Addison Update

Well it has been a few days since Addison's surgery to remove her adenoids and have tubes put in.

The first couple of days she was terribly fussy but was able to sleep all night. Yesterday, however, she turned a corner and has been really happy. She has been very playful and energetic. She has made a 180 degree turn. Addi is even making some sounds that she had not made before. She doesn't fuss when we use her earplugs during bath. Overall she seems very happy and content now.

Thanks again for all those who called, txted, facebooked, etc. We do appreciate the support and prayers from each of you.

An Evan Funny

Evan runs into the living room towards the couch where Lindsay is sitting. In mid-run Evan lets out three big toots.

Lindsay and I start laughing really hard. So Lindsay asks, "Evan did you toot?" He replies, "No." So Lindsay asks again, "Evan are you sure you didn't toot?" Evan says, "No". Lindsay then asks, "Well if you didn't toot, what was that?" Evan replies, "It was sounds!"

Christmas With The Burkes

The Burke's had a great Christmas.  It went by really fast, but it was really a great time and truly a blessing.

The Burke side came in on the 23rd.  We had a great time. We had non traditional food.  Lindsay made this super good spinach and artichoke dip.  Evan got some Diego toys and a bubble maker.  He played with the bubble maker all day long.  Aunt Tessa built both Addison and Evan bears from Build A Bear Workshop.

On Christmas Eve we had our Christmas Eve service at FBC Greenville.  We had an awesome crowd, some where around 350 people were there with there families.  It was a special service.

Lindsay's parents came in for the Christmas Eve service and stayed through Christmas day.  Evan got a ton from Santa. Here are some pics of his play Safari Tent and Basketball        Goal.  It is lots of fun to shoot hoops with your son, :).

Addison got a painting for her room.  A bouncie swing for the doorway for when she gets older.  And lots of girlie clothes. She got a baby doll and a light up toy.  Yesterday Addison was laying on the chair and Evan went and got both toys to bring to her so she would have something to play with.  He is a good big brother and helper.

We hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and wish you many blessings in 2009.  Catch up with us when you can!

Addison Update

Addison went to the Dr. yesterday.  Her bilireuben level was down to 11!  Yippie.

She is doing well.  She is waking up on her own to eat and is eating so much better.  She is still on the bili blanket for a little while longer but hopefully we can give it back soon.

Evan is doing so well with her.  He just took a toy and put it in her bassinet so she could have something to play with.  He is growing all the time and his personality blossoms more everyday.  His favorite thing to say these days is "Whats dis". Then we will tell him whatever it is and he will say, "Oh!"  Lindsay bought him a sweater vest the other day.  When we picked him up at daycare she showed it to him and said , "Evan do you like the sweater Mommy bought you?"  He replied, "I don't like it, too little; too little."

Lindsay is doing great and feels good.  Thanks to everyone who said a prayer for Addi.

Growing Family

This Blog will be for family and friends to catch up with us as our lives continue down the warpspeed path just like yours.  Soon I will have a family picture up, but I wanted to get this started.  We will love to keep everyone up to date on happenings around our household and with our new addition Addison Leigh.  Here are the most recent pictures of Evan and Addison.

Look forward to more blogs from the Burkes
