Hi Everyone
Hi Tim, Rachelle and everyone,
It's been nice to read about what is going on with everyone. So I thought it was my turn to update you guys on my life. I've been married for 5 1/2 years to Scott. We have 2 kids. Levi is 3 1/2 and Courtney is 2. So they keep us very busy and it's been fun. It was hard at first because they are only 14 1/2 months apart, but now it's nice because they play very well together. Now we are also done with diapers. Yippee! We have a dog named Gidget (a whippet), 2 cats, and a guinea pig. My mom still has horses so I get to ride there when I want, and my parents live just a little over a mile away. I give riding lessons to 2 kids and work 8 hours a week at an animal hospital as a vet tech/ receptionist. Scott gets bonding time with the kids. That is where I worked full time before I had kids. When my kids get a little older I'd like to get a foal to work with again, but for now I get to help one of my lesson students break her 3 year old paint. So that's been fun. Well it's been good to hear from all of you. I'll try to keep in touch better.

This is a picture from November - but I'm having computer problems and I can't add any of my digital camera pictures right now.

but at long last we have a new 'working' computer & I'm all set to check my mail & send some on a more regular basis. I have loved catching up on everyone's news, although it felt a little bit like I was spying!!! So here's all my news... if that's okay!
, she's amazing & we love being parent... it's the best job! We have had a bit of a rocky start Lily was born with her foodpipe (oesophagus) blind ended & the other half joined to her trachea (windpipe), so she needed immediate surgery. We had her home for about six weeks & she started to develop breathing problems & had several blue episodes (very scary!!!) so she had more major surgery... God got us through it all. One lady at our church was praying for us just after Lily was born, she knew we'd had a baby & that there were problems but didn't know any details about sex, name etc... God gave her a picture of a Lily (flower), perfect in form, growing tall & strong! This is the promise that we have held on to through all the rough times. She is nearly 6 months, is full of character, is definitely a 'daddies girl' & sooo beautiful, although I'm totally biased!!! At the moment she's great, she is having surgery again in august to remove a little part of her kidney & then hopefully that is everything. I have included a few pictures too!!!
