No Pictures, but here is some news

Can you believe that I am just now looking at the blog after a few weeks??? Here are some updates for you...

The teeth look great! Two big un's on the bottom! Sharp little suckers too!

Porter came home! He was wandering for 8 days! He came home the same day Bryan got home from training! Weird! He was a bit skinny but none the worse for wear.

I have not seen anywhere on the blog but Christian did have a small stroke around the 26th of last month. He is recovering quickly and you cannot even notice anything happened. He has some left side weakness but that is improving everyday. Where he had no movement he now does and he grips with his left hand now but it is just a bit weak. Other than that he is doing great. He goes to the doctor Wednesday and we will see if he gets to take his nose noodle out. He will be so much happier without the feeding tube!

I went on Friday and kidnapped Christian. He got to spend the night with me and Pappy without mom and dad! He did great. Slept like a baby. Up every 2 hours. But he would drink a bit of his bottle and go right back to sleep. He was so wonderful. Bryan and Nicole came over Saturday night to get him and also to enjoy a BBQ here. I made terriyaki chicken out on the grill. I knew that Bryan is not a huge chicken fan so I made him burgers.

Anyway, that's about all for now. I will work on some more pictures. I actually have some but I am on hubby's computer and it for some reason does not like to load pictures. So, I am sure Nicole will add some soon.

Thanks for popping in and checking on us! We love you all!

6 Months!

Happy six month birthday to Christian! Yay! I can't believe that he is half a year already! Amazing! Not too much to report since Saturday. Porter is still missing :( We'll keep looking for him though. Ohana means family... family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. Bryan gets to come home on Sunday! Can't wait! Here's the best picture I could get of little one's two bottom teeth!


The two teeth he worked so very hard on!

Huston, we have a tooth! Make that two!

Yay! Christian has been working very hard at getting those suckers to come through. One came through yesturday and the other is just now getting through! As you can imagine, I am thrilled that I may be able to get a moment's peace from the constant crying that tags along with those pesky first teeth. He has been in a wonderful mood today though. Gramma Sharon took him for the day so that I could look for our puppy Porter. Both him and Onyx got out this morning, and only Onyx has returned. Keep your fingers crossed for his safe return. Bryan is doing great over in Denver. He can't wait to get home, but has passed every test. He should be getting home on the 18th of this month. Happy Mother's Day to all of you ladies with babies! Single dads too! I'll post pictures as soon as I can get Christian's squirmy little tongue out of the way of those pearly whites!
