks to get back to some sort of schedule for Kelli & Daniel + Dakota. Who we're still working on awake time so she sleeps good at night time. Thank you to all the parents who came a visited/helped out. It was a true blessing! Thankyou for all the prayers and continued prayer that are appericated and a true god send. Keep them coming. Now for new pictures Dakota's curly hair! Only after her bath. Grandpa Fred, Daniel, & Kelli enjoying a movie. Have a great week, Love, SKKDD

Here is something that Marie will find humorous! So this is a story three weeks in the making. We received a netflix movie the Saturday before Marie arrived in town and we set it on the kitchen table. Later that night we thought it would be fun to watch, went to find it and we couldn't. Shane tore the house apart, looked through the garbage but no disk. When Marie was here we did a thorough spring cleaning still no disk. So I ended up buying it from netflix never thinking we would find it. Well the night before last I decided to empty out my bathroom garbage that was starting to overfill. As those of you connecting the dots, upon emptying it into the big garbage can I saw the cover of the netflix sleeve, and there was the movie we lost almost three weeks ago. I forgot how the kids use the flap below the sink as a mail box. Apparently Daniel or Kelli decided it needed to be mailed. Grammie Dennis with Kelli & Dakota Getting ready for a picture! We had a good weekend hope you al...

Well Things are looking up for Dakota & Family. Her jaundice is getting better so Mom & Dad can get some sleep other than in hour stretches. Here are some pictures of Daniel & Kelli giving Dakota kisses.

Hello All, well new things in our family life? Dakota is gaining weight and battling getting over jaundice. Mom & Dad are short on sleep, trying to long on patients. Brother is learning that it's not nice to hit Kelli or push. and that Dakota isn't ready to play trucks with him or receive "Hi Fives". He says "no" and "thank you" after you give him something he said no too. Kelli is learning about being silent and listening to a conversation. We love her, and patients are key to life in this house. Shane's Mom left us to go visit her grand kids and daughters in Boise. She has been helping us spring clean our house for the past two weeks. My mom flies in for a short visit tonight til Sunday. Due to tax season. WE have a wonderful church family providing evening meals couple days a week. Shane & I are most thankful for that since Shane is tired of wracking his brain for meal ideas. We are hanging in there and thank everyone for the prayers...

Dakota after her bath! Kelli with her arms full of cousin Bryn, & little Sister Aunt Dawna with Dakota

Thanks to my sister Dawna for taking all the great pictures. We are still adjusting to the newest addition in the family and the stirring up of things. Daniel was put out with mom last night but with some forced loving has forgiven me. Kelli is such a great help taking diapers to the garbage & holding Dakota after feedings.

Born Jan. 30, 2007 Here is Dakota Riley Lambing weighting in at 7lbs 12.9 onces, 20 inches 9cm. Just short of matching sister Kelli birth statistics. I know this will make some people mad but after being in active labor since 4pm til 9:17pm one push and her head was out, second push was for her shoulders. Full head of hair as you can see, so the 9 months of acid reflux was worth it once again. More pictures to follow Love, us all
