MICKEY MOUSE! MICKEY MOUSE!

We were lucky enough to walk into Disneyland and be greated by Mickey Mouse walking out of the back area. He waved us over and we were first in line to get a picture! Jonathan was so excited!!!! He didn't want to leave, he didn't cry or anything but Edith had to draw his attention elsewhere so we could get away...yet all down Main Street he kept trying to turn around and go back and see his friend Mickey Mouse! After all the trips to Disney, and a few Disney movies starring mickey, Jonathan now says "mi mouse..mi mouse..." when he see's mickey! :)

Everything is going well here, I don't think Edith or I have gotten used to the time change yet....even though it has been a couple weeks now. DOH!

Haven't updated the blog in a long time, it seems to get more and more difficult to do so.

Jonathan is a little sick right now, nothing to bad, still running around and being wild and crazy, just with a snotty nose! He amazes us with how smart he is, the words he can say, or tries to say, and even more so in the way he tries to copy everything his mommy and daddy do. From climbing up onto chairs to drinking out of water bottles, to laying down in the bed and getting under the covers.

Jonathan is progressing in that he doesn't need to be rocked to sleep anymore, but he still wants somebody next to him, holding him, as he fades off to sleep. Progress.

He loves to eat! He is a little picky and is happy to share whatever he doesn't like with Chiquita!

It has been a crazy month, not sure where it has gone. We got back and were sick for awhile, then I had to start playing catch up for work. Too many things coming last minute. Last week we went to Megan's wedding in vegas. Because of issues at the hotel we ended up dring out Saturday morning....and comng back Saturday night. So that was an adventure.

Yesterday I had my two wisdom teeth on my right side pulled out, so I am recovering from that. I am happy to say everything seems to have gone very well.

Jonathan, after being sick the first week of the month, and losing a couple pounds, is now packing it on. He loves fruit, spagehetti, chicken nuggets, and even his veggies, carrots seem to be his favorite. He will still eat some gerber food, but seems much more happy with taking stuff off the plate of mommy and daddy.

Disney World Mosaic 2009

This is a cool mosaic I made out of all the pictures from vacation.

All is well in the house, everybody is feeling better for the most part. Jonathan, since coming back from vacation has started eating a lot more "grown up" foods. ADIOS GERBER!

Things are a little crazy between work, we are doing sound for a big event that isn't an Army event but we are taking part in it and have been asked to cover a couple main stage mics. But the logistics are starting to get a little....well lets just say it isn't going well.

That is early Saturday morning then the family is rushing off to Vegas for my cousin megan...well cousin's kid, wedding. GOOD TIMES GOOD TIMES!!!!

Our trip to Disney World was great. We had an awesome room, good weather, good food, lots of fun. The pictures tell a lot of the story of where we went and what we did. I planned on going into more detail now but can't yet......why? Well Jonathan is sick and is taking up a good amount of time and energy.

He got sick Thursday morning, the day we left, it made for a interesting flight back home, him vomiting every couple hours, but he did great and slept most of the way. Edith and I also started getting sick these last couple days. Yesterday we thought he was almost all better, over 24 hours without an "incident", when he woke up from a late afternoon nap covered in throw-up. So we started the process over, building him up on liquids again. Sadly tonight we thought again he was doing fine, until 30 minutes a go, before going to bed, up came the days liquids.

He is sleeping now, and we are heading for the doctor in the morning to see if they can figure out anything else in person that they couldn't over the phone.

Please keep Jonathan and us in our prayers.
