Big Boy








One week ago Drew weighed 10 pounds! He is growing so fast, we could never have imagined that he would do so well. It seems like it was such a long time ago that Drew was in the hospital, almost like a dream. We are excited for it to start warming up so that Drew can go outside, and visit his nurses! We are fortunate that he hasn't gotten sick or had any problems since he left the hospital. His eyes are doing really well and the doctor is confident that they will fully heal and mature well. Drew will probably have his hernia operation soon and then hopefully the rest of this year will be pretty uneventful. Drew loves to throw his little fits if he is being ignored or doesn't want his diaper changed, but he quickly calms with some attention and his binky:) We love him so much, and we are cherishing every second with him.

I'm not sure how a long distance relationship will work. I'll try to keep Jada in line while she's away, and have her visit your blog frequently. We're going to miss you guys.

Apparently you feel you can go weeks without updating this blog. Now that some of us are far away we need more than that from you so quit slacking! Hey. Sorry I didn't make it over before we left town. This last week got a little crazy! If you'll still have us we need a place to crash from June 11-15. I found a link to an alta class of 2000 page. Visit, post, pass it on. http://altaclass2000.blogspot.com/ Miss and Love you guys!

Jenn! This is Jill (Vance). I just read through your blog...wow! What a fighter you have been blessed with. You guys must have had some incredible experiences. That's so neat! My little 5 mo old cousin spent time up at Primarys a few months ago before passing away. It was a neat time for our family. They are great up there. I'm glad your little guy is doing well. It's neat to see the progress in your posts. You look happy! Glad to see it!

Hey Jenn! I hope you don't mind but I found your blog from my sister and I'm so glad I looked at it. This is Natalie (Vance) by the way. Your little Drew is amazing! I can tell you and Eric are so strong to be able to handle all the ups and downs you have had. You guys are amazing. I'm so glad your little guy is doing so well! What a blessing!
