Sliding into Second...

To say the last two years have flown by would be an understatement...

Andrew and I are so proud of who our little man is becoming. He is so intelligent, he loves to make people laugh and he loves to give "squeezes". He is by far our best accomplishment. We have been so Blessed to have such an amazing first child. He has definitely made us want many more children.(in God's timing)

Life is always an adventure with Ethan, he was recently diagnosed with Breath Holding Anoxic Seizure Disorder. This came after his second seizure about 3 weeks ago, he had another one just a few days ago while I was shopping in Sam's by myself. We are learning to deal with this one day at a time. He has a bag that has to be carried at all times that allows us to have his emergency seizure meds on hand. We have to learn CPR again, and he has to be kept by people who are familiar with the disorder and how to handle it when one happens, so its been a challenge. But luckily we have a very prepared Nana who watches him regularly and the church is working with us to have him in a ready environment.

We have learned to be very cautious of his environment, make sure he is neither overwhelmed or over-tired, this helps us have less seizures. Other than this, he is a very happy, healthy normal little boy. He loves dirt, painting, taking walks and especially playing baseball or basketball. Let us not forget his other favorite thing, the Wee Hills by Unc and Piggy's house... Daddy loves to drive really fast when we get to the Wee Hills and Ethan laughs hysterically every time...

Well the month of December has found us to be a very busy family. We have something to do every single day till January 8. Luckily this weekend, Andrew and I will be sneaking away to The Joule Hotel (Thanks to my job with The W Hotel. )and relaxing and enjoying Andrew's Firm's Annual Christmas Party, and doing a little Christmas shopping while we are at it. We are looking forward to a little time away from the hustle and bustle of daily life...

We hope all of you have a Merry Christmas! We love you all, and appreciate all of your support over the last few months. God is Good.

Love, ABE
