Goodbye Gustav!

So much for not wanting to put up the hurricane shutters. We were under a mandatory evacuation and had to leave on Sunday. We were supposed to stay until tomorrow. We did have a great time before the panic of the hurricane hit. Kylie did really good and having my grandmother and mom both there was a huge help! Lee and I were able to visit with some of our friends that were also down at the coast and we even got to make our annual appearance at the FloraBama. We went to the Weaver's house to watch the ballgames and had such a great time. Kylie went to her first restaurant (Lulu's) and she did great...sleep the whole time. I was shocked :). All in all it was a great trip. We hit some rough traffic on the way back home. Interstate 65 was bumper to bumper as everyone was leaving Mobile and the roads were flooded with evacuees from Louisiana. We decided to go to the river house in Camden Sunday night to avoid having to sit on I-65 to come to Selma. Now we are home and I am so glad to have Lee here with me today and tomorrow. Below are some pics of our trip!

Beach Bound

Well Kylie and I are heading to the beach house today with MomaBrown and PapaFred (my grandparents). Lee will join us on Friday and my parents are supposed to come on Saturday. Of course all of the travel arrangements are in the air since Gustav is headed straight for the Gulf of Mexico! Ugh. Hopefully we will have fun and be able to stay until next Wednesday as originally planned. I do not want to spend the weekend putting up the hurricane shutters.

In other news, yesterday Lee and I visited the daycare that Kylie will attend. It is so cute and the ladies in the nursery were great! There are only 5 babies and Kylie is by far the youngest (the other babies were around 6 months). The ladies were so excited to be getting a tiny baby to hold and love on. She will only go to daycare in the mornings and we are still looking for a sitter for a few afternoons a week when I am in Montgomery for work. I am still working part-time until we can get that figured out and until Kylie gets over the plague (I mean colic). The Nutramigen has helped but she still gets really fussy and there are times where she is hard to console but it is getting better. We will have good days and bad days now instead of the constant crying everyday. We are still praying that things will improve very soon and before the 3 month mark that everyone tells me I just have to wait for. Today I am just hoping for a good car ride!!

I will be making the blog private to invited readers only when we return next week so if you read this and want to continue reading please let me know so I can add you to the "approved" readers.

Hope everyone has a good long weekend!

Happy Baby Pictures!

So we are slowly getting more happy baby awake time each and everyday. We are leaving for the beach on Wednesday and hope that this continues while we are on our trip so we can all have a good time. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Happy Birthday Paw-Paw!

So Saturday was Paw-Paw's (Lee's dad) birthday. We loaded up and went to Tuscaloosa Saturday morning to cook-out and celebrate. Amanda, Jerry, Olivia, Christian, Daniel, and Vica came from Bham too. We had a great time at Paw-Paw and Honey's house. Kylie did great! No extreme colic episodes or anything. It was a very good day! Happy Birthday Paw-Paw! (** Note: These photos are courtesy of Daniel and Vica. I let them take some pictures with my camera. We had a bunch more but they got deleted somehow :) haha)

Big Sister

So Dolly has exceeded our expectations as a big sister. She has done so well with Kylie. I figured she would go crazy when she heard Kylie cry, but since she (like us) hears it so much she doesn't even pay any attention. The bark collar has helped tremendously too :). She will run over and check on her but that is about it. I cannot wait until Kylie gets big enough to start crawling after Dolly.

Privacy Please

So after much thought I have decided to make our blog private. So for those of you that do read this, please comment with your email address or email it to me (keacalame@yahoo.com) so that I can add you to the list of approved readers. This way the whole internet world will not know every detail of our lives. haha. Not that they would be that interested, but as we post more and more pics of Kylie we just thought this would be a good idea. So send me your email address and I will you be sure to add you!!
