Wow!  So much going on!  Since the last post, Joy had Bronchitis. At that Dr. visit, for the first time since coming home, Joy was "officially" diagnosed with Asthma.  She was pretty sick when we went to the Doctor and she received a breathing treatment at the Dr. office.

She is now using an inhaler regularly just to keep the asthma under control and she is doing much better.



Brian and Noah finished up football season with a bang!  Both of their teams grew so much over the course of the season and they both learned so much and had a really great time!  We all really enjoyed the season.  They both had great coaches.








We are seeing more and more that Joy is understanding so much of what we are saying.  Joy loves to empty the cabinet of plastic containers and this particular day I asked her to clean up the mess and she turned around and started picking up and putting away the containers back in the cabinet!  My jaw dropped and I turned and saw that Noah was witnessing this moment also and his jaw dropped also! 




Field Trip to Fort Toulouse!  Joy and I went to Ft. Toulouse with Noah and had a great time. 

Once we got home, we received news that Brian had broken his nose during P.E. at school!  Brian had surgery on his nose and is doing very well and healing nicely!




What a JOY she is! She is a beautiful girl! She wears a LOT of pink! :)

We decorated for Christmas today!  The picture above is Joy hanging her first Christmas ornament ever! We bought Joy her very own Christmas ornament in China and she hung it today on the tree. We were very excited to have Joy to decorate for Christmas with us for her first time, but for the most part, she was unhappy and throwing fits, as shown in the pic below.
We are so excited to have Joy home this year for Thanksgiving and Christmas and to celebrate the birth of our Savior with our new daughter!

  1. Love the post Angie! We will be praying for Joy's asthma for certain. I had to chuckle at Joy's tantrums during the Christmas decorating b/c we were dealing with the EXACT same thing yesterday as we decorated here. Gideon did like all the pretty lights however. Blessings!
