Christmas gift from Hannah

Hannah felt bad that she didn't get Mommy & Daddy anything for Christmas so after eating breakfast Christmas morning. She opened her mouth and gave us her present on our dining room rug. :o( After cleaning the rug and doing a load of laundry we continued to open presents. Hannah felt sick again at Grandma & Grandad's house but the next day she felt better. Except Mommy felt worse. She must've taken what Hannah had and kept it for a few days. If you got the stomach bug for Christmas too we'd suggest returning it immediately. That's not a gift you want to keep around.

Needless to say we are ready for the New Year! We are hoping to celebrate quietly tonight. We will see if that really happens or not.

We'll post some pictures and maybe a video or two soon. Thanks for checking back and Happy New Year!

18 month appointment!

Hannah had her 18 month appointment on Tuesday. She did very well handling her last set of shots for a few years. Hannah's Dr. was impressed with her growth. She's in the 95% for height and 90% for weight. She said Hannah's the size of an average 2 year old. She also said that Hannah may be experiencing the "terrible twos" earlier. If Hannah remains healthy then she doesn't have to go back to the Dr. for 6 months!! Yeah!!

The Dolphins Won!!

Jon got 2 free club level tickets to the Miami Dolphins vs. Baltimore Ravens game yesterday. We went and had a great time! Our seats were awesome! We really enjoyed getting some time together and definitely enjoyed the Dolphins victory!! This was our view from our seats!

Barkley 2001-2007

Today was an extremely difficult day. Jon took Barkley to a specialist this morning hoping to find out what was wrong with him. We thought he was having an inner ear issue but the specialist told us that it was something far worse than that. We were given a few options; take him in for further tests, start treatment for the possible problem or have Barkley put to sleep. After a long day of talking, crying and spending time with him, we decided the best thing to do was put him to sleep. We didn't consider the first two options because neither of them gave a cure for Barkley's illness, just a temporary cure. Since Barkley couldn't walk, eat, drink or go to the bathroom on his own today, we had to make the hardest decision we've ever had to make. Thank you all for your love and prayers. Barkley will be truly missed but our memories with him will last a lifetime!



Love,

Jon, Renee and Hannah

Adorable store!

Just have to share: I just found a cute and inexpensive Baby's consignment store in Palm Beach! Yes, Palm Beach has a store where items can cost $3 or $4! Wow!! I was lucky to have won a $100 gift certificate at Jon's school auction for $35. I thought I'd only find a few items, well, I was wrong. I bought 16 things, which really made it just over $2 an item!! Praise God! What a great way to spend my first Saturday off! If you want to go its right between Testa's and the gas station, down the walkway Via Testa. It's called ABC- A Baby's Consignment. Let me know and I'll go with you!!
