Long Overdue Update

Hello everyone,

Sorry it has been so long since we've updated things. Life has been just crazy as you'll find out shortly. First off, this blog comes to you from Ryan--I'm making an effort to be more involved in helping keep this blog up-to-date. So without further ado, here's a recap of the past couple of weeks...

Anna had major wrist surgery on Feb 15. While Anna was in the OR, Ryan was in the ER--he slipped on black ice that morning and fractured his left shoulder. Recovery has been really tough for us both but we're slowly getting better. We're very thankful to our family and friends who have been able to help us out during these challenging times.

We've all been passing around a virus of some sort for the past couple of weeks. Jackson and Anna have been fighting 103 fevers and now Parker is starting to catch it. Ryan has luckily not gotten it that bad and Anna is hopefully coming over the hump.

Jackson is cutting 8 teeth right now: 2 in each section. That is just making all his illness that much worse, but soon he'll have a full mouth of chompers.

Now that we've removed tomatoes from Parker's diet he's doing much better--he's like a whole new baby. He's sleeping the night more often and going to sleep on his own in his crib. There's still room for improvement but his sleep training is going well.

Anna's grad school has been going well. Since I'm writing this I get to brag: at her "career night" she interviewed with the top 6 groups for a practicum position and all 6 offered her their spots! I'm so proud of Anna and it was a great affirmation for her.

Lastly, we both got iPhones! Anna said she wanted one and talked me onto it too. I am so thankful she did because I love it. I also love that Verizon decided to give us unlimited data for the same price as 2gb. Even better though is that I'm updating the blog from my iPhone!

Best wishes to all and stay tuned!
