June 2009

Alex (2 yrs): Well, I made it slightly bumped and bruised into my second birthday. On my actual bday I had my ear tube put in and my adenoids taken out. Overall it went well and I recovered just fine. I had a fun month of presents and even a visit from Mimi. Unfortunately, just yesterday I was taking Molly's bowl to Mommy for some water and trip and landed on it, slicing my little palm open = 3 stitches. Otherwise I am looking forward to our 4th of July weekend in Disney. Come July 22nd we are heading north to Pa to live at Mimi and Pop's while Daddy deploys to Iraq come the end of August.

Amelia (11 mos): I am almost to my 1st birthday and doing well. I love to eat, in fact I think I eat more than Alex. I have started standing on my own (5-10s at a time) but slowly getting braver. I have become what Mom calls fiesty, b/c I no longer let Alex steal toys and drinks from me and let him know I am not happy with him!
