It's Over. (I Hope)

I have good news and bad news. We'll start with the bad news first - little Nicholas is sick. We picked up something somewhere and despite our best efforts he is now sporting a nice little fever and has tossed his cookies twice. My poor baby! I can now add being vommited on to my list of things I never imagined I could handle with grace. :)

I think the sickies are the result of WAY too much stress for our family. What with moving, trying to getting Mark working and other "stuff" has put a few chinks in our armor. Thankfully, we finally got to check one stressor off our list today - we FINALLY got to close on the business. It is ours! Lord help us....we probably are going to need it!

Yes, Dr. Rocco now has a place to hang his hat. How exciting, huh? Things finally worked out and tomorrow morning he'll begin his quest for chiropractic excellence and bringing wellness to every person he can get his hands on. ;) Please keep us in your prayers.

In other news, we are not yet moved in. We still have a POD sitting in our driveway and we're kind of stuck until we are able to get some help moving the big things out of it. This is tricky since a lot of things we might find useful are hiding behind the big things. But then again, we haven't even had a chance to put a lot of the small PODS contents away so maybe it's better that we can't move more boxes into the garage, eh?

Obviously, being sick has slowed us down somewhat with respect to the "moving in" process, but we have also been playing hooky a bit since we were able. We ventured up to Frisco, Colorado, this past weekend to visit with Mark's cousins Dan and Jimmy. It was so nice to meet them and for Mark to see them again as it had been quite sometime since the three of them were together. They and Julianna, Dan's sweet girlfriend, all enjoyed time with Nicholas and Nicholas just really took to all three of them (Dan will tell you he's the favorite of the three if you ask, though). I have some adorable pictures that I'll be putting up on his site as soon as I can get around to it.

And, that is another piece of good news that came out of the combination of being sick and being in Frisco - I've managed to add a ton of new pictures to Nicholas's website. We are caught up through Christmas with the little guy now except for the professional pictures we took at Christmas time, but we'll get those up very soon as well, I hope. That reminds me that I need to find a good kiddie photographer out here in Colorado as we are approaching Nick's 9 month birthday!

Let's see, other than that, I can't really think of anything important that I haven't mentioned so I suppose I'll be scooting out of here to go heat up some yummy soup that Nick's Auntie Noheilani (she calls him Makana...and I'm starting to pick up the habit!) made to help us all heal up fast. We have to send a big Mahalo (thank you!) to her and Mark's Dad for all their help in getting this business purchase through. :)
