Tonight 2016 ends and I am sad to see it go. What a BIG year for our family, with so many HUGE changes.
In January we traveled to Hong Kong and met our son. We brought him home and began our life as a family of three.
In February We had our first IEP Meeting and began the process of getting Connor enrolled in PreK. Connor had several doctor appointments and his first echocardiogram ( at home.)
In March Connor had his first surgery. It was extremely difficult to leave my baby and watch the nurses carry him away. He did extremely well and its then we realized just what a tough cookie our little man is. Connor also started PreK and It was the first time I ever left him anywhere. It was a rough beginning but we adjusted and Connor quickly fell in love with school and his therapies began.
In April a even bigger adjustment came as Jeremy and I went back to work. This was very hard on Mama and Connor at first, but over time we finally got into our routine and its not the end of the world like we both thought it was in the beginning.
Then came May, June, and July. We spent time out in the sun and just enjoyed life and continued to adjust as a new family.
In August We went to court and we adopted our sweet boy and He was declared Connor Thaddeus Malone!
In September we celebrated Connors fourth birthday ( his first birthday with us). We celebrated with a birthday party at Jumpin Shack with friends and family. Connor had a great time!
In October we enjoyed our first Halloween together. We loved getting to dress up as a family!
In November We celebrated our first Thanksgiving together. Even though Connor was sick we tried to make the best of it. However things got tough and extremely scary as we experienced Connors first ride in a ambulance and hospital stay. It was by far one of the scariest and hardest things I have ever done as I walked behind my baby strapped to a gurney and held on tight to his fire truck feetie pajamas.
In December Connor had another ER trip and more dr appointments then I can count. He just could not seem to stop getting ear infections. When He finally recovered from the ear infection, we werent out of the woods yet because Connor got a upper respiratory infection. In the mean time we celebrated our first Christmas together and had a wonderful time. Connor continues to feel cruddy, but we are hopeful the medicine will kick in soon and Connor will make a full recovery.
2016 was the best year of our lives by far!!!! We hopped on the parenthood train and held on tight, It wasnt perfect and it has been a bumpy ride, but we are so thankful that we get to experience the good and bad of parenthood. We love Connor so much and 2016 has been a incredible year for our family!!!
We cannot wait to see what 2017 holds for our family of three.
