I was not around when this picture was taken. I'm not sure but it looks like he is offering Ciara a beer!

Ciara is doing very well and probably weighing in around 11-12 lbs! She is getting very chubby and I love it! She continues to have therapy every week and I try to do it with her everyday. She is now rolling up onto her right side! I haven't been able to catch her with the camera, but I will keep trying.

This past weekend Corey had some of his friends over from work for a cookout. We also invited my mom and dad, Corey's brother Greg and his wife Kristy, and of course our beautiful nephew Haden. We had a good time. I was not walking too well as I slipped a disc in my lumbar region on Friday night. Fortunately my chiropractor saw me on Friday night at 9 p.m. and worked on my back until 11p.m. It is feeling much better now and it continues to get better everyday. Aaliyah really enjoyed having her little friends over and they had a great time in our little pool.

In the past couple of weeks we celebrated my birthday and also my dad's. We had mountain pies on my dad's birthday with the newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Eddy aka Lief and Kaylan. It was so nice to see them and spend some time with them after their honeymoon. I stole my mom's pictures of the wedding and have posted some of my favorites.

Two weekends ago we went up to Kalumet campground near Clarion for the annual Barnoff family camp out. I of course only took like one picture (some day I am going to regret my forgetfulness), but we had a great time. Aaliyah of course had a ball being outside 24/7 and having her cousins to play with. It was also nice to see my Grandma get out and enjoy some fresh air. Ciara seemed to have a good time as well and slept wonderfully. I really do believe the fresh air helps them sleep better.

This past Sunday I took Ciara to church for the first time since she was born. She did really well and we got such a warm welcome. Aaliyah spent most of the time down in the nursery which is ok with me because I can pay attention to the sermon! After we came home from church Aaliyah and I took a 3 hour nap and Corey watched Ciara. When we got up from our nap Ciara was extremely fussy and she would get so upset she would start to cough. So I said to Corey, if she got a cold on the first time I took her to church I am going to be so mad at myself. Luckily the fussiness was not from a cold but from her teething. She is drooling constantly and chewing on her fingers. She will also take her tongue and rub it on her gums. She gets really fussy every evening until about 9-9:30 and then she seems to calm down for bedtime. Corey and I feel so bad for her and wish we could do something to help. It's just one of those things she has to battle herself. She's strong, but cranky!

Please continue to pray for Ciara's well being and praise GOD for his blessings upon her so far. GOD is good!!
