Conor turns ten

TEN YEARS OLD



TWO YEARS OLD



It seems like just yesterday that we were back in College expecting our first child.
I remember what it was like those days, dreaming of what our child would look like and what he would grow up to become. And all the unknowns of parenthood! We were truly blessed with Conor being our first child, he gave us new parents and easy path into parenthood with his calm easygoing personality. We are so proud of what he's become and what he's come through in these first ten years of his life. He was diagnosed at the age of six with Juvenile Diabetes and faced many things a child should never have to go through. He has grown into a responsible young man, a loving big brother, excellent student, and all around athlete. I couldn't be more proud of who he is and what he's become and just hope that the next ten years bring more good times and success for the future.

Conor's Birthday Zoo trip

Conor had his Diabetes appointment up at OHSU today. So we made a trip out of it. We have a Zoo membership so we get in free all year, so this was our fourth trip since March. It was cold today, but I found it to a very enjoyable visit. Our favorites spots were visiting the Elephants and seeing the new baby and as always the Apes. We finished the day off by meeting Sean & Anna at the Spaghetti Factory (Conor's Choice) and had a great meal.

Enjoy the Zoo Pictures

Shots today

We'll I put it off as long as I could. Steve and I needed shots for our travel in China and since the shots were part of a series we needed to get started. Well after speaking with the nurse we learned that Steve was behind on two other shots. So poor Steve ended up getting three different types of vaccines luckily they could combine two and he only had to get stuck twice. Chase went along with us and he told the nurse he wanted mom to get the two shot not dad, I said "what", I think he just felt sorry for poor dad.
