8 weeks (jan 22-jan 29th)

This picture was taken late in the week because we were traveling for the funeral.

Addie was full of smiles starting this week. They started to disappear as she got sick.



Izzy loves taking baths in the sink at Gamma and PopPop's.

I told you how Izzy is over mommy taking pictures. This is the type of response I get now when I say, "Izzy, look at mommy and smile."

 

Well, it's been another emotional week with the Brown's. I thought 2012 would be better, but those cards haven't been dealt yet. Monday Mark went home because his dad had fluid around his heart. He was in A-fib and they were going to do a cardioversion. They were concerned that after they did the procedure that he may have to be on a ventilator. Bill came through the procedure with flying colors. A few hours later Trish was calling to let Mark know his dad had passed. I just don't understand. The visitation was on Thursday and the funeral was on Friday. Bill finally looked at peace.

Sickness is going around the Brown household. Izzy has a horrible runny nose and cough and has had a 101.4 fever. She started getting better at the end of the week. Addie is starting to get it at the end of this week. I hate it when little ones get sick. She has a temp of 99.4 and isn't eating well. I just pray we are at the worse of it today. It just breaks my heart to see her sick. She's already been through so much already. We still are only on 3/4 formula. February 9th won't come soon enough.

Addie has been really smily starting this week and cooing like crazy. She definitely brightened people's spirits this week.

Izzy is such a little girl. She is already giving me the "What mommy?" when I give her the look of death for doing something wrong. I have my hands full. She is such  a good little sister though.

Hopefully week nine will be better.

We love you Bill. You will be missed.
