2009, It was a good year!

Jonas is telling us he has had enough of being sick. "This year I am staying healthy!"

Family outing to the Gateway Children's Museum

Attempt at a family photo
Daddy & Jack 

This was on Ben's birthday. (Joe's sister is always teasing her brothers!)
Joe looks so much better at this birthday party compared to Ben's
2008 birthday party.

At this point, Jonas was just using his
port for his nightly IV antibiotics.

for his sister's birthday.
Happy Easter


 Joe loved to be at Sam & Ben's tball and soccer games!

Joe's 34th Birthday

Enjoying the outdoors

I don't know where we are....maybe the Todd's
family cabin??

Enjoying some TV after a Sunday dinner
 (I suspect its football)

Reading time

Joe is so creative!

The spider cake (its much better than I could ever do!)

Perhaps more football?! And unfortunately
this about the time Jonas started feeling sick again.
Can you tell he has lost weight?

Webster Christmas party. We make gingerbread
houses every year and the kids (and adults)
always have a good time!

Mine and Kaleb's (my nephews) birthday party
Joe completely shocked and surprised me by showing
up with a Cricut Machine! It was such
a generous gift and I had no idea he was
getting it! I hadn't even hinted I had wanted one.
But I loved it!

Sam & Joe singing at our Christmas Eve talent show

Joe getting his yearly South Park season for Christmas. He loved
that show! (I hated it. Although, yes,
occasionally I did laugh at it. Not very often!)

Merry Christmas!

As far as I can remember it was a really good year! For almost the entire year Jonas was pretty healthy. I think it was about September that he started to not feel good on a more regular basis. At some point Jonas had to go back on TPN, I wish I could remember exactly when that was, but I think it was around September or October of 2009.


 He started to loose weight again and his diarrhea got worse which caused him to be dehydrated. We felt like we were reliving the beginning of 2008. We were both so sad and discouraged that he had to go back on it, but we knew it would be the only way to keep his body nourished and hydrated.


 I am so thankful for the good memories I have of 2009, we had some really fun times together as a family. I wish I had thousands of pictures to document every good moment of that year, but I will cherish the memories in my mind forever.
