Well I have been itching to start taking photos of my kids and to really try to improve at photography.  I have all these fun lenses and havnt really put them to good use.  So I thought I would give it a shot today.  And I quickly realised why I havnt been trying to take more pics of my kids.  As soon as they see the camera they come running for it and when I wont let them touch the camera they break out into tears.  So away goes the camera.  Doesnt help that Im so new at and still trying to figure out what f-stop or shutter speed would be best to use.  Maybe I should be starting w/ inanimate objects!  Below is the one shot I did get of Keira before the big melt down.

In December Keira and Conor had their 18 mo. assessment and did very well.  Im so thankful for the Infant Development program at the Queen Alexandra.  It gives me so much comfort having their support and advice.  Im sure that my kids are one of their easier cases.  They were mainly referred to the program b/c of the pregnancy, early birth and because the effect that Cadence’s passing could have on Keira. 

Christmas was good.  My parents came out for a week.  We had a roast for Christmas Eve dinner and my parents and I went to the Christmas Eve service at our Church.  Christmas morning we opened stockings then waited while the kids napped (one after the other of course).  Shauns parents joined us for opening gifts under the tree.   Then off to their house for dinner. 

Unfortunatly on the 27th Keira had a fever and ended up in hospital the next day.  She was admitted for the night (what a long night that was, as she would not let me lay her down in the hospital crib so I had to hold her the whole night).  She had strep throat and possibly had a febral seisure.  Her lips at one point turned blue and eyes were back in her head, at this point we took her to the hospital.  She was only in for one night.  They had gotten her fever down but her heart rate remained high.  But she recovered quickly and Conor never got sick.

Ever since they have been healthy.  Its so fun to watch them interact.  Keira loves her dolls and Conor loves anything that makes a racket.  They both are into everything, despite me constantly pulling them away from things they shouldnt be around (on the kitchen table, in the bathroom sink).  It doesnt take them long to get somwhere they shouldnt be. 

Well off to bed I go.  Cant handle staying up past 9!  Below are a couple of shots taken at Christmas.
