Four Months in Review

It has been a busy four months. Here is the brief version of our recent family history.

October brought the burial of Grandpa Beck, our third wedding anniversary, and the birth of Joseph all on one day: 15 October. Joseph spent five days in the NICU because of his mysterious hypoxemia. We finally got him home though, he remains on a small amount of oxygen when he sleeps. Hopefully he will grow out of it soon. November brought a lightning-fast voyage in the Beast out to Modesto for Thanksgiving with the Becks. December was finals month and Christmas in Vegas with the Wells. January was the month of sickness; when we were not sick at home, we were spending five days in the hospital with Joseph (thank you, RSV). In February, we are simply enjoying being a happy family. On 15 February we celbrate our 40th monthiversary!
Best wishes to all. Enjoy the photos.
