April Rewind

Aside from Tyson's first birthday, the month of April was so much fun because Tyson went swimming several times on the weekends. So far, he likes the water and really wants to explore without us holding him. He loves to slap the water and splash himself and others around him, drink the pool water, and try to crawl off the top pool step into deeper waters.

ONE!

Tyson is ONE!!! Adam and I cannot believe a full year has flown by since our precious little one entered our lives. Words cannot express how much Tyson means to us and all of the ways he has strengthened us individually, as parents, and our marriage. We love you Tyson Shea and cannot wait to see what another year will bring!

Happy #1

Bring on the cake!

Happy Easter

"After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lighting, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay." -Matthew 28: 1-6

TGIF!

As the saying goes, "when it rains, it pours". Yep, we've had one of those weeks and we've been waiting anxiously for Friday. Last weekend started off with Tyson's first ear infection, but he was a good sport about it and wasn't fussy. So, we were able to take him to his first Spring Training baseball game in honor of John's 60th Birthday! We had a great time at the baseball game, but things for our baby boy just seemed to head down hill from there. By Wednesday, he was diagnosed with bronchiolitis and he ended up staying home from day care the entire week. It has been tough to see Tyson not feeling well for days on end. On top of Tyson being sick, my car ended up in the shop for the week needing major repairs. To end on a good note, we've been blessed to have John and Marsha take good care of our little guy all week so we were able to work and allowing us to drive one of their cars while mine was in the shop.
Looking forward to a happy and (hopefully) healthy Easter!

Spring Break!

A week off from work is just what I needed! Life slowed down and I was able to enjoy some very special times with family and friends. At the start of my break, I was a bridesmaid in Ashleigh's beautiful outdoor wedding. She met her husband Josh at Challenger our first year teaching = office romances can work out. :-) Then my mom and I traveled to Cleveland to introduce Tyson to his great-grandparents for the first time. I enjoyed watching Tyson interact with my grandparents...it was a neat experience to see my son in their arms because I can remember them holding my brothers in the arms many years ago. I also got to meet my cousin's daughter Nora for the first time! Aside from seeing my grandparents, my time in Cleveland was busy spending time with Aunt Diane, Uncle Bill, Aunt Linda, Great Aunt Ethel, Great Aunt Kathleen, as well as, cousins, Kip and Kelly, Jenny, and David. I already miss Aunt Diane and Aunt Linda's cooking...

I'm Eleven Months Old Today!

Spring Fever is here = Tyson is a month away from turning ONE, Adam has been out of town for work this week, and I am counting down the days until my Spring Break.

Tyson has been up to some new things...

Dresser drawers

Tyson loves to play with our dresser drawers. We've now placed a box in front of the drawers to block him from getting his fingers smashed. The photos below are of Tyson enjoying the drawers one last time.
