Greyson & Noah


These two bundles of energy were in the NICU together! During that time, it was near impossible for me to picture our kiddos out of the hospital and doing things like swimming together! I sure wish we lived closer together!  It was a blast getting to see you Newkirk Family!

A trip back home

When I think of my Opa {grandpa} I envision a Strong, Well-Respected businessman.  A couple months back, my brother called and informed me that Opa's health had taken a turn for the worse. He has since stabilized and is back home and doing okay. No solid "answers" from the medical professionals as to why. *Sigh* Incredibly frustrating! I have to tell myself its called "practicing" medicine for a reason!  Nevertheless, it got my feet-dragging behind to book a ticket for Noah & I {flying isn't cheap these days!} and visit.
We stayed with my brother Joe & his sweet family.  They were very accommodating and excellent hosts.  I am very glad I was able to go and see everyone.  Here are a few highlights!

 Noah loved the airplane ride! He asked if I could put the tickle back in his belly...
 After take-off he slept the entire time! I had to wake him up for landing...oh ya! I was that mom :) You know you're jealous!
