Ellie's first REAL trip to the Emergency Room

Well, Ellie had her first real experience with the emergency room yesterday! It was so sad! We were at our friends' Cory and Andrea's house just enjoying some breakfast and Ellie decided she wanted to sit on mom's lap for a little bit. When Ellie tried to get down she ended up just slipping and falling and wacking her ear on the corner of a metal frame chair! When she stood crying and bleeding it looked like just a scratch, turns out she sliced her ear wide open! So we rushed her to Lourdes Emergency Room in Pasco and our poor baby ended up getting 7 stitches in the top of her left ear. She was such a trooper up until they had to inject her ear with the numbing stuff! The they had to wrap her up like a little burrito to stitch her ear up. Needless to say mom got pretty woozy watching her get stiched up, dad on the other hand was solid as a rock! Way to go dad! We will post pictures as soon as we can! It's pretty ugly!

Christmas and 2008 have come and gone

Oh my goodness, this year has really flown right by! It seems like yesterday we were ringing in 2008! Well Christmas this year was fantastic! We got everything on our Christmas lists and more! We're so lucky to have such wonderful families to celebrate the holidays with. We did our usual Krug family tradition of having salmon and lefse at Grandma and Grandpa Krug's house in Othello on Christmas Eve. If you've never had salmon and lefse...I highly recommend it. It is delicious. Anyways, afterwards we cleaned up from eating, played some games, sang Christmas carols and did our gift exchange. Afterwards we went down Sarah's grandparents' house in Kennewick and visited for a little while before heading off to Christmas Eve candlelight service at church with Sarah's parents. Christmas morning we read the story about Christ's birth from Sarah's family bible with her parents and sister and brother-in-law and opened gifts and had breakfast. After breakfast we headed back up to Connell to have lunch and gifts at Ross' parents' house. All in all it was a very wonderful couple of days celebrating Christmas. Ellie got a ton of dress up clothes! That girl is in heaven! We also got her a kitten for Christmas which she loves!

For New Year's this year we went over to our good friends Cory and Andrea Bond's house for their annual New Year's Eve bash. We had a great time being with all our friends and ringing in the new year!

We're hoping this year will be filled with lots of new and exciting things not just for us but for our friends and family.

ABOUT FREAKIN' TIME!!

Ross and I have FINALLY decided to start trying to have another baby. I have had baby fever for months now! We couldn't be more excited! We finally decided that we're ready to add another one to our little family. BUT!!! when we do finally get pregnant....we aren't telling anyone until we know what we're having!! And no, we have NO PREFERENCE as long as the baby is happy and healthy. We're not really ones to get hung up on what the sex is. Why should it really matter anyways? A baby is a blessing either way. So, unless we know we can trust you with our little secret when it does happen....you'll just have to wait until we know what color to paint the room :D

Wow! What a weekend!

Well I think the weekend was a HUGE success! I got to spend some time with my younger brother and sister and loved it! Amazingly enough also, when Ross and I went to go pick them up in Wapato we went over to "Big Grandma's" aka my great grandma's house and when we were got there, there were more cousins and aunts there for me to meet! Let's just say I was overcome with emotion and happiness that I just started bawling my eyes out! Poor great grandma thought I was sad! FAR FROM IT! Also come to find out that I am only one of 120 cousins!! That was a real mind blow. Anyways, I had a great weekend and can't wait to get to spend more time with Anayely and Cris.

Excited for the weekend!

Can't wait for the weekend! We have so much going on this week and weekend it's not even funny! Okay a little funny! It's Thanksgiving and on Friday I get to go pick up my younger brother and sister to come spend the weekend with me! I couldn't be happier. This will be the first time meeting my younger brother. I met my sister back in August when I met my birth mom. That was a pretty exciting day! Then on Saturday we're playing flag football with a bunch of our friends, having a big tail gate BBQ, and just having some good old fashioned fun! I'm a little nervous about meeting my brother though. I hope it all goes well!

Went to see Twilight....for the 3rd time

Well we went to see Twilight the movie last night. This was the 3rd time I saw it and the first time for Ross. We also went with our good friends Cory and Andrea, Ross' younger brother Randy and his girlfriend Rachael. Andrea and I of course loved it! Ross said he liked it but it was more of a chick flick. I think he secretly liked it though otherwise he would have fallen asleep during the movie or would have made obscene comments and jokes during the whole movie. And yes, he does do that ALOT.

A survey!

Since I love surveys...I thought I would do one all about me and Ross! And I stole it from Andrea!
