Picture update overload!

 Some pics from the last few years, including COVID19 pandemic lockdown in the US.  Boys are currently 10 years old and 13.5 years.  Austin’s going into 5th grade and is obsessed with baseball.  Jake’s going into 9th grade and still loves all things school and office related.  They fight like cats and dogs most days but still manage to show their love for each other.  Jake’s cochlears continue to amaze us and are all up to date with the latest technology including Bluetooth directly into his iPhone.  Austin’s shunt is perfect and he now only sees the neurologist every 2 years.  

Reading through old posts last night and I’m just so thankful amazed.  The prayers from all of you, and our family and friends helped us through all of our trying times and just look at where we are today.  God is good and prayers work!!  So very blessed for my boys and family.  Keep tuning in as I know how fast the time goes.  ❤️

Major catchup time

 Wow I can’t even believe that it’s been over 5 years since I’ve last updated.  Everyone here is well-really well!  Austin is 9 1/2 now-Jake is 13.  Curious to see if anyone is still following this?  If so, drop a comment below.  I’ll update pictures and stories later this week!  

So surreal reading all of the old posts and reliving them.  What an experience which has led us to where we are today.  So thankful and blessed!

2015 here we come!!!!

Guess who's baaaaaack!!!  Yep, been over a year (I can't even believe it!!!).  Where does the time go?  I can't even tell you.  Days turns into weeks which turns into months and here we are-over a year later!!!

Lets see...first things first.  The boys.  Austin will be 4 years old in less than 2 months; Jake turned 7 last September and is now in 2nd grade.  Everyone is good-status quo.

Jake is still our well behaved, well mannered, caring and loving boy.  He is so smart and strong willed (um, a little like his mommy haha).  Still VERY shy and introverted.  But seems like thats just gonna be his personality.  Everyone calls him the "old soul".  He loves hanging with the adults and is very intuitive.  He loves to play "office" and can often by found in his playroom writing lists, making crafts, playing buses, etc.  Hearing is good-just routine checks and all has been good.  He is the best big brother anyone could ask for!

Austin is our strong-willed, outspoken, defiant (haha-yes!) little young man.  He's at the stage of "I can do it by myself".  And as soon as he doesn't get what he wants-everyone knows it.  As much as he is all of those things-he is also very loving.  He loves to cuddle, snuggle and give kisses and hugs.  He has a great sense of humor and is so quick to pick new things up.  And boy does he have an arm of a professional baseball pitcher!! He loves all things sports-ALL THINGS SPORTS!  And cars...he loves cars, trucks and tractors!
The boys had a blast at Christmas this year.  So excited and so giving.  All in all, we are doing well.  Sorry for the hiatus-guess time flies when you're having fun as they say!!!
