A Few Good Quotes

"There is something so settled and stodgy about turning a great romance into next of kin on an emergency room form, and something so soothing and special, too." ~ Anna Quindlen

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'" ~Mary Anne Radmacher

Jonah Man

We love this guy. He is awesome. He is a big time performer and loves to make us laugh. Which he does All. The. Time. If he finds something that makes us laugh, especially Ruthie, he will do it over and over again. 
We've really seen him become a little boy in the past few months. Cars and trucks, especially the trash truck, have become a big draw. Last month when they were tearing up our sidewalk, I often found him like this: 
But while he looks tough, our little guy is just not hardy. We've really had a hard go with his health, as he's frequently sick and his sickness seems so serious. But after two recent trips to the doctor's, our pediatrician has diagnosed him with asthma and started him on a twice daily medicine that he takes via a nebulizer. She is hopeful (and we are too) that this will keep him from getting so sick in the future. It's been heartbreaking to watch him struggle for breath, and so discouraging when the slightest cold turns into wheezing and coughing for days. Anyway, we are praying this new medicine regime will really help him.
We love our Jonah-man and can't imagine our family without him!
