August 18, 2009 - from CaringBridge

Hey everyone,
We're back :-)  We have been so busy since our birthday that we haven't had a chance to update you!  We are so sorry, but mommy keeps us on a tight schedule!  We just got back from a great week at the beach.  It was better than our last trip because we could sit and play in the sand and the ocean without falling over.  We LOVED it!  Bonner loves to inspect all the seashores and I just like to wait and see if the water is really going to come back and touch my feet!

And, of course, we loved swimming in the pool, too!  We both love to "kick, kick, kick" our feet and "jump in"!  Mommy and daddy had a good time, too!  Mommy's mommy came down for a few days to take us to breakfast and see us swim and then some of mommy and daddy's friends, Chad and Sharon, came for a visit.  Everyone took good care of us and we had so much fun.

On one day (mommy calls it Friday), we went to see the surgeon and deliver all the donations to MUSC'S PCICU.  Mommy changed the picture so you could see the nurse practitioner and the surgeon that did both of my surgeries.  They were thrilled to see me and how much I had grown and how fast I can move!  And, of course, they were excited about the money.  We delivered $4,000 - CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?  Mommy and daddy couldn't believe how nice everyone was to donate to the cause!  Bonner and I thank you, too, because we know that the kids down there can use it!  I just laughed when I saw Dr. Bradley; mommy doesn't know this but I do remember him!

Well, we are still waiting to hear if we get to go to "school" this fall.  Mommy told us that they have one space but are still working on the other one.  Hopefully, it will work out because we love to play with other girls and boys!  Mommy is going to take us to a class at Gymboree and another one at Kindermusik, too, so we can see if we like that!  We better start working to pay for these "outings"!

Well, we think that's about it.  We aren't walking yet but we do like to stand and take a few steps to mommy or daddy's arms...or to chase Baxter!

Mommy told us to tell you that she will post some more pictures (she put a few here on the blog) from our summer and our birthday party for you to enjoy so "stay tuned"!

We love each of you and still talk about those of you that came to our birthday party!  We had so much fun and love to look at the pictures mommy took.  And, we thank you again for your support of MUSC and your love!

Love,
Ian and Bonner
