i haven't updated this in a while. my camera is not with me now so i do not have any photos today but thinks to my sis- i am updating. we have been super busy lately and perhaps thats why i haven't updated. i celebrated my birthday almost 2 weeks ago. i'm now a quarter or a century old. wohoo. kyle is still working lots. and most importantly, our precious madison had surgery today to have tubes put in her ears and her adenoids removed. the surgery went well but she had a hard time waking from the anesthesia. we spent a little extra time at the hospital so she could be monitored a little longer. we are home now and she is just sleeping. we hope by this evening and tomorrow she will be back to her old self. if all goes well we are headed to birmingham tomorrow afternoon to visit ashely, scott, and emmet and get out of town for a little while. byebye for now- emily
