THE LONG FAMILY: Bittersweet!

Bittersweet!

Since it has been awhile since I have posted anything I thought I would add a few pictures of the girls lately. If it wasn't for Ataya I probably wouldn't even have these. Our lives seem so busy and before I know it another week or month has gone by. Every other day Ataya will say "mom take a picture of me". (She always thinks she is doing something cute and I need to get a picture of her.) Anyways, that is why most my pictures are of her!
A few weeks ago TaiLee started crawling all over the place, this week she could care less about crawling, she just wants to get some where to pull herself up and then has the guts to just let go. She really wants to walk and I know she will be doing it in no time. I don't know why such accomplishments can be so sad too. I cannot believe that my baby is growing up so fast!

In 2003 I moved home for a summetime job and met Andy who worked for the same company. After a few weeks we went on our first date and I guess the rest is history. In August of 2004 we were married!!! I never thought that I would find someone to fill the big shoes of my own dad but turned out that moving back to Vernal was a blessing in dusguise. I married such an amazing husband. He has so many qualities that I have always wanted in a husband but most importantly, we always have so much fun together!

On March 17, 2006 (St.Patrick's Day) we had our first miracle, Ataya Brooks. Her first few months she fought hard to stay in this world. At five weeks old she went through heart surgery to repair a coarctation of her Aorta. The doctors and nurses would always comment on how feisty she was which contributed to a complete recovery. Ataya has grown so much, she amazes us everyday. She is so funny, she makes all of us laugh around the clock! She has also turned in to the best big sister. She helps with everything and starts everday with a big hug and kiss for her baby sister! Although she is usually still half asleep, it is so cute!! We are so thankful for modern medicine and all of the girls who have Turners Syndrome to give us the knowledge that we have and the opportunity to raise such an amazing daughter!

So it turned out that I not only married an amazing husband he is an even more amazing father, so...... (although by total accident) we went on the have another little girl. In June of 2008 we had our second miracle, TaiLee Drew. She was ready to come in to this world. If we would have blinked we could have missed her birth, she came so fast! She is such a good baby. The only time she gets mad is if someone is late for her feeding time. She has been so much fun. No one can make her laugh like her big sister, we love hearing the huge belly laughs when Tay and Tai play together. They have both got their daddy wrapped around their little finger. They can get anything out of him. Our girls are such a joy, we can't imagine life without them!
