It's been so long!!

I can't believe it's been so long since my last post!!! Time flies:) Where should I begin? Life for a moment seemed normal... We have been on vacations to San Diego and the white mountains. Brody enjoyed his first lake trip, along with many other firsts since my last post! Life has been good! Brody has been good!! Besides the fact he's fiesty as EVER, he is somewhat of a handful:) He did go thru a biting, hitting, pinching, temper tantrum phase but he is somewhat comming out of it. I have had countless people tell me it's because he's a boy, but I don't think I agree completely with that! I think it's because his name is Brody Burk... AKA Bad behavior.... According to family he is just like dad! Dad of course says he is just like mom! I think he's a little of both that's why he's so AWESOME!! On the flip side of that... He is such a lover... He's learned and perfected the open mouth kiss... The hug with the pat... At night he wants dad... He loves when Seth rocks him to sleep! This gives me a chance to tuck in our 1st grader!! 1st grade is alot of work... For Seth and I! Charli has an hour if homework every day along with gymnastics and dance four days a week. Charli is a busy girl and and is such a sweet girl;) ( most of the time). Brody's heart has done well this past year and we couldn't be happier! A few of his favorite things are his sister... His 3rd word was sister:) First word was ball. He would sleep talk about balls... He loves balls! Needless to say we have an endless number in our house! He loves to be out and about... Super friendly, he tells every single person he see's HI... And Bye.... A quick undercover run to the grocery store is not possible with him:) this little guy has an infectious personality that doesn't go missed! He draws unbelievable attention wherever we are!! He is a ham I have to say... And a super cute one I might add!! The big news for Brody is that we will now be going to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for all if his heart care! CHOP is rated #1 in cardiac care and after long hours of research and research and research it only made sense to get our Brody the best Care! We head to PA in a few weeks to have an MRI and Possible angioplasty done. Brody's pulmonary arteries ( the arteries that go from his heart to his lungs are possibly narrowing, so angioplasty is where they go in and basically balloon them. He had this done after the second surgery, not a huge surprise but not something were looking forward to:( his last Echo here in Phoenix had some questionable issues, so a trip to Philadelphia is what he earned! Results from MRI will tell us exactly what we want to know, or what we don't want to know!? Either way it's a must and We are excited that he's going to CHOP!! I will keep up on my posts, We have lots of family and friends and keeping everyone updated is a task... This way is much easier! Kiss the ones you love!!! Love to all❤
