October

This month has been a crazy one. To start with a funeral in Salt Lake City, and end with a vacation to Salt Lake City! ... Birthdays, Halloween, and just doing absolutely nothing here in Roswell. Eddie turned 31 on September 30th, and instead of celebrating with a nice steak dinner we drove the 12 plus hours home to be with family. It was a somber but great reunion. No one had met Adriana, and to see the happiness she brought to everyone based on the circumstances was truly remarkable. (Not to mention Dylan was so excited to play with Ethan…he had missed him SO much!) The entire Dow family was together for the first time in a LONG time... in fact I don't know if everyone has been together since I have been with Eddie, including our wedding. I was grateful to head home for the first time since I left in July and boy have I missed it. I was able to stop by AVH to say hello to some good friends, and to also have my c-section wound checked out. Now two months after my surgery and my incision is finally almost closed. (Roswell doctors... have NO idea what they are doing!!) Thanks to my old OB for being there for a delivery to check me out and fix what my doctor here couldn't do! We mostly hung out as family and mourned together, but I was able to also see my grandma who just had surgery a few months ago. It was nice... and I get to do it again... in THREE DAYS!! I can't wait! Here are some photos ... because THAT is the most important part of a blog update!
