Welcome to the world Mia Lynn

We are so happy you are finally here!

You are such a beautiful baby and have been smiling since the day you were born. 

We love you Mia!

 

College swim

Covid really made a mess of life!  One of the parts it caused chaos with was your freshman year of college swim. You had a short season and we did our best to watch you swim virtually. 

On a Thursday afternoon you called me to tell me you had just found out that you could have two fans at your meet on Saturday. Less then 24 hours later Nana and I hopped in the car and drove the long way to NY to watch you swim. 

It was so amazing!  It had been so long since I had seen you swim, over a year, so it felt like “coming home” to see you dive off the blocks. 

You ROCKED the meet!  Broke four team records and won all of your events. 

I can’t wait to watch you swim for the next few years!

 

Scope day

Over the last couple years we have been able to do scopes just once a year. This time was a bummer because the scope showed active disease in the lower esophagus. 

This scope wasn’t quite as good as past ones because they treated Ben like a big kid and made him get an IV while awake. It made it pretty hard. Not to mention the Covid rules, hence the mask. 

We added an extra dose of reflux meds and will rescope in July. I pray his esophagus looks better!  

Ben, you are my rockstar!

 

Hayden turns 2

Happy 2nd birthday to my amazing Godson Hayden!  Time is flying by but you are so much fun and I love watching you grow and learn!  

 

Trip to Florida

What do you do when your whole family had Covid and desperately need some warm and sun after a tough year?  

I did something I have never done!  I bought four plane tickets, rented an apartment, and rented a car. Four days later Maggie, Connor, Ben and I went to Florida. It was so amazing!  The sun and sand were the best medicine for our souls. I only wish that Chris and Katelyn could have joined us. 

Someday I want a small house down in Florida so we can spend the majority of the winter were it is warm and I can spend days in the sand. I’m not sure I can convince Chris though!
