Update from the Sutton Family...

First, let me say that these past few months have been such a trying time for our family. Zach has been a wonderful husband and my family has been soooo supportive through this medical trial. God has been faithful and so good to us. I am doing sooooo much better now and may still have some symptoms from my post partum thyroiditis, but I am definitely feeling back to my normal self!

Thanks for all the prayers and support!!

Mr. Beckett-boy is getting sooo big!!!! He had his first fever last week and I took him to the doctor--but they found NOTHING wrong, and the fever went away the next day--PRAISE GOD! He is 17 pounds and eating like a horse (AT NIGHT!) he snacks during the day and we are trying to reverse that. We moved his crib to our room last week because he still wakes up at night to eat. But this weekend, we finally put him back in his room----Evie is out of town with Mia and Papi, so we are working on getting him used to that room and trying to let him "cry it out" a little before she comes back. Hopefully they will be able to share the room!

On August 12th, I turned the big 2-7! YIKES, 27??!?! Where are my twenties going?! 27 seems so close to 30! We celebrated last Sunday with a BBQ at our house. Danielle's birthday was the 11th, so we had a double birthday party and it was sooo good to hang out with friends!

My mom took us to the Melting Pot on Thursday night to celebrate with the girls. Mom had never been, so it was such a fun time making a mess with out fondue! THANKS MOM! What a treat! Funny story--we asked our waitress how old she thought we were and she said that I looked 22 and Danielle looked 21! HA! YEAAAA!!! So glad I look that young! Danielle turned 25---We said it looked like out mom took us out to dinner...

Danielle and I finished our bithday week celebration this morning with double facials! THANKS for sharing Danielle!

On the day of my birthday, Zach took me to dinner at Franchesca's, a new Italian restaurant in Gainesville. It was soooooooooooo YUMMY! We had a great time just hanging out with each other. He also got me tickets to see a play at the Hippodrome---I can't wait to go!

Here we are with Evie after our birthday party. Oh yeah, Evie was walking around in the house with her crocs on (this is why Mommy says no shoes in the house). She tripped and fell right into the side of the wall...hitting her head and busting her nose. What a way to end the night!

The kids enjoyed the pool in the backyard during the party. Hillary, our great neighbor, bought some floaties and Evie loved wearing them in her little pool. Beckett didn't put his speedo on, he loves being NAKED!

Beckett and Evie with Papi last weekend. Her hair is getting so long and curly! I love it! Beckett is gaining some weight and closing in on Evie! Hard to believe that they will probably be about the same size soon.
