Shuttle Launch & Mayo visit

Today marked the milestone of the Final launch of Atlantis and of NASA's shuttle program (1981-2011)...

On our way to Jacksonville for Eddie's Mayo appointment,
we joined the crowds to witness this moment in history.

Avery didn't quite get the best view of the launch... it was a little dark in my belly!

Ali anxiously awaited the big launch... this wasn't her first shuttle viewing!

Our view from the cape (on a cloudy overcast day)

After an exciting shuttle launch, and lots of traffic... we made our way up I-95 to the Mayo Clinic.

Dr. Jaeckle said Eddie's scan looked identical to last years,

which was "Absoutely Outstanding"!!!
This was incredible news 1 week prior to the birth of our new little girl -

It has been 1 year since the last scan, and 4 1/2 years since the big surgery.

Our prayers have continued to be heard and we are forever grateful!
GOD IS SO GOOD!

I love you Eddie! You are a wonderful husband, friend, and father!

We had tons of fun this 4th of July with Nana, Guga, Aunt Amie and Ali's 3 cousins!
Our traditional Holden Beach trip was relocated to Melbourne Florida this year since I was 38 weeks pregnant and only 1 week away from meeting our new little girl!
