Are we pathetic or what? (Don't answer that). I guess I should start this return to blogging with my dearest apologies for our 6 month plus hiatus from the blogging world. Three words for you- back to work! New Years resolution- blog at least once a month. I know I will look back and be glad I did (especially since the baby book isn't exactly kept current). We are good though. Busy, but good.

For about two months now Mike and I have been working round the clock on this house. As most of you know,we are putting it on the market and renting for awhile. Well, today is D-day. The house is clean (pretty spotless actually). Eden's asleep. Mike's out working. I feel useless. I think I have forgotten how to relax. The house work really went full swing when we painted the outside (with A LOT

We can sing now too! Sorry this is a little long- really more for the grandparents, as they'll tolerate the length (and Lily- Eden's #1 fan of her original twinkle post). We're still working on the house a lot and trying to get it on the market in the next 2 weeks! Hopefully this long weekend will help out. Happy 4th of July to you all- enjoy the weekend!

I just got to hear this coming form the bathroom. That's right- you guessed it, she did it! We are on the road to potty training. For about a week now she's been getting the two's in there, and I think we're going to try for the one's this week! Too much information for you all?

As most of you know Mike and I really struggle with the whole cry it out method. Eden hasn't been a great sleeper from day 1- not sure when she'll be. But if this is the biggest challenge she presents us in her life we'll make it through. She has slept with us so that we could all get the sleep we need. It works for us. In fact we love it. There's nothing like waking up and seeing your shining 2

Happy Easter to all! Eden had a good Easter- a brisk 59 degrees so we didn't spend a lot of time outside but it was good all the same. We started off with giving Eden her basket in our bed, as we were too lazy to get up. After that we went to church in our Easter best. I made Eden's Easter dress this year and that was fun. It's fun to make it and see her in it. After church we went to breakfast/

Today I had the pleasure of taking Eden to her first movie theatre experience. It started with her whining and fussing as I took her out of the car because I wouldn't let her take her book in with her. I was wondering what had gotten into me that I had decided to take my barely 2 year old to a 1 and a half hour long movie. And then it hit her. We walked into the theater and she was in awe. MOVIE

I took a year off from the blog-o-sphere to do a little professional development, which was to involve long hours with extremely boring books that most people would put to better use as, say, a doorstop or stepstool. I failed to develop much professionally, although I did develop a new appreciation for 60 hour workweeks and an odd addiction to Naked Juice Protein Zone. That's right, out of the

Eden turns 2 in a week, and we are busy planning her party. She decided that pink monkey would be the theme. Exciting stuff. So that being said- that is what we are doing this week. Cooking, cutting out monkeys and all sorts of fun stuff.

I somehow coaxed Angela into taking pictures for us again. I really can't settle for anything else now that I have had her take them in the past. It's kind-of like buying really nice sheets- once you've used them, you can't go back to the cheap ones. That sounds bad, I am comparing her to sheets and that's not what I mean- she's more like a fine wine. Maybe I should use a different analogy?!?

It's been so long since we've posted anything that I don't even know where to start. I guess that the last real post was Halloween! I had to go back to look, that's pretty sad. So- I guess from there you go all the way back to Thanksgiving, feels like that was a long time ago as well. Unfortunately our Thanksgiving was one of sadness.

A few weeks ago we took Eden to the pumpkin patch to pick out her pumpkin. It was a lot of fun and we even got to go on a hay ride. Eden loved running around and looking at all of the pumpkins and ducks.Molly came up with the idea to have Eden be Wonder Woman for Halloween, so I attempted making her a costume. It's a little rough, but she'll never know! And if your wondering how we get her to

Molly and Chach got a new 2008 Subaru Outback about 3 weeks ago. Last night a couple 17 year-olds (the one driving didn't have a drivers licence) decided that it belonged up on top of their rock wall and in their front yard. Now that's unfortunate luck! The basketball in this picture shows where the front of the car was when Molly parked it.

Eden has been sick with a fever since Sunday night, and honestly not the most joyful Child to be around. Yesterday after telling Mike and I "no" for EVERYTHING Mike told her she was "driving us nuts" and she looked at him and said very clearly, "nuts". Then when I told her it was time to go to bed she walked to our bedroom repating, " mess, mess, mess". She is a mess indeed.So to prove to us that

Grandpa came in on Thursday and we have had a great time! We started out with a trip to the zoo. Mike and I got a zoo pass a few weeks ago ($75 a year- what a deal!). Eden LOVES the zoo. Her favorite is feeding the goats- that was until this past trip when a goat nibbled her finger. We also went to the park a few times. Another favorite. I love the head tilt! She was going down a pretty big slide

Over Labor day weekend we had some friends over and I never got around to posting pictures. Blakely was born the same day as Eden. They had a lot of fun and the girls actually played together so well that we could all sit and talk- a very enjoyable evening. Not sure what this face is- I will push you rather you like it or not!

I know that many of you are waiting to hear the outcome of Molly and Chach's IVF. Unfortunately they found out this afternoon that the blood test was negative. They don't know a whole lot more at the time. The nurse said that they could try again in November with the 6 eggs that were left and that they can schedule an appointment with the Dr. to discuss things further. They are both obviously

The Dr's called this morning to say that they have 1 egg that they rate as excellent, 2 excellent/good, and 5 good. This is good news. They think that they will implant them on Monday. Molly is in a lot of pain, as she had to go off of her pain medicine for her endomitriosis. Please continue to pray for her pain level and the eggs! Thanks and we'll keep updating daily.

So sorry for the delay in posting. For the past few weeks Molly has been taking a lot of different medicines. First she had to take a drug to start her period. She then started taking some different hormones to produce a lot of eggs. These consisted of at least two shots in her belly, morning and night. The side effect of those are a lot of headaches and pelvic pain (due to her ovaries being

Eden really loves to cook with us. This was a few weeks ago, but I just had to post these pictures. As far as things with Molly and Chach- They went in yesterday for their two hour class. Molly will go in tomorrow to have blood work drawn and they will move on from there. The doctors gave them pretty good odds (50% & a 50% chance of twins, which they are fine with). Thank you all for your sweet

The second part of our trip was spent in Denver with Mike's family. We got to hang out with cousin Lily and that's always fun. Mike's aunt, cousin and grandma came over to bring lunch and Eden slept the day away. I finally woke her up after 3 and a half hours. We tried to get a "reunion" pic of the three kids- it didn't work quite as well this time. Eden wasn't sure why Lily needed her

We've been a busy little Lair family! The first of this month Eden and I made our way out to Colorado, nothing like family and the Colorado mountains. We had a great time catching up with everyone. On Saturday Mom through a "come and meet Eden" party. It was a great way to get to see a lot of people we hadn't seen in awhile. Mom and I also got to make a trip to Chataqua Park for breakfast- an old

Once again there's been a huge delay in blog posts- I believe it's due to the warm weather. Eden and I have been playing outside a lot and haven't felt much like being inside at the computer. For about a week and a half I was swamped with embroidery jobs for graduation. It was great for our budget, but not a lot of fun for Eden. We've made up for it with lots of fun in our "pool". So all of that

We noticed purple dots on EdenWe were sent to Children's hospital because of Eden's LOW platelet countWe had no idea if Eden had Leukemia or ITPWe cried out to all of you for your prayersWe are so thankful to say that today Eden is ITP free! I know that we had a blog for a long time that was pretty much only filled with Eden's ongoing health saga and then we dropped it. I know that most of you

Every Thursday Eden and I get to go to The Little Gym (because of a generous birthday gift from Charlie and Luke). Eden LOVES it. Today Daddy was able to join us and so I was able to snap some pictures. One of her favorites is putting things away, Mike and I are hoping this will continue as she gets older. She's definitely taking it all in right now. It seems like whenever you show her something

We all know that a toddlers favorite thing to say is I can do it myself- and if Eden could talk that is exactly what she'd say. Needless to say a bath was in order after lunch today.

Eden, Mike and I made a trip to the park last night where Eden made lots of new discoveries. First up were dandelions- something that takes us all back to our childhood! As any intelligent one year old knows- they all go straight in the mouth, mmm... tasty!We also enjoyed some fruit smoothie. When allergy season hits (and it's here in full bloom)I am always looking for something to drink that

So I decided that I was not going to have our moms out and let them see that it was spring and we hadn't raked our leaves AGAIN! So Eden and I ventured outside to rake. Molly played with her while I bagged them up. Eden definitely had a great time and only a small amount of dirt was consumed. So here you are moms- no leaves to rake this year (we can come up with other jobs for you if you want)

She's officially ONE! I am really having a hard time wrapping my mind around that. In a lot of ways it seems like she's always been a part of our lives and in someways this past year has come and gone too quickly. Mike and I were sitting there last night talking about how crazy it is that this year has come and gone, and how in some ways it's sad because she won't be that little again, but in so

Man, once this inertia thing grabs hold of you it's hard to get moving again--you'd think there was a law of physics about it or something. In reality, we just wanted to boil down our readership from an unmanageable 8 or 9 people to the ever-faithful 1 or 2 (3, if I count myself. I'd say 4 counting Sarah, but she's included in the 1 or 2). We're way behind on pics of Eden; for all you know,

...and surgery #3 is scheduled for tomorrow. This one's an easy one, though--just a quick but deep scrubbing of her insides to make sure there's no bacteria baddies still hanging out in their old hideouts. It sounds absolutely wretched (when's the last time you've had the bits and pieces inside your skin scrubbed down?), but compared to what she's already been through, this one's like taking

Molly is out of surgery and resting once again. They found that the infection ran the whole length of the incision. They had to go ahead and leave the wound open to clear everything out. The nurses will come in and pack it every 4 hours. She seems okay at the moment. We will keep you updated as things change.

Just wanted to update everyone on Molly. She is still in the hospital and is actually going in to surgery once again. The doctor has found that her incision isn't healing like it needs to, so he has to go in again and see what the problem is. They said that they won't know anything until they get in there again. Molly did get the tube that was going into her stomach out yesterday or the day

I need to post something to update everyone on Molly, although I'd much rather be posting Christmas pictures and telling everyone that all is well here on N Pierce. For those of you who are wondering what I am talking about, let me fill you in. On Tuesday morning Chach woke up to a very sick wife. She was throwing up constantly and in a lot of pain. They went into the hospital at 4 in the morning

We're off in just a few hours to Colorado, otherwise known as Antarctica--this week, at least. Two feet or more of snow with freezing temps for the next several days means Eden's first Christmas will be a white one. And we couldn't be happier.Merry Christmas, everyone, and may Santa bring you all your heart's desires. Unless it's a pony, in which case you had better have been very, very,

We knew it was coming, that time when we would finally pause, look on the last 10 months, and have the realization dawn on us:We seriously messed that one up.A relatively consistent undercurrent has been running through these posts from day one--our little girl isn't a big fan of sleepytime. We tried to ignore it, we tried to pretend it would fix itself, but we can no longer escape the fact that

So Sarah and Eden went to Phoenix for a week to visit the family Robertson and when they came back I had a different daughter. Oh, she looked similar to the old Eden, except maybe with a little more hair and an extra inch of height and ounce of weight, but this girl was doing things I had never seen before. All of a sudden, Eden was not just crawling, but crawling well. She wasn't happy to

So I've been suffering through a bit of writer's block the last few weeks. Not that there hasn't been anything to write about--believe me, epic sagas, operatic melodramas, and slapstick farces have occured since I wrote last (the slapstick was mainly me, and mainly accidental). I've just had a hard time taking those events and putting them down in anything vaguely resembling a coherent

Eden, Nan and I got to go to Tennessee this past weekend to meet Eden's Me-Maw. We have been wanting to get out there for a long time, but were unable because of her ITP. Eden lit up when she saw Me-Maw, it was pretty cool to see.Me-Maw lit up, too: "I didn't know what grand meant until I met Eden," she said after meeting Eden for the 1st time.She also got to meet her cousins- Jenny and Jasmine..

There are several firsts every parent looks forward to with their new child: the kid's first smile, the first time they roll over, the first time they flunk their SAT exam (wait, that's much later). The next time, though, someone says they can't wait until their kid's first cold, punch them in the face for me.Eden's been a sad, sad little girl for three or four days now, and while she's finally

Scary how cute she is, that is.I can't believe I just said something that cheesy.Anywho, Tuesday was Eden's first Halloween, and boy did she love it. Or maybe not; it was kinda hard to tell one emotion from another once she was on the sugar high from her 15th York peppermint pattie. I kid, I kid! They were actually Reeses peanut butter cups. We got her all bundled up in her frogsuit (sorry,

Okay, so they lost. Eden watched the game with Daddy though and showed her support with her one-of-a-kind tshirt, courtesy of Auntie, (for more wonderfully hand crafted items visit www.5eggs.etsy.com, custom items also available). Oh, and by the way, yes, we do know it's too small- we're working on the crawling thing and hoping she'll work some of that weight off, until then... Oh well.

Here's a quick photo montage of all the action last Tuesday. And I mean quick; I didn't even take the time to edit out my fat pics or the shots of us looking about as bad as we feel--I just threw 'em all in the slideshow, for better or worse. And no, we didn't do massive amounts of sleeping pills just before the hospital. We actually were as tired as we looked, mainly because

...the mice sit around all weekend in front of the TV, extremely bored and completely lacking in ambition, self-discipline, or personal hygene. Or mouse, I should say, since both Sarah and Eden flew out in Colorado since Friday--much like the pic above, but in a plane instead of a swing--leaving me here all by my lonesome. Their trip came about so suddenly (web-fare email alert on Wednesday!

I just realized that I forgot to post the results of last week's clinic visit, which proves that good news does indeed travel slowly (at least from my brain to the keyboard). That's right, after four and a half months, Eden's ITP saga might actually be coming to a close. We met with the hemotologist last Monday, who said that even though he is not normally an optimistic person (glad he didn't

For those of you that don't know, my sister has been pregnant for something like 10 months now, although reliable sources have informed me that to her it's felt something like 50 years. I should say had been pregnant, because last night she had Lily Ann Swackhamer after labor roughly the same length as the pregnancy. Lily turned out to be the epitome of her namesake--tall and skinny, with a

So it's 4 in the morning and here I am, fulfilling a life-long dream of late-night blogging. Just kidding--I'm very, very unfortunately not the only person in the family awake (if I can be called that) at this moment.

Grandma Lair came in for a few days of G-ma lovin' for Eden. We felt bad--she was the home stretch on our month of non-stop family action and we were wiped. So it was a low-key visit, which was fine with Grandma because, as she informed us, she wasn't here to see us anyway--she just came for the munchkin. Okay, so she didn't quite phrase it like that. Or rather, she said it exactly like that

That panting you may hear in the background is Sarah, Eden and I (and if it's not us, then I don't really want to know what's going on at your house). Why the hard breathing? We just had the Family Robertson in from Phoenix for five days--Stephanie (Sarah's best friend from high school), Gary, Charlie, and Luke. Wow, do those kids have some energy. Not that it wasn't fun--we had a blast

We're back, and with nifty new gear, too. Turns out, it only took about a week without a camera for us to crack and pick up a new one. And just in time, too. It would've been a real shame if we didn't photographically document the smallest detail of Eden's newest adventure--the Adventure of Rice Cereal and Bananas.Yes, as hard to believe as it is, Eden is already foraying into the new world of

We searched, we hoped, we prayed, we searched again, we had Molly and Chach search, we pulled our hair out in frustration, we searched one last time (just, you know, in case), and we finally gave up.It's official: the camera is gone.How it vanished we don't know (we were looking at it in the car near the end of the drive home, for pete's sake), but all of the lovely shots of Eden, Sarah, Molly,

So here's the deal. We went to Florida. Had a wonderful time. Took lots of great pictures. Drove back home to Arkansas. Lost the camera. Now we are at a lost as to what we can even post. We are on a mad hunt for the lost camera and will keep you all posted. As far as Eden's platelets... all she needed was a little trip to the beach, they're up this week to 425,000!! Hopefully she'll keep them

Whew. It's been a busy week, and there's no letup in sight. Here's a quick rundown of the latest events:--Grampa Lair came out to visit, pulling in last Sunday and taking off early this morning. The last time he had seen her was back in April, when she was knee-high to a grasshopper (she's thigh-high to a cricket, now). Eden loved the furry white stuff on his face (although he may not have

Eden officially graduated to her Big Girl carseat this weekend. She weighed in at 22.5 lbs. this past Monday and the limit for her old seat was 22 lbs. On the upside she does seem to like it better and Mike and I were just about throwing our backs out carring her in the old one. Mike and I have also discovered the relief of Baby Einstein. For all of you out there who are saying to yourselves "

Today's number is 443,000, brought to you by the verb fuss and the adjective cranky. Yes, today was clinic day for Eden, and while she scored great (well, decently--we expect it to be high the week after a transfusion) she wasn't happy about the experience. Actually, this may have been her worst trip so far--she even screamed at the nurse, which everyone knows is a no-no, unless you like spit

Yesterday was Transfusion Day, where happy little girls with no platelets in their blood go and get topped off for a few more weeks. Last week she rocked the platelets to the tune of 78,000, so yesterday--even though technically she was just going in for another blood test--we packed bags with clothes, diapers, baby toys and grown-up toys (because who wants to spend a day in the hospital without

Eden got to meet her "Pops" this past week. We are sad to say that he had to leave today to head back to Colorado. We all had a great time. We ate lots of bar-b-que, made a visit to Clinton Library and showed him the "sights of Little Rock." Thanks for coming Dad, we miss you already and hope that you can come back soon with her uncles and aunt!

It seems that every time we put a post on the blog it's in regards to Eden's platelets, I guess that that's what our lives are about right now!! Anyways, they are down again. 78,000. Not a significant fall, but a fall all the same. Mike and I are beginning to think that the 200,000 plus platelets was a big fluke, we'll see. The even more downside to this is that her kidney test is scheduled for

Well, that was confusing.We said all the right things, like "we're gonna wait and see what happens," and "we don't want to make any assumptions," and "we're not ging to jump to any conclusions," but we were jumping, my friends, jumping very far. We just knew that her platelets were going to be fine--equal to, if not better than, last week's count. We had that gut feeling that this was all over

Today is the big one: crunch time, the semester final, the game for all the marbles. Why, you ask? Because last week was the first week that Eden's platelets rose of their own accord--from 110,000 the week before to over 200,000 last Monday. And that's without an IVIg boost, folks, which makes it the first time (in her life, as far as we know, although definitely since May) her platelets chose

So I took a little vacation from the blog. Maybe not so little--looking through the old blogs, it's been around three weeks since my last post. Luckily Sarah was able to cover my slacker ways with her post, otherwise this place would've been a desert of Eden info. In my defence, though, the World Cup is on, which has driven the one or two rational thoughts straight out of my head. But I'm

Eden made her first trip this week! We headed out with Nan on Tuesday for a long drive to Nashville. Eden did great! She was such a trooper. We arrived in Nashville and had better accomadations than at home. Aunt Linda had prepared a room for us with everything we could ever need (thanks to Uncle Andy for giving up his room): a changing table, a playpen, new clothes, and best of all some baby

...and another fun day in the hospital is done. Eden had to go in for another IVIg transfusion on Monday; her platelets had been declining since her first transfusion like Zima at a San Francisco art show. So we wandered in around 8 that morning and wandered back out around 6:30 that evening, full up on 10,000 people's anitbodies. Eden was a champ throughout--she was a happy, bouncy, playful 3-

Look at the, um, muscles on that girl--you'd never guess there's hardly any platelets floating around around in there. That's right, she had her usual pricking, poking, and prodding last Monday and came home with around 99,000 less than the previous week. For the mathematically challenged--or, more likely, for those who don't feel like browsing back to last week's post--that means her Monday

Round three at the blood clinic was yesterday and yes, Eden enjoyed it as much as all the others. It seems inevitable that every time Eden seems to have finally gotten over the previous hospital visit (no more nightmares, touchy feet, fear of scrubs [okay, so I made that one up]) we have to take her back in again. Wait, it is inevitable; she has weekly appointments. No wonder it seems like

So Sarah roped our good friend and world-class photographer, Angela, into taking some photos of Eden for her 3-month birthday--and they turned out not too shabby, not too shabby indeed. The following are but three of several dozen that Angela took; she's still putting the final spit and polish on the others while these serve as a little appetizer, to mix metaphors.

Saturday was the day we've all been waiting for: the first roll. Not the first fat roll (she's had several of those for quite some time now), but the first roll, from stomach to back. We were actually lucky enough to catch it with a string of pics:Okay, so that was totally staged.She really did roll over, though, and not just once but three times in a matter of five minutes or so. And then

I realize it's been a week (over a week, now) since the last post, but in our defense we are very lazy. We have no excuses; it's not like nothing happened over the last week.Wait, nothing happened over the last week; scratch the previous sentence.Alright, that's not quite true--something must have happened, but it's late and I'm tired and I don't really want to go digging in my short-term memory

First of all let me apoligize to you all for my writing skills, I know this blog entry won't be near as enjoyable to read as Mike's, but hopefully it'll get the point across and Eden's pictures will make up for the rest.Eden had to have more blood drawn today to monitor her platlet levels. We are very proud of her, as she didn't scream with fear when we walked into the hospital. This test was

...So where was I? Right, the bone marrow biopsy on Tuesday. Luckily, the doctor and nurses allowed us to be in the room when Eden had the biopsy done. Lucky in a way--it was ten times easier to watch a nurse punch a monstrously large needle into Eden's hip than it was to try to comfort her as she lay screaming before the sedatives kicked in. Her eyes were two power drills of parental guilt;

Whew.It's been a busy, busy, stressful, hair-pulling, tear-shedding and ultimately joyful week. For those of you who have missed the email and MySpace updates Sarah and Molly have put out, let me explain:No, there is too much. Let me sum up:Monday morning, Sarah noticed a couple of purple-ish dots on Eden's face. During bath time a little later, Sarah saw that these little purple dots were

Eden had a whole weekend-plus full of firsts, enough to put her in her first way-too-much-excitement-for-a-hipster-baby recovery period. She's been in crash mode ever since her Gran left--if she's not eating or sleeping, it's cranky-pants time. And nobody likes cranky-pants time.At any rate, you may not have asked for it, but I promised it anyway: Eden's first barbeque pics. She had a blast

We had a small review of Noah's Flood on Saturday with inch upon inch of rain over the course of the day. Our street turned into a nice little river; water flowed up to mid-calf at its highest point (which, of course, I chose to be the ideal time to cross from Molly and Chach's to our house) and our friends' yard at the bottom of the hill turned into the receiving reservoir.

So a few of you have mentioned we've been slacking off a bit on updating this page, to which I replied that I've gone whole hours without flashing my pics to friends and fam, so what's the big deal? To which you replied that no one really likes to look at my ugly mug anyway, which is a pretty fair point and makes our failure to update Eden's page something of a different situation. It's not

So after a minor incident at the Lair household involving some leftover Easter grub, a large glass of milk, a vulnerable keyboard, a careless hand of an unnamed father, and a bad combination of them all, we're back with a new keyboard and more updates.Specifically, Easter! Eden's first went remarkably well, except maybe for Eden. Her Grandma Lair was out for the weekend, the sun was shining,

Today was the day everyone's been dreading--Eden went to the doctor to get her first vaccines. Man, did she not enjoy that. She's actually still crying, several hours later. Plus, the bandaids, like, totally clash with her outfit. Luckily, she gets to wait two months before she has to go through the process again. If mom and dad have not passed out from the crying long before then.In other
