A Brief Family History

Mike and I met through a mutual friend and hit it off pretty much right off the bat. We started to date a few months after we met and then we moved to Milwaukee together about a year later. Soon we found out the we were going to be having a baby, a preterm scare and eight and a half months later our baby boy Kain was born, and what a joy he has been. Mike and I got married a year later and Kain got to be the cutest ring bearer there ever was. Life was good. We decided that our apartment was starting to get a bit small for our expanding family and started the search for a home to call our own. In May we purchased our new house and a week later found out that we would be welcoming our second addition to the family. Unfortunately the second pregnancy wasn't quite as enjoyable as the first and we had a few complications. Raelyn Kristina was born January 7th a whole month before she was due. Because of that her lungs were a bit under developed and had to have a week long stay in the NICU at the Children's Hospital. She then was home for about 2 weeks and then had to spend another week in the hospital with RSV. So her start to life was a bit of an adventure, but she is now healthy and growing stronger everyday. And that puts us to pretty much where we are right now. Getting settled into a four person family, starting to do some remodeling to our home, and getting ready and enjoying the beautiful spring weather.
