Shooting star- the wildflowers were beautiful

The last post seems like a season ago. Our lives have changed that much in a month. You never know how life will surprise you and take the normal away.it just happened. Everything is different and I have no idea what normal is anymore, or at least my normal is gone. My dad, Jon, is sick. He had a heart attack June 13th and he is still in the hospital. He had a triple bypass procedure to fix his heart and today the dr put a pacemaker in today. Dad is doing better, slowly. Everyday there is a surprise or an event. No more simple and it makes me hold my breath. I went there, Tacoma WA, for 12 days. Gabe went with me.

I came home on a wednesday and by Saturday Gabe came down with hand foot and mouth disease. For the next weeks I stayed home with a sick baby. At the end of the week we've had enough and needed a break. Everyone was healthy and it was safe to rest.

<<SORRY BUT I HAD TROUBLE EDITING THE PICTURES AND SOME ARE DOUBLED OR OUT OF ORDER>>

"Youre not going to eat that, are you??"

"You did it, you put it in your mouth..."

House make over

We took the family to Branham Lake in the mountains outside of sheridan, mt. It was everything that we needed to recall rate and function again-the alpine lake, wildflowers, fish jumping, sleeping on the earth and being together without any distractions.

So happy to be camping!!

"Hello-this is me, is this you?"

Happy to be outside

'milo' and Gabe are forming a nice sleep bond-finally!

Then we came home and the next day I got a call that my dads heart stopped and we were all on a plane again to see dad. When we got there, they were able to get him back. Another successful procedure towards having dad back-another chance for Jon. Gabe turned 1 while we were visiting and we got to have my dad see him on his birthday and took him to the zoo. All of our plans were out the window but we did get to enjoy a simple day together celebrating life and a great start to a little boys life.
