How are we doing?

I get asked this question alot...I think it's because all of the drama we have encountered in 2010. The answer? AWESOME! Although this year has been tough and we have definitely hit some hurdles, the Kabbani family is stronger than ever! Andrew and I will celebrate our 9th "being a couple" anniversary on June 15th and our 4th wedding anniversary on June 17th! He is a wonderful, loving, funny, amazing man and I am sooo blessed to be his wife. He loves his new job and is very excited to start his Masters program next month. Addie is great...thriving, growing, learning and playing everyday! She is the sweetest girl and I am joyfully leading her everyday. I am doing well...anxious for us to have another baby. I have mixed emotions after our loss...some days I can't wait to have another baby and want to start trying right away. Then other days I feel apprehensive and scared. We are just taking it day by day and letting God decide when and if we will have another child. I am hoping to start at U of P soon to finish my degree. We moved into a townhouse in Tolleson...it's so cute. Much more "home-y" than an apartment. Next week is VBS (Vacation Bible School) at our Church so look out for some cute pictures! I am teaching Addie's class and I am really excited about it! We are getting Addie a fish, or a "pishie" as she calls it! She is still in love with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse but has added Dora, Ni Hao Kai Lan and The Wonder Pets to her favorites. She would watch TV all day if I would let her, but I limit her to 2 shows per day. She loves to play pretend...to pretend feed her babies (or me) or give her babies a bottle. It's so sweet. Well I should get off to bed..I will be back to post pictures tomorrow!

A much needed update...

Sorry I have been a terrible blogger. This month has been C-R-A-Z-Y! We did move to Coolidge...but moved back to Phoenix after a month. Coolidge is no beuno for the Kabbani Fam. We are moving into a cute little townhouse this weekend! YAY! I got a new tattoo...I don't have any pictures of it on this computer but it's super cute. I don't have much to update right now but I will once we get settled in our new place!

Poop. Everywhere.

This is what I have been encountering on a daily basis. Addie thinks that when she has poop she needs to immediately take her diaper off. Instead of say, coming to me so I can change her. It's disgusting. I hate poop. I am going to start hitting this potty training thing hardcore because all of the websites say she's ready.

We're moving on Saturday. I am in no way prepared for this move. I really need to get my crap together. We are going to be staying in Coolidge for a couple months while we figure out what to do about getting a house. I hate Chase...if it weren't for them I would be settled in my cute little house by now.

Andrew loves his job at U of P. He is #1 in his department...he rocks.

I need to get motivated today...like, right now.

Addie's Easter pictures!

Here are a couple pictures from Addie's session at Portrait Innovations today!

Sad news...

It is with a very heavy heart that Andrew and I would like to share with our friends and family that we have suffered a loss. I miscarried on Wednesday at 5 weeks pregnant. Please keep our family in your prayers and we go through this difficult time. Thank you and God Bless.

Rest In Peace, Layla Grace.

I have been following the story of Layla Grace, a two year old little girl who has been battling stage 4 neuroblastoma. Today her Mom Shanna posted on her Twitter page that Layla passed away early this morning. I know there is nothing that can heal their broken hearts...I will be praying for her family. You can learn more about her journey at LaylaGrace.org.

Rest In Peace, Layla Grace <3 11/26/2007 - 3/9/2010.

Buying a home is NOT fun!

As most you bloggy friends know, we are in the process of buying our 1st home...all of the fun has been sucked out of it. We are continually having issues with Chase (our lender) and we were supposed to close on February 18th but here we are STILL WAITING! I am going crazy! Thanks for letting me rant, lol.

The past few weeks have been great...Addie is getting so big. She's so smart and is learning something new everyday. Her 15 month check-up was on Friday and she's 27.5lbs and 31 & 1/2 inches tall. Our pediatrician is sending us to a specialist next week for Addie's eyes...they are constantly goopy and weeping. She also has a slight cross in her left eye. He says other than that she is P-E-R-F-E-C-T! We are going to start potty training soon...I think she's ready. Here are a few pictures from this weekend:
