John Deere Man

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Lately Kevin has been very into our lawn mower. If he sees it, he points, giggles and takes off after it. He loves to sit on it and pretend he is driving and push all of the buttons. If he is removed from the lawn mower you will see a ...

Our little runner

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

This past Friday, Kevin ran the Jr. Bix. He and the other one year olds went seventy yards and got a medal at the end! Kevin had a great time and was very pleased with his medal. In preparation for the run, I bought him some new shoes. ...

Summer Fun

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

Summer has been great and Kevin is enjoying every day of it. He loves to be outside and has a great time in the swimming pool. He likes to "jump" in and doesn't mind going under the water. He is quite the thrill-seeker and isn't afraid of climbing up on ...

Little Walker

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

Kevin continues to do very well. He started walking! Most of you have seen him walk, he has this sense of independence that is hilarious. He will take off down the street without looking back and doesn't care if I follow him. He is also climbing things. He is very ...

May 2007

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Kevin is now 18 months old and doing well. He's babbling a lot more and says at least 10 words well enough that we can understand him. He's continuing to develop quite a strong attitude, and he wants absolutely everything to go his way or he screams and has ...

It's been over 3 months since we last updated this site - sorry! It's been a busy winter for us, with Kevin being sick almost continuosly since late November. He had just about every kind of virus that went around this winter. We were able to keep him ...

Back Home

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

Kevin was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday Nov 29 and is happy to be home. He came home on antibiotics, breathing treatments, and steroids - but most of those he will end by the weekend. He is almost back to his normal self, crawling around, getting into things, babbling ...

In The Hospital

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

Almost two weeks ago, Kevin caught the stomach virus that is going around everywhere and ended up in the hospital overnight so they could watch for dehydration. He did fine and was released the next day (this was before thanksgiving). We thought we were done with sickness once ...

Thanksgiving

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

Thanksgiving will always be an emotional time for us. It was this time last year that we were in the midst of Kevin's medical crisis. Matt and I came home from the Hospital last Thanksgiving for a short visit. I remember telling myself not to go into the room ...

Happy Birthday!

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

Kevin turned one today! It's hard to believe that it has been a year since we arrived in Iowa City, expecting a short stay for a pacemaker installation and instead getting a 6-week stay with lots of complications. It's amazing to be where we are today, with a little boy ...
