John's Big Boy Bed

John is now the proud owner of a Double size bed!! :) He loves it and so far has done pretty well in it. I think it really makes him feel like a "big boy". We still need to buy a frame so for now the bed is on the floor but we figured that it's less of a drop if he falls hehe. Here are some pics, excuse the plastic on the box springs we didn't want it to get dirty.




And here's a random shot of him that I thought was cute :)

Update

Some I'm behind as usual in updating my blog...

Evan is doing great. He's been back to work now for a week and is almost pain free. He's not even taking advil anymore :)

John is running around like a crazy man, I know what's new. He is finding new things to say EVERYDAY and cracks us up on a regular basis. We've had some cooler days so we've been able to break out our jeans. Here is a picture of John the other day. I thought he looked so big and cute that I couldn't help but get the camera...



And then one night last week he climbed up on the couch and started "reading" a book to himself. It's one of his new favorites, Thomas Treasure. He looks so serious here.


I also have to add a new picture of his train track. We just got a few new additions and he loves the "big track".


My parents recently came up for a visit and I need to steal some of their pics to post. John had a blast with them and forced grandpa to build Mr. Potato head about a million times.
I know he is sooo ready for us to have another trip to FL. He talks about everyone there EVERYDAY. So Thanksgiving needs to hurry up and get here. We love and miss you all!

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 :)

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...


Of course my eyes are closed but oh well John looks cute :)
