Julian, Johanna and Eden

Eden had the pleasure of spending the morning with Julian and Johanna yesterday. Indy not only watched our child but took some great photos of all three kiddos- we owe you big Indy!

Colorado- part II

The second part of our trip was spent in Denver with Mike's family. We got to hang out with cousin Lily and that's always fun. Mike's aunt, cousin and grandma came over to bring lunch and Eden slept the day away. I finally woke her up after 3 and a half hours. We tried to get a "reunion" pic of the three kids- it didn't work quite as well this time. Eden wasn't sure why Lily needed her watermelon and Lily wasn't sure why she didn't have any. Eden was excited to eat dinner at Noodles with Grandma before we went to VBS that night. Her new favorite food is mac and cheese. VBS was fun too. Eden loved the songs and kept signing "again, again", and became very upset when they didn't do it. We really had a great trip to Colorado. Eden and I were worn out by the end, but it was fun. There's a lot we didn't even include here, like seeing my dads family (sorry dad, I need some pics from you). Here are a few last pictures of our time in Colorado. We love you all and miss you terribly- Christy, Martha and Lily- can't wait to see you in a few days.

Catchin' Up

We've been a busy little Lair family! The first of this month Eden and I made our way out to Colorado, nothing like family and the Colorado mountains. We had a great time catching up with everyone. On Saturday Mom through a "come and meet Eden" party. It was a great way to get to see a lot of people we hadn't seen in awhile. Mom and I also got to make a trip to Chataqua Park for breakfast- an old tradition. Of course there was swimming, eating ice (Eden and Sammy's favorite) and some ribs and corn on the cob w/ aunty Y and company. More on our trip later, Eden and I are off to the park right now.

Happy Memorial Day!

Once again there's been a huge delay in blog posts- I believe it's due to the warm weather. Eden and I have been playing outside a lot and haven't felt much like being inside at the computer. For about a week and a half I was swamped with embroidery jobs for graduation. It was great for our budget, but not a lot of fun for Eden. We've made up for it with lots of fun in our "pool". So all of that to say- we are still here and well- just enjoying the weather before the heat sets in. Until the next post, here are some picturese for you all to smile at.

We took this video awhile ago when Eden started "her shakes". Thought we'd share it with you all, because it still cracks us up- enjoy!

One Year Ago Today!

We noticed purple dots on EdenWe were sent to Children's hospital because of Eden's LOW platelet countWe had no idea if Eden had Leukemia or ITPWe cried out to all of you for your prayers

We are so thankful to say that today Eden is ITP free! I know that we had a blog for a long time that was pretty much only filled with Eden's ongoing health saga and then we dropped it. I know that most of you know the outcome, but for those of you who don't- Eden received her last treatment in October of last year and was released from the Doctor in December. Since then Eden's ITP has (thankfully) become a thing of the past.
Although the worst of it is over, we are still in a great debate on the future of her vaccinations. We are very thankful though that this saga in our lives is over- so to all of you out there who lifted her (and us) up with so many prayers- a VERY belated thank you.

The Little Gym

Every Thursday Eden and I get to go to The Little Gym (because of a generous birthday gift from Charlie and Luke). Eden LOVES it. Today Daddy was able to join us and so I was able to snap some pictures. One of her favorites is putting things away, Mike and I are hoping this will continue as she gets older. She's definitely taking it all in right now. It seems like whenever you show her something she'll come back and do it. Today it was shaking her finger at you from 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed. Pretty cute, if I do say so myself.
