Hey everyone,

Sorry its taken me so long to post to the blog. I have heard from several of you, wondering when the next set of pictures would be posted. Finally...here they are!

Hudson is doing great. He is 16 weeks old tomorrow, and finally has solved our fears of sleeping through the night. He's really learned to do this now! He only wakes up once or twice a night, but usually goes back to sleep in seconds (as long as he has his pacifier). We'll need to "Furberize" him later - get him used to sleeping without his pacifer. He is a big boy, smiles a ton, seems to talk gibberish a lot, and getting good at reaching for things. He rolls over all on his own, and now likes to sleep on his belly! (Its scary leaving him like that, but he seems to do fine).

We're doing well also. Staying busy. We just got back from Andy and Missy's beautiful wedding at Clearwater Beach. Andy was my best man in my wedding, and he married a hometown sweetheart from Galion, Ohio! The wedding was a reunion of our close friends from high school, and a great chance to see the family in Tampa! Amy taught Jenny, Jeff, Nicole and I how to boulder, which was fun.

Nicole and Hudson went to Dallas to visit Barbara, who is doing as well as can be expected. Back in May she had a renal cancer resected, and we were hoping for cure. Unfortunately, her cancer recurred, and because of her rare type, there isn't a lot of established evidence for treatment. Fortunately, she was referred to a doctor in Dallas, just down the street from her house, who happens to be a national expert in the field of renal cancer. He has the second largest practice of kidney cancer in the nation! She is undergoing chemotherapy now, having finished 3 of 6-8 rounds. She is full of courage and love, and we are hoping for the absolute best for her. Hudson is her biggest cheerleader, and has special healing powers that will help her!

We want you to see some of our latest pictures, so click this link to see some more pictures. We wish everyone all the best!

Love,
Alan and Nicole
