First… the FUN! If you’re reading this and you live in the northern United States then you know what a dreadfully long, cold, and snowy winter it has been. In Michigan, we have had more snow and consecutive days below freezing this year than we have had in over 2 decades. When you can’t get […]

Ok so we are rounding the bend on this massive photo update… These pictures are all kinda random and are from June-ish to now.   Eating & Therapy – Evan is still making progress.  He is really not offended by any tastes, just textures.  But he is improving and we are working on teaching him […]

October and November 2013   Oct 9 – Papa decided to sell his truck in favor for a more economical car.  Evan loves Papa’s truck and will miss it.  So he can remember, we made sure we took some pics with Evan in the truck before it was gone.  Somehow I think this boy will […]

September 2013   Sept 2 – Evan and I did an art  project in the driveway that doubled as therapy time 😉   Sept 6 – We met up with The Hargers and Jacksons for Evan’s first football game.  He behaved great and the weather was so beautiful!   Sept 8 – We live right […]

Here are a bunch of photos from August 2013   August 8 – Evan had a neurology check up at UofM with Dr. Leiber.  Evan has no issues and “graduated” from following up with the doctor unless we feel it is necessary. So proud of my buddy and grateful he as been able to recover […]

So here comes a series of monster posts.  Hope you like lots of pics with little content because there’s about 5 months worth of updating to do… yikes   June 29 – A get together with some colleagues from work from my old unit.  We all had babies close to each other too so there […]

I’m working on compiling everything from the past couple months into some monster posts.  Evan and I share the same sentiment about it all… Some days are a little rougher than others.  Some days little boys like to wake up at 6:15 am and only take a 1 hour nap.  Some days will be pretty […]

This is a difficult post to write and I’m not exactly sure where to start. We had a lot of joy and celebration on Evans birthday a few weeks ago but there was 1 very important person who was unable to be there – Nana.  The Tuesday before Evan’s party, Nana went into the hospital.  She was […]

The Norwood.  The first in a series of 3 surgeries for single ventricle kids, it is the most dangerous and complicated.  Often it occurs within days of new life and it catapults you firmly into the world of complex cardiac heart defects.  Never before will a body be so pure or untouched pre-Norwood.  After, it […]

I can’t believe it’s been 2 years.  I think every parent thinks that.  It is crazy how something seems simultaneously soooo long and eye-blinking fast.  We had a birthday party for Evan on Saturday.  It was great weather, great friends, great food… you couldn’t have asked for anything better.  We didn’t get too many photos […]
