Sometimes being a mom pulls at my heart so bad it hurts. Jayda had her first set of immunizations yesterday and it was tramatizing. Jayda has probably forgotten about it already but I'll never forget. That was the first time she ever REALLY cried and there I am being the meanie holding her down while she gets poked THREE TIMES! Yeah, I cried. Daddy had a really hard time with it too. I know that every parent goes through it and I'm sure it's hard for everybody but I guess it ran a bit deeper for me. I suppose that was my first SMALL taste of what my parents/Steves parents went through with us for years. We were in pain, they could see us hurting yet they couldn't do a damn thing to help take the pain away. I don't know how they did it. I guess that is what being parent who loves your children is all about.
Anyhow, enough with the srious stuff. We've been pretty busy - as usual. In the past couple weeks we had a visit from Grandma Jo and Grandpa Syd It was really nice to see them again already. We also went to a ball-game - Cracker Cats won!!!! And last weekend we went camping. The only thing I'll say about camping is next time before we leave the house a PLAN must be in place. That way we don't spend 3/4 of our time driving around in a scorching hot van. The trip didn't exactly go as expected but it was still fun. Jayda had her first dip in a lake which went pretty good and I got to watch Steve fall out of a canoe which was pretty funny. Oh, and I remembered to put sunscreen on!!!! I can't quite say the same for Steve.....:)
So Jayda's new favorite thing is fudgsicles. I don't know who ever would have givin her some........STEVE......I must admitt though, it is pretty cute!!
Oh by the yesterday Jayda weighed in at 10pounds 1ounce and is 23 and 3/4 of an inch long!! The health nurse said she is doing really well.
Well I guess I better end my novel now, hope you enjoyed the update,
Katy

Owie Poor Jayda... and mommy and daddy too :( But hey a few minutes pain is worth the protection those shots will provide! I LOVE the new pics :) Shes gets prettier all the time :) LOL at the fugdsiciles.... smart girl to pick something thats chocolate :) Love and hugs to you all :)
Fudgsicles... Mmmm... What else are dads for? Just wait until Jayda starts crawling and figures out where the fugsicles are kept. If she takes a lesson from her cousin (or her uncle for that matter), she'll park herself in front of the fridge and cry until you give her one...
