I would like to start this post off with a big sorry! I have a healthy, cute, little, very smiley, Pink bundle of joy! I could not ask for a cutter little girl. (because she is the cutest :) She has a little louder then normal heart murmur and we will have to go back when she is 6 months to make sure everything is normal.
Anyways, let me fill you in on what has been happening here at the Franco's. This last month Aunt Bryn came to town and Shayla loved having her here. So did the boys.
Valentines was great! We enjoyed the day together as a family. We went to a movie with the kids and made sugar cookies. Daddy spoiled Shayla and I he bought this outfit for Shayla and bought me a day spa pass. (I am dying to use it) The boys were excited to get Spiderman and Car's dish wear. I love that they can get so excited over the simplest things and still to this day are excited to use them for every meal.
The shelfs in our garage are now housing all of our crap and some holiday decor. Our trailer parked on the side of the house is stuffed with the kids toys. (what a joke!) I have realized again our kids are spoiled.
I thought I would take pictures of the basement and the entrance/stairs through out the process of the overhaul. Here are the before pictures.
The wood arrived and the framing is done as well as the electrical.
The pluming was finished today as well as the air vents but here is a picture of the bathroom/laundry room when it was all tore up! (What a mess!)
My parents took the whole family snowmobiling. We had so much fun. Jeremy had to stay home and help with the eletrical on the basement. (We missed you hun, thanks for all your hard work.) My parents also took there 5th wheel up so we could come back and get warm, have lunch, and relax. My mom brought a candy neckles for the kids to make.
Dylan was such a dare devil. He loved going down the hill or I should call it "the mountain". I have to admit, I was friecked out. I went down and just about started crying ;) I was scared to death and there is Dylan asking to go again! Austin loved it too. He was just as brave. So yeah I'm a wimp. I'm more scared than a 2 year old! Here are some of the pictures!
Austin has started karate! He loves it. We are excited to have him in something to drain some of his energy and give him some confidence. We are so proud of him. He is working really hard.
Well we are very busy around here and are enjoying our family. Thank you everyone for your support and your prayers with Shayla. We are excited to bless her March 29th. We would love to have everyone there. If any of you need the address email me and I will get you the info! Thanks again and I will try not to go as long next time.

I wish I was getting my basement done too! I'm glad Shayla is good, I've been really worried for you and hoping that the no news was good news phrase was true! Brad has a benign flow murmur, we got to go through all the testing with him when he was about nine months old, but luckily it was nothing. I hope it will be the same for you. :-) She's beautiful!
