Update

Things have been pretty calm here lately.  Jason is on a "dead period" for baseball this past week and next, so life has slowed down a bit.   He has been playing  A LOT of golf which he loves.   He doesn't get to play in the spring because of baseball so he plays a lot in the summer and fall.  He likes to do charity tournaments too.  He and his buds use golf for "guy time" and get competitive like little kids. It is hilarious!  

We went to mom's this past weekend and had a great time.  I got to see my friend Jennifer from high school who is expecting her first child. Jason played golf with her husband Josh and we all had dinner at my favorite restaurant, Harvey's.  It was so fun to see Jennifer. We have been friends our whole lives and have been through a lot of things together.  I am so happy that we have stayed friends and can experience having kids together.  I have stayed close with about 3 friends from school and now we all will have kids.   

The most excited thing that has happened this week is that my friend Carissa had her baby girl Mariella Marie.  She weight 6 lbs 11 inches and was 20 inches long.   She is so beautiful.  It brought back so many memories of when Chase was a newborn.  He was so tiny and she seems so tiny.  I remember how scared I was that we would break him.  In a few days she will look like a baby and not a newborn. Time flies so fast.   I know Carissa will be a great mom and Brad will be a great dad.   They are in for the joy of their life, but also have a lot to adapt too.  God is so good to give us such a miracle as children.  

Chase goes back to the gastro doctor on the 16th.  I pray that they do not have to examine him again.  That torments me and I left the room and cried the last time and made Jason stay in there.   I really don't want to take him back, but I know we have too.  

 He is getting a little better with going to the bathroom, but it is still hard.  Since we found out about Chase's stricture, I have talked to so many more people whose baby had the same problem.  I had never heard of it before.   This picture is one where I put the hat and sunglasses on him for fun. I LOVE to put him in hats, but he doesn't care for it too much.  He sure does look cute!  He has started making spit bubbles, giggling, and "talking" to us.  He is the most precious gift God could have ever given us. 

Finally, our cat, Little Man, has this string he is very attached to. He brings it and wants you to throw it for him.  He will fall asleep with it in his mouth and also brings it in the middle of 

the night for you to play with him.  It is hilarious.  Here, Chase is taking a nap and Little Man took Chase the string, layed down by him, and waited on him to throw it.  He doesn't understand that Chase can't throw the string.  It is so funny!!
