We had a good halloween here in Ruskin and in Deshler! Peyton and I didn't get to many houses, but thats ok, he kept wanting to talk and hang out at most of the houses, lol, my little chatter box. My nephew, Savino drove us around Ruskin. He just got his learners permit so he was excited! Ella slept through most of the trick and treating. We had fun and can't wait till next year!!

On September 18Th 2009 at 8:27 a.m. we became proud parents of a little girl, whom we named, Ella Marie Devonia Cox!! After Aunt Stella Marie and Rogers' mother Mary Devonia, both who passed away last year. She weighed 6lbs. 12.9oz and 19 inches long. She is just PERFECT! Her big brothers love her and can't get enough of her. Ella and I are doing good. I delivered her by a planned C-section and i am healing farely good. I am in more pain this time then I remember from Peyton. Ella is doing good with breast feeding, she tends to "chew" before latching on and I am trying to get her to open her mouth more so she will stop, it is very painful, you have no idea!!! Here are a few pictures of our baby girl!! enjoy and love you all!

The boys got bored one weekend and I gave them the chore of throwing out a picnic table that broke and this is what they did with the top of it!! I would rather them be out having harmless fun then inside watching t.v. or playing video games!! I wanted to ride too SOOO bad!! They can't wait for snow now, we have a hill across the street from us and we went sledding there last year. My nephews haven't seen snow in 5 yrs!! They really can't wait, they lived in Georgia before they moved up here with us, and New Jersey before that, so they have seen snow before.

I am now doing my weekly visits and getting VERY anxious for the big day! My doctor was kind of freaked out when she measured my belly because the baby popped up and she said she could feel the outline of her body, limbs and all, and that is very rare to be able to feel. She never got to feel it before and thought that was neat!! So did I. I am getting scared and just want it to be over with. I don't know why I am scared because I've had a c-section before and know what to expect. I guess it's because I have a different doctor and a different Hospital as well. Another reason I am scared, I tested positive for the Group B Strep. I didn't know much about it so I looked it up on the Internet and it is pretty scary! I just hope that everything will be OK with her and me!! I took a tour of the hospital yesterday and my anxiety is a little better. But I know I won't be better till its all over and I know that the both of us are OK. Please pray for us and help me get through this awful feeling that I have.
Now Austin. We took him to the Children's Hospital in Omaha on the 26Th of August, for tests he needed for his liver and other problems he's been having. He had another appointment there on the 2ND of this month for an ultrasound on his liver because it has been swollen and we don't know why, so they needed to do this second ultrasound to see if it went down. I am sad to say both his liver and his spleen are swollen and he can not play football for school. He has more tests in the future to find out why his body is doing what it is doing. We hope to cure him yet this year but its not looking good so far. Please pray for him too! We all could use the prayers.
Peyton was supposed to start preschool after labor day, but the school hasn't got the new preschool building ready yet and they are saying that it will be ready late October or early November. This makes me sad cause he is almost 5 and won't be ready for kindergarten yet. I try and work with him in work books I got him but he won't listen to me. He did great in day care but I can't afford to take him anymore. I just hope he does well when preschool does start.
We enjoyed our visit with Mindy on the 2ND! Peyton was shy at first then started to show off!! He showed her his bubbles, his room, his baby pictures and more of his toys and tricks!! She had fun taking his picture and he had fun posing! It's to bad we don't get to see family very often but we enjoy every minute of our visits no matter who it is. Thanks for stopping by Mindy, drive safe on your way back to New York!! Love you!
