Going on a trip

We had a fairly good summer with Jake, as you can see from the pictures on his site, but as of late he has been a bit unstable. We have maximized his medications and still are struggling to keep his glucose up in the right levels.

We are headed to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia next week for some specialized testing and possibly surgery. This will take several weeks but hopefully will help him in the long run.

Sitting on my own

Look at me, I can sit all on my own!

Out for a hike

The Godin family got us motivated to take a walk in the forest. As you can see, we had a good time.

Jake and Elyse

Here is a picture of Elyse and Jake sporting his new haircut.

Vacation Collage

Here are a couple of shots from our vacation to New Brunswick this year.

Layin' Around

Here is quick shot of Jake posing, on our way back from New Brunswick. What a little cutie. This is before the haircut, wait until you see the after shots.

Grandpa's chair

Karin and Gary's Cottage

Having a swim at the cottage. He didn't complain for one second of his swim. Note that daddy is wearing a t-shirt because he cooked his tummy in the sun the day before, tsk tsk.

Surprise

This shot was taken from the floor, right in front of Jake. He was having quite a happy afternoon that day, Aug 8, 2005.

First haircut

Jake getting his first haircut. He looks a little scared, but made it out unscathed.

Jake, 5 months.

He sure is happy!!

Happy boy

We made it!!

First Day of School

It feels like the first day of school. You know the day. When you pick out your clothes the night before and can't get to sleep because you are so excited for tomorrow to come. Butterflies in our stomach to say the least.

We are headed to see Jake. To see how his night was. To chit chat with the doctors on his progress. We will have the car seat close by. Ready. Are we ready? Can't say. We feel ready. Still have to pickup diapers. And the rollershade for his window was ordered last night.

Keep your fingers crossed. I know mine are.
