MARCHing along...

So far so good for 2009!

Archie had his routine 6 month cardiology appointment in January. He was semi-sedated so the echocardiogram produced some good clear pictures of his heart and pulmonary homograft. The graft is holding up well and should not have to be replaced anytime soon. Archie is off all of his medications too, which is wonderful! He's an active little guy and does laps around the house with his toy stroller. He is attempting to pronounce words like "apple" and likes to sing and dance to music, especially "Shout" by the Isley Brothers. Archie still has an oral aversion to solids but is doing well with other consistencies and will feed himself at school and at home. His preschool teachers are very proud of his progress since last August too.
He will be 3 years old on March 6th! and we will be celebrating at good old Chuck E. Cheese!


Josie turned 5 on January 29 and celebrated her birthday at our local dollar theater with her friends.

She finished up ballet/tap and gymnastics in January with a recital that her Grandma and Grandpa Haley got to see! T-Ball is up next, Chris has been practicing with her in the backyard and she's getting very good at hitting her Strawberry Shortcake ball with her Strawberry Shortcake bat and sliding into first! She was called in to audition for a couple of roles on In Plain Sight a drama on the USA network, but they told her she was too "bubbly" for the show! hehe


Chris is really looking forward to the TV digital transition on June 12, but would have been happier if it had been in February (Government's original plan). He is also planning a casting call event for America's Next Top Model and met one of the contestants from Albuquerque who was on the show! Cycle 13 will feature models who are 5'7" and UNDER which is a first. Chris is on a diet right now too and has lost a lot of weight! :))))


Robin is planning a possible road trip (with Josie and Archie!) to New York this summer to celebrate her Mom and Dad's 50th Wedding Anniversary and her 20th High School reunion! We will also be attending Albuquerque's 17th Annual Heart Walk for the American Heart Association which Archie will be walking in!

Thanks for checking-in on us and Happy Spring!
