Birthday Party

Monday, November 5th, 2007

Kevin had a blast at his and Emily's birthday party over the weekend. We had a small get-together, and he gave everyone big hugs and smiles. He also danced like a madman every time he heard any music! And here is his 2nd birthday video:

Happy Halloween!!

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

We have been busy this week with costumes, pumpkin carving and Halloween parties. Emily decided to be Hermione Granger, from the Harry Potter books. Kevin is a skunk. I decided it was quite appropriate. And true to form, he looks absolutely adorable in it. Kevin got to carve ...

It was Bound to Happen

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

On Thursday Kevin tripped over a pillow that had got knocked off of the couch and fell into the coffee table. When I picked him up blood was spurting everywhere. I stayed calm(not sure how I did), took him in the kitchen and tried to see where all the blood ...

Pacemaker Checkup

This past Sunday we went to Iowa City for the Heart Friends picnic. Heart Friends is a support group sponsored by the hospital. We met lots of other parents of kids with heart defects, some more serious than Kevin's, some less. We talked with Kevin's Dr.'s -- it was nice ...

The Joy of Sharpies

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

This morning I was checking my e-mail and not really paying attention to what Kevin was doing. He was busy as usual. He got down a basket of multi-colored Sharpies. Of course, he took the lid off of the orange one and proceeded to add his delightful artwork to the ...

Big Boy Bed

And so it starts….

Friday, August 24th, 2007

I was really hoping that cold/flu/asthma season would hold off a little longer. No such luck. Kevin went to the Dr. yesterday after a few sleepless nights and some pretty miserable mornings. He was prescribed steroids and Xopenex. He weighed in at 23lbs, which for him is awesome. ...

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 ...
