About Me
- Kristy and Brian
- Brian & I met online in 2000 and married in June 2003. Olivia was born April 14th, 2006, a week before due date! She has blessed us in so many ways. She had an AVM bleed in her brain at 5 mo. and had emergency surgery to remove it. She's been through 4 surgeries total, all by age 5. Oct. 6, 2006 was the date of the AVM bleed and she endured PT, OT, and Speech Therapy through Early Intervention Services until age 3. Now, only OT once/wk and an IEP through school w/sped ed, OT and Speech. Madison was born 6.29.09 and is growing up too fast, talking up a storm, potty training and enjoying time with her family and friends at daycare and church. Her cute little personality blossoms more every day. :) The girls are best friends and get along really well about 99% of the time.
Liv and Madi
sweet girls :)

olivia, olivia, olivia :(
O is enjoying summer camp so far, and has a "boyfriend" named RW :) They're good buddies and teacher says he takes care of Olivia...sweet! But sadly, she is not obeying some important rules like no standing on bus for field trips and not touching things during tour of transportation museum, so looks like we'll be giving her the ADHD meds for the majority of the summer, which we didn't plan to do. The little girl just can not sit still when necessary, without them. boo

Madi 3 yr checkup
Madi's 3 yr checkup went great! No crying-she was such a big girl. Had to get one shot-Hep A, and she didn't even flench. In 50th percentile for height and about 70th percentile for weight, coming in at 32lb 9.6oz.
I took her to Red Robin for a shake and burger for a treat afterwards! And we went to Toys R Us to buy bicycle helmets for her and Liv.
O lost 1st tooth on our 9th wedding anniversary!
Olivia's loose tooth came out when she ate an apple on the way home from summer camp on Thurs. June 21, 2012. Our 9th wedding anniversary! She didn't even realize it, so must not've hurt too bad :) Our baby is growing up! Yay Olivia!

Olivia has a loose tooth!!!!!! She came to me after dinner and said "Look!" and I wiggled it, sure enough it's loose! :) My baby is growing up :(
She's riding in the Healing Strides therapeutic riding program this summer and loving it! It's once a week. Her first session ends this month then she'll pick back up in August. Enjoying summer camp at Lakeside w/her sis. Madi is doing great, becoming her own little lady :) I think she's about to cut her last molars...she's been waking up several times a night the past few weeks. Hopefully that'll change soon!
Brian's foot is better, still has to be careful not to twist it or anything. But we are enjoying these warm days outside and actually have a 9 year anniversary coming up on June 21st! Yay!

2012 a great year
I vow that 2012 will be a great year for our family! O is in Kindergarden, Madi in Toddler Town @ daycare, and both doing well. Olivia and I are part of a Daisy Troop here in Roanoke and I've started taking the girls to a gymnastics class once a week. Our house is on the market and we hope to move into a slightly larger home by mid-summer! Dexter has been seizure free for a year and just got his semi-annual grooming done. Brian's company should be bought out (finalized in courts) this summer, too, which will be wonderful for those folks.
Olivia started w/an OT at Carilion in the Fall and sees her weekly and has an IEP at school w/OT, PT (dropping for 1st grade), and adding Speech/Language back in shortly. Her special education teacher has seem lots of progress, as has her regular teacher, whom we all adore. Olivia has opened up to her classmates and become more social and outgoing since the beginning of 2012. Her ADHD has been controlled w/a new stimulant med. we tried this school year w/little to no side effects...and we're adjusting dosage soon to help w/attention to task issues popping back up. Till next time...
