Next Stop: Bath tub

Nicholas loves to feed himself lunch. Unfortunately, he
also loves to put food in his hair. He headed straight for
a bath after this meal so I could unpaste his eyebrows
and hair from his head! Oh, and I think it might be
time to trade our bib in for a smock.

Not just walking...playing basketball!

Nicholas decided it was about time he started walking! Who knew he had been wanting to play basketball this whole time?! While I am thrilled that Nicholas is walking I sort of miss the thump, thump, thumping sound of him crawling around the house. But his new, quieter mode of transportation makes it easier for him to surprise mommy.

Remembering my Grandmother

This past weekend was full of emotion as our family
celebrated the life of my grandmother, Jeanne Kuczynski.
My grandmother was beautiful on the inside and out. She
was sharp, classy and witty as can be. Oh, and she played
a mean game of Scrabble (she beat Evan and me last time
we challenged her to a game). Her spirit lives on in our
hearts and she will be missed by all who were lucky enough
to know her.

Cause for Celebration

We met with Evan's doctor today for his routine
bi-annual check up and Evan once again received
an excellent report. Words cannot express how
thankful I am that Evan continues to be in good health.
We just celebrated our second wedding anniversary and it
is hard to believe all that we have experienced together
in a rather short amount of time. Or maybe it is harder
to believe how much we've grown together as a couple.
I can't wait to see where our journey takes us next. Evan
often says "I love our little life." Today, I am reminded
that our life is anything but little. I love our big life.

A note about the balloons: A while back I started a
tradition of surprising Evan with balloons at each

six-month milestone - one balloon for each month

he has been in remission. Well, it has been 32 months

now and I can't tell you how happy it makes me that

I can barely fit all of the balloons in my car!

Thank you to everyone for continuing to keep
Evan and our family in your thoughts and prayers.

Added note from Evan: While I thank my beautiful
wife for the great balloons (and keeping me healthy
for the past 32 months), last year I posed to her the
obvious question of what she had planned to do with
the balloons had I received bad news. Without hesitation,
she stated that she was prepared to give them to the
neighbor kids! It's certainly her love (and a touch of helium)
that keeps my spirits lifted. Thanks again to everyone
who thinks about us.

Learning to Walk

Nicholas is pretty proud that he can go from
sitting to standing all by himself. Oh, and
I promise no children were harmed during the
making of this video.
