The view from our hotel room! We could not have asked for more, it was perfect!



Daddy gave me a big boy hair cutt, Mommy was very sad to see my curls go.





Hi everyone ! I wanted to update you real quick.

After an stressful and tiring few weeks I am happy to say that our little mickster is finally virus free!!!

Even though most would never know he was sick by looking at pictures because he was always smiling ear to ear.

I am telling you he gets cuter by the day!


He gave us quite the scare with temps reaching 103.8 for three days and low sats. We were relieved Once the doctors determined that it was only a viral infection and it had to runs it's course. They were all very concerned with his high temp and that it lasted so long , but our fighter fought right through it.

Everyone in the hospital LOVED Michael they kept saying he is the BEST baby they had ever had in the ER!


He truly is amazing!




So after a few weeks of complete stress, my body went on shut down mode. After going a hundred miles a minute for a year, one needs a break.

My in laws knew this and insisted on sending us away for a long weekend. We were so grateful for their generosity it was the best gift one could ask for! We certainly were not expecting it and what a wonderful surprise it was!

Thomas and I were thrilled of the idea of a vacation, where we have not been away just the two of us in almost three years! ( Sad I know)

The other piece of the puzzle was finding the perfect person to watch our Michael, and who better then my mom. It just so happened that she was about to have her spring break from school and offered to cancel her vacation plans. and instead watch Michael. She too insisted on canceling her vacation plans because she knew how badly we needed a vacation. She was also excited about the idea of spending time with Michael. My Dad still can't travel because of his knees. We are hoping they will get better soon.


We had to act fast and booked a last minute trip to Bahamas! This was just what the doctor ordered for us. We relaxed for the first time in a long time for four whole days ! We had perfect weather, most beautiful room over looking the ocean it was a perfect vacation.

Although I called in at least five times a day just to hear Michael's voice because I missed him so much, I did not worry about him once. That was the greatest feeling. Having my mom and Caitlin watch over him was also a wonderful gift.

My mom reported back that he was so lovable a true joy, always smiling and laughing. I said, I know he is just the best baby!

The best part about the end of our vacation was our excitement to see our little babe. We couldn't wait to get back to him.
Our vacation was a perfect amount of time.

We are so thankful for our parents to have made our vacation happen. They have done so much for us, we are blessed.



Last but not least our miracle Michael is turning ONE!!!!!! Holy Moly the day is almost here ! I cry every time I think about it.

Invitations are in the mail. The party is set for May 16th on our roof top ! Please mark it on your calender, I know it is a busy season so don't worry it you can't make it.

It will be the most wonderful celebration of LIFE!!


Thank you for your love and support,


Love to all
