Florida Fun

It has been a busy couple months for the St. Pete Tompkins. We went to the zoo, Veronica's ears were pierced, we celebrated my Dad, Elizabeth and Andrew's birthday's (all within one week of each other), and wrapped it up with a vicious virus! Thankfully, Isabella's blood work numbers are getting better (she was poked seven times in one week!) and Veronica's blisters/sores are almost gone.

Isabella has really grown up and is looking more and more like a little girl! She is such a sweetheart. She amazed me with how brave she was with all that happened over the past week. She loves Veronica so much! The two of them are so sweet with each other. She loves to mimic me in all that I do. Her new thing is unscrewing EVERY bottle/container (no matter what is inside... which has been lots of fun) and turning on and off light switches. Also a little update: her next hearing test will be November 9th and depending on the results, speech therapy will soon follow.

Veronica is changing and learning every day! She is rolling around all over the place and her balance for sitting is getting better! She loves to get her hands on everything and play in her exersaucer. Jack and I get a kick out of her bouncing in it. She loves to talk, squeal, smile and laugh. She is a very happy baby! We can't wait for all the cousins to play together!

Jack & I are doing well. We both agree last week was probably the most difficult week of our entire marriage. We were so strong and supportive to one another, but we definitely felt like we were not going to survive. We're almost 100% back to normal :). Our lawsuit is still ticking away. We have to wait until January before we even discuss a trial date (ridiculous). We don't know how long the typical wait is for trial once we have this conference. One thing is for sure... we're getting good at waiting :). As my Grandma Bauer always says... "Offer it up". Might as well make some good out of it! We love you all! Enjoy the pictures!
