Hi Everyone,
Ronan is getting so big. His Memere in Washington just bought him a ton of 18 month size pants and shirts and its a good thing too. I can't believe there was a time that 0-3 month onsies were to big for him. Right now we are awaiting the results of some blood work done on Ronan to see if he has the gene for Thalasemia Minor. His last couple of blood tests have shown low iron and so we want to confirm or rule out this genetic issue before proceeding with continued iron drops because no amount of iron drops will bring up his iron levels is he does in fact have Thalasemia Minor.
Other than that, we are also awaiting the return of Daddy. Ronan is able to look at a picture or video of Josh and say "daddy", so I am now ready for Ronan to get to know his daddy again and for Josh to get to know Ronan. Ronan has changed A LOT since Josh left 6 months ago. We hope is won't be too much longer. --- Cheers, Kristin.

Family and Friends
Hello
It has been a while since I have updated my blog site and after recent requests from both my husband and my mother, I decided to skip house cleaning and sit at the computer this evening. As you can see I have put some new photos up. My aunt passed away recently and I realized that I did not have any pictures of my family other than Josh and Ronan posted. So I went digging for some and found some of my best friends too.
A lot has gone down since my last post. Hurricane Katrina and the levee issues in New Orleans happened. My friends Jeanne (Pommie) and Heather (Petal) had to evacuate their homes due to Katrina. Heather has luckily been able to return to her home in Gulfport, but Jeanne has been transferred to Houston temporarily. Heidi (Veronica) is in Houston temporarily, but may be moving to Birmingham until she is able to return to New Orleans. What a mess! The Morning Glories partied many times in New Orleans.
More photos of Ronan to follow also. He is getting so big. He is 14 months old and running around everywhere. It is hard to believe that this little fella used to be stationary. He is starting to say some words and he understands so much. I was telling him today that I needed to clean the wax out of his ears and he reached up and touched his ear. We have not worked on identifying the ear yet. He's amazing an awesome.
Josh is still in Iraq. His estimated homecoming was supposed to be mid October sometime, but that has changed due to the damage to the Seabee Navy Base in Gulfport, MS. He is to be delayed approximately 4 weeks or so. This news was not unexpected nor is it upsetting because many of our Seabee families in Gulfport lost everything and I would be a selfish, horrible person if I expected the men and women of those battalions to pick up and leave for their deployment on time. I am truly sorry for everyone's loss due to the hurricane and hope that the support from the Seabee families at Naval Base Ventura County and all across the U.S. is far reaching.
