We have an appointment scheduled with the Neurologist. Small steps, but progress none the less. Hopefull we will have some answers on 4/13. I know it seems far away, but the typical waiting period is 2 1/2 months. We were fortunate to get an appointment so quickly. In the mean time, Noah is continuing to do well. He is running, talking and eating as if nothing happened. Thank you again for

First of all, thank you to everyone who has kept Noah and our family lifted up in prayer. It means more than we can possibly express. For those of you who are not aware of the events that unfolded, here is a brief recap. Last Thursday, March 4, we went into Noah’s room to start our day. Noah was lying in bed awake, but not responding to our voices or touch. After some observation and trying

For Christmas Kameron secretly asked Santa for a lap top computer. Maybe it was the recession, maybe Santa knew her parents would never stand for a lavish purchase or maybe Santa wanted Kameron to learn fiscal responsibility, Santa bought Kameron a financial planning kit. As a budding entrepreneur, Kameron was ready for the tools to manage her money.This kit isn't so she can save for college or a

Our Junior Girl Scout is selling COOKIES! This is Kameron's rookie season in Scouts and selling cookies. She has set a personal goal of 175 boxes of cookies. We are hoping to help her meet her goal. She may be calling or emailing some of you, so be on the lookout! If you don't have a cookie connection or would like to add a cheeky ten year old to your list of cookie girls, we would be

Smells of panic are echoing through the land. It must be snow! I must admit, when it snows, I become a smidge on the edge. Mostly because John works downtown and I know if he times it wrong, his commute will take 5 hours. Eli is mesmerized by the cold white stuff. It is refreshing to relive the magic. While most people are whining about being inconvenienced, I have the wonderful opportunity

After 24 long weeks, we have our first photo. Our "Little Cabbage", as we have lovingly dubbed #4, is healthy, active and as you can see in the photo...happy. We are overjoyed! Weighing in at 1lb 5oz, we are told Cabbage has "decent" sized feet and a heart rate of 164 BPM. The Horn girls believe that Cabbage is a girl, while the Horn boys are saying this baby will be the final piece to the

John and I are absolutely thrilled to report, Noah has pristine skin!As I changed his diaper this morning, I looked at Noah with amazement. His skin was white, clean and smooth. I have never seen his skin so beautiful. I cried as I kissed his arms and his pudgy legs. I watched as I diapered him. He wasn’t digging or clawing at his skin. His eyes were bright and you could see joy in his face. Our

We are going against the grain a bit and despite or inspite (can't figure out which) our sensibilities we are going TV free in our home.

We know that good news travels fast ;) so some of you may have already heard about the results of Noah's allergy test. We are slowly coming to terms with the life changing results and we are collecting as much information as possible. While there are many foods he cannot have, we are ready to embrace the ones he can once we get past the mandatory liquid diet to flush his system. The liquid

Can you believe summer is just around the corner?Noah is 10 months old, and our big fella is THRIVING! Tipping the scales at an impressive 24lbs 6oz, our super sized WALKING babe is just as wonderful as ever. It is an absolute delight to watch the boys play. Eli loves his younger brother and it shows. The two are inseparable most times and much to my chagrin, they are double trouble.Kameron is

The kids are amazing! Honestly, I think they are the best. Noah is GROWING and my baby is suddenly not so babyish. At 7 months our guy is well over 20lbs, is the proud owner of 1 bottom tooth, is

Eli was sitting on my lap today while I was on the computer. I was logging on to my email and noticed Eli was saying "papaw". I said, "No buddy, papaw is bye-bye." As usual, he was emphatic about "papaw". I looked up at the computer screen and chuckled when I saw who he was calling "papaw". Dad, you are truly a star in the eyes of my son! Even as I am posting..."hi papaw!"

Blog Time, Long Over DueI know I have been a big blog slacker, but seriously…we are busy. Between the boys, Kam’s schooling and my entrepreneuring, who has time?!

I sat here today, in the midst of chaos, and paused to look at my baby girl. Much to my dismay, her baby-ness is gone. I looked at Noah and tried to remember Kameron at that age. Her face, her smells, her sounds, have all but vanished, replaced instead with a young lady. Gone are the days where I could entertain her by singing along with the Wiggles. Now singing along with the dreamy Jonas

It is no secret, Noah is a biggin! At 15lbs & 9oz and 25.5 inches long, our guy is in the 97% respectively. This is in stark contrast to his older siblings. One thing is for certain, our guy is thriving. Much to Grandma Joan's chagrin he will not be put on a weight loss program anytime soon.

Multi tasking in the Team Horn house is a must. With babies 2 & 14 months, I have learned I can nurse and simultaneously lift, block or knock down Eli with a foot, leg or arm. Sounds harsh, but it has served its purpose a time or ten. Noah has slept through the night a few times this past week so we are optimistic. We are looking forward to another homeschool field trip tomorrow. I am sure Kami

I still can't believe how big Noah "tank" Horn is! In the pictures, Eli is 12 weeks and Noah is 7 weeks (today!). We can't even button the neck. He even looks big next to Kami. We are anxious to see what he weighs at 2 months (2 weeks from now).

This week was another one for the books. Don't worry, we didn't trade Noah in (that was for you Grandpa Ott), although it has been discussed when he is having his bi-evening tirade at 2am. We met Mr. Adam today. Although gestationally there is a day difference between Adam and the big guy, he is three weeks younger...we won't even talk about size.

It has been a month since we welcomed Noah Samuel. Although exhausting, it has been wonderful. Kami has been such a great help, and is very doting. Eli is a typical big bother...doesn't like to see his brother cry, but will throw things at him just the same. Out of necessity, I have learned to nurse on the defensive. Noah doesn't sleep well at night, so John and I are still trying to adjust.

We are amazed by his luscious blond locks! Our Birth Story As you may know, we do not have arduous birthing stories. That being said, we like a good story just as much as the

But alas...it wasn't me. Yes, we were beaten and it's the "Pitt's". Back to the drawing board...all the guesses were wrong. My new prediction has me delivering on July 16th...no room for disappointment. Of course our Sprout could join the masses, myself included, and share a birthday on the 14th.

I must admit, the much anticipated birth of Sprout Horn isn't drawing as much attention as the Angelina and Brad twins. Still I feel compelled to keep you posted.As of today, I am 2cm dilated and 80% effaced.

No news is well...no news. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Sprout. So far the baby has been compliant and was not born on Eli's birthday or the 4th, so any day now would be great. Until then, we are making plans to not make plans. Eli is a complete and total maniac. Between RUNNING around the house, plotting with the dog and climbing on everything, we haven't had a moment’s peace.

Looking back on the past year, we are absolutely amazed! Elijah Gabriel has made our days brighter and at times has managed to make a 24 hour day feel like 30!

Chris Dunnett is taking the plunge into the Nashville music scene.As a music instructor Chris worked with John and Kameron for 12 years collectively. He also served as a mentor and a good friend. Over the past two years Chris’s musical resume includes the

Eli had a great 1st birthday. Thank you so much to everyone who celebrated with us...especially to the grandparents...it was a very long day! Looking over the past year (almost), it is amazing to see how much our little guy has grown and developed. Not only is this soon to be big brother walking and talking, but he is completely off the bottle and "bo-bo". Eli also has an amazing personality,

We have been busy folks here at Team Horn HQ! As you may have heard, mama has been put on orders to "take it easy". Sprout is down in position and I have been experiencing contractions and lots of pressure on and off for a few weeks. I have been given a magnesium supplement called Slow-Mag to try before we have to use the harsh Brethine. Good news is, I am not dilated. We are trying to ward

HAPPY CINCO DE MESSO!Eli has proven again and again that he will set his own pace. This is also true with his teeth. In accordance with "normal" standards, his two front bottom teeth came though first. Then something unexpected happened...he had yet another bottom tooth come through. Now our guy has cut a 4th tooth...this one is on the top, but instead of it being a central incisor, he has a

Yesterday I was approached by two very eager second graders. "Mom, can you make Austin and I a website about recycling and stuff?" I asked them to come up with "content", and a few minutes later they had a plan.Kameron and Austin are members of the school's Green Team. They come home twice a month with crafts they have made from recyclables and tips on how to conserve energy and litter prevention

Sprout has Sprung – Ma belly is now enormous. There is no doubt that I have been craving cheese. The baby is more active the past week, and the heart burn is something I could live without. I have it with EVERYTHING I eat…not just spicy foods grandmas : )Eli is Springing – Our guy has two teeth and is standing unassisted…only a matter of time before he takes an actual step. Very exciting! At

It’s a...BABYOur Sprout appears to be completely symmetrical and has functioning organs…everything we had prayed for. Sprout tips the scales at a whopping 12oz. Sprout seems to enjoy playing with its feet. We think our bebe is a shy one. Sprout covered its face a lot to avoid the mamarazzi, and appeared to sit cross legged. Dad thinks Sprout is a relaxed laid back boy.Mom thinks Sprout is a

Our Sprout is growing and we are more than half way through our pregnancy! We are getting our first glimpse at our little one on Wednesday, March 12. If everything goes well, we will try to post the first pictures here next week. Here is our mover and shaker:Kameron is amazing. She just received her report card and her grades are excellent. Her teacher is really pleased with all of the books

Little-Big SproutI am noticeably pregnant now, and the looks are starting. I see them eyeballing my belly and whispering when I have Eli in my arms. Is she? Is he? YES! I am pregnant and this is my son. “You are going to have your hands full!” Thanks for that Captain Obvious! More insulting than the looks are the rhetorical lines of questioning. We know what causes pregnancy. Yes, we

Save the Date!Since the lightening labors with Eli and Kameron, I would be remiss if I didn’t say John and I were a bit concerned with the possibility of a road-side baby. Apparently, my doctor feels the same way and has agreed to induce us on July 16th if our Sprout has not immerged by then. Not only are my labors becoming quicker, but the bebes seem to come earlier. This could still pose an

Wiggle WormOther than the occasional flutter, I wouldn’t know that I am pregnant. The morning sickness has eased…not completely gone…but eased. I haven’t gained any weight, and on most days my butt just looks big. I think John is careful not to note that because the “pregnant butt” comment got him in trouble the last time. Ear Infection, Breathing Treatment, Antibiotic…Oh MYEli is going

The Winner Is…Well after little debate, but much thought, our Sprout has a name.Girl: Meriel (Meri) EleanorBoy: Noah SamuelWe absolutely love the names that we have chosen for our child. If you share in our joy, please feel free to express your kind words. We understand that not everyone will share in our taste for names, as we found out with Eli.

One Trimester Down…Two to Go Ahhhh! How do you spell relief?! So long first trimester, and hello digestion. Even though I broke down and bought new maternity jeans, I am still wearing my regular clothes and they are relatively comfortable…yea! I got Sprout a sleeper and a dress. John says it is wrong to make boys wear dresses, and the fact that I feel it is a girl is just wishful thinking.

We had no idea when we bought our home, the former owner who we will identify only as PR, was…well…we just don’t have a clue! The first time we viewed our house, we were very excited. The walls were painted to our liking, it seemed to be updated…enough, and the track lighting was cool. (It should have been the little things like the lighting. Why didn’t we notice it at first?) The house was

“The baby is trying to get out!”Ah, the glorious sounds of a growing baby’s heart beat. There is nothing quite like it. Sprout has a wonderful heart rate of 140 beats per minute. Music to our ears! For the gender guessers, it is the same as Eli’s at 12 weeks. Since the appointment was during the day, we were accompanied by the 4 year old I watch. When I asked what he thought of the

January 10, 2008The Year of the SproutAs you may have heard, we are expecting…again. Yes, we are extremely happy! Our due date is 7/26, so I am looking at another hot summer. So far this pregnancy has been nothing like the other two. I have been relatively sick, but have a ton of energy (thank goodness!). I have never experienced weight loss during pregnancy, but I can’t say I am upset by it. So
