8 Months Old

(Please click on the photo to see more pictures.)

Today, Jake turned 8 months old! Michele and I are both off tomorrow, so we'll probably put him through the paces with the camera at that time. There could be some new photos as early as tomorrow afternoon (although maybe not until tomorrow evening).

On Saturday, Brian and Di brought Cooper down to play with Obie. He has gotten a lot bigger, and at times the dogs were even tough to tell apart. Brian took quite a few photos, so maybe there will be a blog post eventually.

Speaking of updated blogs, there's a new blog added to our list of friends. Mike and Melissa Noll (Ohio folk) are expecting their first, and as such, have started their own blog. You can find a link over on the right. Also, Jason (writing for Elle) has updated their blog as well. Be sure to check them out.

Happy belated birthday to Mark. He celebrated his birthday with most of the family on Sunday.

We, on the other hand, were up in Fenton for a pre-Thanksgiving feast with the Trosko side of the family. DLnC were there with Grandmama and Grandpapa Trosko (the last time I'll EVER refer to them like that in this blog - from now on GnGT). Great Grandma Remenicky (GGR) was also there along with Pete's cousin Joan. Barb, another of Pete's cousins, also stopped by for dessert. We had a great dinner, and I got to spend time playing trains with Colin and watching Cars.

In other news, Dan went through a successful laparoscopic surgery yesterday. He went into the hospital to have his mangina, er... hernia pushed back. Everything went fine and he's recouperating at home. He's even expecting to be able to partake in a Thanksgiving feast on Thursday.

Jake spent some time at the doctors and the medical supply store yesterday as he was diagnosed with bronchiolitis. We had to go and get a nebulizer for his breathing treatments. He sounds a lot better today and is also eating and sleeping much better (thank God). We'll take him back in on Monday to see if things are clearing up and to find out how much longer the breathing treatments will be necessary.
