We just got back home from a week away in Indiana. Brad's sweet grandmother, Grandma Jean, passed away and we were able to go home for her funeral, and to spend time with our families. While we were so sad to say goodbye to Grandma Jean, it was a neat time of celebration of her life, and to spend time with family from across the country. We are so blessed to have families that are just A-MAZING. We're thankful!
We were able to sneak a visit in to see Uncle Luke while we were home. Noah LOVED that!
We also were able to head down to Indy area to celebrate sweet Nora turning 1! It was so great getting to spend time with some great friends from home! We were even able to see El and Austin, and Jackie and Alex which was awesome! I think these kind of reunions should happen more often! :)
Back home in Austin we, of course, headed right on out to the Big T when we landed! Missed those sweet peeps out there in the big T!
Today, Noah spent another 2 hours at Dr. Caldwell's. The lab tech offered to pitch us a tent so we could just move in. Sad truth that we are there that often. That they know us by name. Noah just walks around like he owns the place. He was out exploring when Dr. Caldwell came out of a room and little man got the biggest smile on his face. Even Noah knows that guy is fantastic. This time our dude scored a visit with an ENT for possible tubes in his ear (THANK GOODNESS) so hopefully in April we'll have a plan for that. Dr. Caldwell really feels this is all reflux so we are praying that the scope/swallow study will show this to be true.
On another note, it's funny how even after almost 5 years here in Texas, two different places can feel like home. On Monday, when we landed, it was like a *sigh* "Home!" We had a wonderful week and we were so sad leaving....but then we landed in Austin, and again *sigh* "Home!" (I'm not sure how to type out what I mean by those-hope it makes sense) We went out to Taylor, made nachos with our community group, put the kids to bed, and sat around on the ground eating from the same tray talking and laughing. And I thought...holy cow. How cool, and yet so strange, to feel so at home in two completely different places. Weird. But very cool, and super thankful for friends and family across the country that we love.
That's it. Probably time to unpack. :) Hope you have a great week!
