Evan Update

I just wanted to post a quick update for anyone looking.

Evan had his surgery yesterday and it went GREAT!!! We are dying to get up to the hospital today to see how he is feeling. Yesterday he was in very little pain so we are hoping that continues. He ended up in ICU, mostly due to bed shortages so he hasn't gotten to see John and they miss each other greatly.

Our Trip to Florida - John's 2nd B-day

Be prepared for lots of pictures :)

We had a blast on our 2 week vacation in Florida. We started with the Majoros (granny & papa), then spent a few nights at the beach (palm coast - hammock beach), then to my parents house (grandma & grandpa). Thank you to all who let us stay with you and to everyone else we got to visit.

A big thank you to all that gave gifts to my wild man. You went WAY overboard. I had to go by 6 new bins to store everything in!!!

We always love seeing family and John loves getting to play with all of his cousins. We can't wait to go back for Thanksgiving :)

Granny and Papa's

Here are some shots from our visit with the Majoros. We went to the Florida Museum of Natural History and to the Jacksonville Zoo. We LOVED both of them and plan to visit more often :)

So excited to blow out the candles

Present time with most of his cousins :)

This is from the next day...the train set that Granny, papa and Sarah and Jason got him (he's obessed with the trains)

Our trip to the Beach

During our Florida trip we took a few days and stayed at the beach. It was John's first time at the ocean. I can't believe that my child was 2 before he saw the ocean, sad...sad... haha

Foggy but still such a special picture for me. First time down on the beach...
