Taco Tuesday!

Hey everyone, I know it's been too long. So here's the plan. I'm going to give you some tidbits of info and then we'll go into a photo tour of the last few weeks.

Here goes:

I've seen my pediatrician, cardiologist and had my post-op eye appointment. They've reported that I'm looking healthy, I've finally passed the 20 lb. mark, surrendered all oxygen still left in the house (no more O2 caution sign on the door of the house - too bad, I think lots of people thought it was a no solicitors sign), have to continue with heart medicine - but only for another six months, the eye looks pretty good, and I have eczema on my chin. Overall, I think those are all signs that I'm in pretty good health - at least nothing out of the ordinary.

Mom and Dad have been keeping busy with going to classes on how to stay in the know with all of my care issues for the rest of my life - they're overwhelmed, but really excited about all of the information.

We had all these loud and crazy people at our house this weekend... turns out they were Mom's college friends and G-pa and G-ma E. all in town for Molly and Chris's wedding. I liked all of the people, they watched me do my bear crawling and all commented on the length of my hair. It was a houseful, but I like all the excitement!

Here begins the photo tour:

Mom and Dad had tacos tonight - I had refried beans... they're one of my favs!
I hear beans are good for your skin - thought I'd try it out.

Some of the Dordt alumni hanging out at Molly's wedding.
L to R: Tonja, Renee, Kurt, Mary, Lyndsay, Mom and Dad (he's the odd ball - he's a CU Buff)

Here's Molly and Chris making an entrance at their reception.

Mom, Dad and Scott and Andrea got to sit together at the reception - they drank all the wine - if you really knew my parents, you would know that that's a lie... Mommy drank all the wine, just kidding!

Grandma, Kelly (Molly's mom) and Gert were all friends when they went to Dordt College - a few years ago! This one goes out to Button - you know who you are!

The "just slightly" older college buddies.
L to R: Gert, Gord, Kelly, Ray, Grandma and Grandpa.

Grandma gave me a bath in the sink when she and Grandpa were taking care of me... I was like, "Guys, I'm way too big for the sink, I take may baths in the bathtub!"

Me and Mommy in front of the flatirons in Boulder when Trent and Julie were visiting.

Trent, Julie and I in front of the same back drop.

Trent and Julie wanted to go to Casa Bonita while they were here.
I didn't have quite as much fun as they did - the guy with the cap gun freaked me out!!

My pacifier was a trusted friend at Casa Bonita... but in the meantime, I like being close to Mom and Julie too.

We celebrated Aunt Julie's 21st birthday, Mom and Dad's 4th anniversary, Trent's 1/2 birthday, and my 16 month birthday all with one cake!

Mommy went to a fashion show in Denver to benefit the Global Down Syndrome Foundation.
Mommy doesn't get dressed up that much, so we had to have a photo of the occasion.

Val and Jer came to visit from G. Junction one weekend. Jer had awesome tickets to a Broncos game - Daddy graciously accepted the invitation and thoroughly enjoyed the 4th row seats of a spectacular win over the Patriots!

Just me hangin' out at home - Mom thought I looked all grown up in my pigtails.

Hope you enjoyed the quick catch up on our lives!
Love you all,
Lydia
