We have returned....






We have finally returned after a 1 1/2 years...So here is what has basically happened since then. We decided to put our house on the market since Finn and Caelin were getter bigger and so were their toys. We found a house up the street with an additional bedroom and a den. It also was on a acre lot in a cul-de-sac with a pool! We decided to go for it while the real estate market was hot and ended up selling our house in less than a week! The house was a definate fixer upper but Trey and I love projects and we had a great vision. The before picures are shown above...I will publish the new photos in my next blog. We are in the planning process of redesigning our kitchen. So right when we were closing on our house we found out we were having another addition. We welcomed our sweet baby girl Bailee Dunaway Dowdey on March 26, 2007. April was on bedrest for 5 weeks for preterm labor and ended up having her 3 weeks early and in less than 2 hours. She was ready to play with her brothers. There is a picture of the new family posted above. As of April, Trey was activated for a home station mobilization with the US Army Reserves. He will remain active duty until April 2008 but luckily stationed right down the street in Hoover. I have taken a Baylor position at Brookwood Hospital in Labor and Delivery. I work every Friday and Saturday nights. It has been nice because I can volunteer at Finn's school and chaperone field trips. Finn is currently in 1st Grade, Caelin is in 2 year old kindergarten Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday and Bailee remains with her mom during the week. We are definately staying busy so you can see why it has taken so long for us to post from our initial posting. Feel free to comment... I will try to post more later this week.

The Dowdey Family

Hello! We have decided to start a family blog to keep all of our friends and family updated on what is going on with our family. Since we both work now, we have found it very difficult to e-mail, return phone calls and even get film developed. We apologize for this! We really want everyone to experience our day to day life. As you know, our two wonderful boys keep us really busy. We want everyone to really know these two amazing children and we want Finn and Caelin to know each one of you. We will try to keep updated pictures as well as any other news we may have. Feel free to post any messages to send to us. Finn would love getting "e-mail"! Caelin will appreciate to it one day as well. Hope you will enjoy! April and Trey
