Later

16 months later...

...still climbing! Still giving me heart failure.


16 months later...

...still has the same kidney issues. Dang it!! Just had another renal ultrasound and appointment with his nephrologist. Kidneys are not any better, but not any worse. Focusing on the not any worse part. :)


9 months later...

...Caleb finished Joy School. He has had so much fun with it, and so have I!


Being hit by several Nerf balls later...

...Carson is out for revenge! :)


Several trips to Sea World later...

...yup...we still love it. (Can you tell? Carson is becoming quite the hammy these days. Perhaps we only produce ham bones.)


12 months later...

...Still thanking NCI for doing us that favor. Still thankful Chris now only puts in 40 hours a week. Still thankful he is happy doing his work now. Still happy he actually enjoys the people he works with now. Still happy we are now better off financially. Only thing left to work out is that dang health insurance...but that is a post for another day! (Yeah..ok, so that picture doesn't really go with that one. But it's the only one I didn't have a picture for and Carson is, I'm sure, happy about all the stuff mentioned above. :)

2 weeks later since Uncle Kody came for a visit...

...still missing him!


Too many years later...


...Chris still manages to get the craziest injuries in racquetball!!


4 years later...

...Caleb still just loves to help. He can do laundry by himself now. Granted...he has a difficult time reaching the stuff in the very bottom. No pun intended.


5 months later...

...I'd say Chris and Caleb's weekly violin lessons have paid off. This video was of a practice for the song they played in church today. Can't believe Chris picked up the violin for the first time just a short 5 months ago. Some people got it...I don't got it! A man of many talents, for sure. Speaking of talents, Caleb is doing well on the violin too and absolutely loves to go to his joint lesson with Chris and then out for dinner together afterward each week.

Soon I'll have to record Caleb playing too for your viewing pleasure. But later.

I can't believe chris is so good with the violin!!! I'm sure Caleb is doing awesome too.
Carson is so cute and like you say his kidneys arn't worse. That is good. You guys are such awesome parents, we look up to you guys.
Hope you are coming to visit soon...

Love this post. The video of Chris playing the violin is awesome. Way to be!

I love the picture of Caleb digging stuff out of the washer. It's hard to get to the bottom!

Your family is so cute. We miss you guys!
