A Gem Well Taken

The moment you realize you're a gem, is the moment you are swept off your feet!

A quick snapshot...








Here is a quick look at the past few months…

- First and foremost, Noah is doing great! His voice is very clear and much louder, which is awesome news!!! We are expecting to only have one more surgery if that!


- Juliana says Dad, Dada and Daddy now! Even though she doesn’t know what she’s saying it still melts our hearts!


- We had a great time in California! We camped in the RV for a week on the beach and basically did whatever a two year desired! Played in the sand, ate A LOT of junk food, road on the train, toured some really neat boats at the harbor, road carnival rides, blew a million bubbles, swam in a Jacuzzi…if that is possible, went on bike rides, watched Flo the ant a million times, had a really nice BBQ with Ryan’s cousins, spent time with my wonderful Grandparents and best of all we got to relax and laugh a lot! It was a vacation of seven beautiful sunny days with no agenda! Ahhh!


- Spent a week in Pinetop, it was once again beautiful and so relaxing! This is the best time of year to visit! We celebrated Pat’s 50th! My Mom threw a great party and we all had a really nice time!


- Noah is now diaper free!!! He’s doing great for the most part, I’m just very thankful his poop now goes in the toilet! For those of you who have experienced a poopy diaper of a child that is above the age of two…you will totally understand!


- Noah played in the rain for the first time!


- Ryan is back playing softball, so that’s been a lot of fun watching the guys play!


- I had a wonderful birthday! Lots of love and thoughtfulness went into it! My husband surprised me with a beautiful ring, there for awhile I thought I was getting a freezer instead! Long story…another time.


- We celebrated Ryan’s birthday in California with his cousins. We had a BBQ at their house and then headed to the beach for dessert and a beautiful sunset!

So now you’re caught up, hopefully it won’t be as long next time.
