Trip-New Bed

We went to Utah the first two weeks in August and had a great time! To much fun I think. It made it hard for me to be home. The first few days we where able to go camping with the Johnson family. SO much fun! I feel so bad because the whole trip I didn't take any pictures. Grandma Johnson go's to so much work and we all have a great time. I can't wait until next year! The rest of the week was busy with helping family, Birthday celebrations, shopping, and relaxing. Derek had to get back to work but I was able to stay another week. I headed over to my parents house. The week was full of lunch appointments....So much fun! I got to see allot of people. Thank you for taking the time to see me!! I love and miss you all. My mom was good to work around lunch appointments to watch Deacon. It was some well needed time away. Thanks to EVERYONE. Many of you took us to dinner and went out of your way to make our trip fun.. Thank you!!

We where able to bring home a twin bed from Utah..Thanks to Family! I have to say I was not looking forward to the day I put Deacon in a big boy bed....I liked having him in a crib for so long. I liked that he HAD to stay in it... A few weeks before we went I changed his crib into a day bed or whatever you want to call it. To get him use to it. He liked it but wanted to get out, all the time. When we got home I put the new bed up and left the other one because I wasn't sure if he would like it or not. Let's just say he hasn't been back to his crib. He LOVES the new big boy bed He is doing so good in it. He used to cry for me to stay in his room until he fell asleep and now he let's me go..It's great! Maybe it was time. ( : I guess he didn't like being trap in there, like I liked. ( :


Taking a nap in his new bed

Now, I'm finally getting back into the routine of things here. We are HOPING Derek will be testing in November so he can be done with the prosthetic part. In February he will be done with his last residency in orthotics. YEAH! Just a few test after that. We are getting SO close. I just can't wait to settle down and have a few things behind us.

It's so nice when there is a light at the end of the tunnel. That's great that the bed transition went so well!
