4 Months and 6 Years

Yesterday Charlie was 4 months old and it was our 6 year anniversary. Crazy-- 6 years has gone by fast and things are certainly different for Mark and I then they were when we first got married. I am so thankful God brought Mark into my life; he is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without his neverending support and encouragement. Thanks for a great 6 years Mark!

Ruby is still seizure free; it will be 6 weeks on Wednesday. We have 12 more days of the steroids. She is sooo chubby from them; we are very excited to get her off these meds, even though I am nervous about the seizures coming back. Hopefully they will stay far, far away!

Here are some pictures from the last several weeks.
