Smiles and Giggles!

Halle has been smiling so much lately, and when we are lucky, she will even giggle for us! It is most certainly the sweetest thing in the whole world. Ok, so I'm a dork, but it makes me tear up almost every time she giggles for me! Ya, I know, what motherhood does to you. :) Hal is the most smiley right as soon as she wakes up in the mornings and during the night. When she wakes up to eat at night, she rarely cries, she'll just lie there in her crib making the cutest baby cooing noises and kick her little feet, and when we go to pick her up, she will give us the biggest smile and a little giggle! It totally makes getting up during the middle of the night worth it. (Well, almost!:))

Call Family Update

It's been a little while since we updated, so here is what the Call family has been up to:

Halle ~ Little Hal is doing really well. So far this RSV season she has stayed healthy, we have really been taking precautions to keep it that way! The doctors have advised to keep her away from crowded places and out of the cold because of her very weak immune system, so we have been little hermits lately, mostly she only goes out for Dr. appointments. Kim and I take turns going to church, and at night when Kim is home with Halle, I do my grocery shopping and errands. She also gets a Synagis shot every 28-30 days that is supposed to help build up her immune system. I took her to get her November shot yesterday, poor little girl, I hate watching her get shots, I don't like to see her in pain. The nurse said that Synagis shots hurt more than regular shots because the medicine stings really bad when it is getting injected. But we are so grateful for modern medicine and that it is helping to keep our little girl healthy. By the way, she weighs 9 pounds, 6 ounces now!

Melissa ~ Lately, I have been packing to get ready for our move next week! We are leaving on Tuesday and will drive straight through, so we should be getting to Star Valley sometime on Wednesday. We are soooo excited to come home! We will be in Star Valley until the next dome job starts up sometime at the first of the year. We are not sure where we are going yet, but we are excited for our next little adventure! It's been fun seeing and living in Oklahoma. We feel we were very blessed living here this past year because of the excellent health care we received because of mine and Halle's condtions. OU Medical Center is one of the top in the nation and we feel so blessed that Halle was taken care of so well. We also feel very blessed with the wonderful ward we had here. It is so comforting to know that no matter where we go there will always be the gospel and ward or branch families.

Kim ~ Kim has stayed busy working, what a wonderful husband I have that is so willing to work hard to provide for our little family so I can be a stay at home mother. Thanks sweetheart! Here are some pics of what he has been up to.

Halle's Blessing Day

She was pretty worn out by the end of the day!

We had a wonderful day. Kim gave a beautiful blessing, Halle is so lucky to have such a wonderful Daddy. Thank you Mom and Dad and Jen for flying out to be with us on this special day!
