Our first ER visit!

The day we closed on our new home Blake had his first ER visit, yes at the ripe old age of 1 he has already seen the ER and rode in an ambulance! While Josh and I were signing papers to close on the new home Blake proceeded to kick himself off the kitchen table and onto the hardwood floors at GiGi's house. Blake was sitting in his booster seat which was attached to the kitchen table chair while he was eating lunch when he kicked himself backwards! Long story short is that after the fall he starting trying to fall asleep and grabbing the back of his neck so GiGi began to worry, she called the ambulance and they came and took them both to the ER to have x-rays of Blake's head and neck. Josh and I met them at the ER and by this time Blake was acting "normal" but the doctors thought it was best the make sure everything was all right. Needless to say Blake is fine, x-rays did not show any fractures or breaks but they did say he probably suffered a mild concussion. A lesson welled learned for sure and a very scary moment that I hope we will not have to encounter again, although if he is anything like his daddy we have got a long rode ahead. We thank God and his angels for taking care of him and watching over him each day and particularly on the harder days.

Ono Island 2009

Blake in his Jimmy Buffet outfit, we were headed to LuLu's, Jimmy Buffet's sisters resturant

DeeDee had this bicycle seat put on uncle Blake's old bike, I loved to ride with daddy!

Blake had is first encounter with uncle Chuck's boat, I will have to say he was not to fond of it, but I think it had a lot to do with this uncomfortable life jacket!

Just hanging out at the beach!

Blake loved the ocean!!

I am pleased to say our Ono visit this year was much better than last!! Blake really enjoyed the beach and mommy was so so thankful!!!
