Instagram Update

First I would like to say thank you thank you thank you to all who have bought shirts and donated to Jude's team for the Walk for Down Syndrome.  Erik and I truly can not express enough just how much it means to us.  When we began this journey when Jude was born we never would have imagined the amount of people who would step up and support not only us, but most importantly Jude.  He has changed our lives and it is extremely moving to see him touch other peoples' lives too.  So thank you.

Being so busy in school the only social network I have time for is instagram.  It is quick and easy and I become a stalker to other people.  I check it at least 20 times a day.  So why not share all of the pictures I post there? Granted I think Jude is in every picture, but you will just have to deal with it.

He does not enjoy all of his therapies.  But Tiffany, his developmental specialist, is probably his best friend.  



Came home from school to find a topless man running around my house.  At least he gives good kisses.

 Bad timing of the camera click


 Laughing with my parents


Books are becoming his favorite!


Lunch date with mommy and daddy.  Jimmy Johns didn't have a high chair so he got to sit in the booth like a big boy!



Sunday fort making and book reading








I can never say it enough.  I am in love with these two boys.  They make life so worthwhile and constantly keep me laughing.  I am going to take a moment to brag, Erik is finishing his Bachelor's in Biology at ASU where he will then apply for dental school.  He works full time (starting at 3:30 am!) and goes to school full time.  He is in the Elder's Quorum presidency in our ward (a leadership position over the men in our church), and somehow manages to make time for Jude and I, both family time and just he and I time.  He never complains and constantly builds me up.  He is a huge supporter of my schooling and is always pushing me to do my best.  I think I did a pretty good job in choosing my eternal companion!

Enjoy your weekend!
