Brinlee is a really good baby. She loves to follow MaCady around the house and run around in her walker in the kitchen. She knows how to pull herself up on all the furniture and she can make a circle around the living room going from couch to couch and then to the entertainment center. She has 5 teeth and oh she knows how to use them. I don't know how much longer i can nurse this baby, she bit me the first time i nursed her in the hospital. I am trying to make the one year mark which is really close, but i swear somedays i am going to loose my mind, or something else! She is becoming a daddy's girl now that doug is spending more time with her while i go to work in the afternoons. He loves it. He always told me that this one was going to be a daddy's girl. We just love being parents to our little girls.

Well, it happened, Doug got laid off from work. We were kind of expecting it to happen, but we were told it would only be until the beginning of the new year. When he got told he was being laid off they told him they would give him a call back in APRIL!!! Yikes. That's like 6 months of no pay checks, plus Christmas, two little girl birthdays, and our anniversary. So, i have been working at Sanders and at the Soda Creek Lodge trying to help out a little. We have been very blessed with many different little miracles that seem to pop up when we need them the most. We were able to refinance Doug's car, we found out we had insurance on our house that will pay our house payments for us for 6 months, and we have awesome families that are behind us all the way with lots of love and support. We are definitely going to make it and be just fine. Hope everyone else is doing fine.
