long update

Hello everyone...
Sorry for update sooner but it been busy and a mess around here....we been here about a month now and a lot has happened with our little toddlers..

Courtney has been in the PICU twice for bleeding from her trach...she sees a special doctor this week so we can be taking the trach out for good ethier this week or next.....such a great birthday present for her...they think the bleeding is an infection or her trachea just not doing well with the trach.....She has also started to eat table food, little bits here and there

Crystal has gotten her first major owie since being here...she fell while playing on the crub while I was taking Courtney out of the car and scraped uped her forehead...no stiches this time but I am sure she will since she loves to play outside...she has a big belly for a little toddler too

We also have had problems with nursing down here....we dont have any....and the ones we did have called Child Protection Sevrives on us....so Grandma Hitchcock flew down to help get the house unpacked and cleaned so they dont take the kids from us.....they are suppose to come back out today to look at the house again.....they said the house was unsafe because of boxes but we only got them a week before....it been crazy

The unborn Hamilton has been doing good....has had me in the ER twice since we been here...I havent gotten the gender ultrasound yet...hopefully in the next few weeks....the baby been kicking and moving alot

The twins turn two tomo....it already been two years since they came in to this world to soon....and they dont let that slow them down...I will do birthday updates tomo and hopefully picture updates with in the week

Day 1 of move

We left our first place as a family about 6am....and drove to about 420pm.......We drove through Iowa into Missouri and than into Kansas...we only drove part of Missouri.

It been a good day, once we got out and ran around at a few gas stations and took a nap and ate lunch everyone was happy as a toddler can be in the car all day long.

I dont like the wal-mart in this town, it dosent have floaties for the kids or life jackets for sale...it is really werid, apparently that truck hasnt come in....how can you not sell life jackets all year long..

We all went swimming....it was Courtneys first swimming and she didnt do to bad....Crystal had fun till she dunked herself under the water

Both are sound asleep...one in a crib and one in the playpen....time for mommy and daddy to eat dinner...

Pictures will be up when we get to Texas

pic update

A brand new month

There is alot going on in the Hamilton house......

Crystal Ann: She has learned to climb on the chairs at the table, she can even climb up into the booster seats, she has been make more sounds...she can say the b sound now, she can color with crayons now and make pretty pictures

Courtney Jo: She has normal trachs now....no more cuffed trachs, she is all the way off the vent, she pulled herself up to standing the other day by herself, she has been on the move more lately, loves to talk, she also can color with crayons now too

Also for the big news......there will be a new baby Hamilton coming this Aug.....the twins will be big sisters

Daddy is doing good at Fort Bliss, we are still trying to get a house so we can go be with him

Pictures will come when the other computer starts working better to upload them

sickness

From about Thursday to Monday we had two sick little girls.....they picked a viral bug somewhere or on of the nurses brought it in.....it wasnt fun....now that phase is done we are dealing with teething..

Crystal has become very good at saying mommy, she even calls Courtney that....we are working on more words but she is not interested in it at all....she is cutting in two bottom teeth and they are killing her, not a happy camper at all

Courtney has become my little explorer, she goes everywhere.....doing great with her kneeling, now got to work on standing.....she has been saying daddy more, I think she misses him....

Daddy will be in Texas by the weekend....not sure how long it will be till we follow him down there....the warm weather will be a change
