Grandma Daisy's Visit

Life finally seems to be settling down in the Falcon home! Ivette was released from the hospital on Sunday afternoon after a successful emergency gall bladder sugery (actually, 2 emergency surgeries.) Milo and the kids are recovering from colds and we are all happy to return to a 'normal' routine after weeks of drama!



Grandma Daisy flew up from Florida to help out with the kids while Ivette recovered from surgery. What a huge blessing she was! She even kept Baby Cay in her room with her and did those nighttime feedings so Mom and Dad could get some rest. Grandma is headed home today and we are all sad to see her go.... but last night we had a family outing in historic Roswell. It was a lovely spring evening and we attended the monthly Roswell Alive After 5 event. People walked around, visited shops, ate in the cafes and enjoyed the live music at various spots. A lot of fun!


Ready to go explore the town (Baby Caden is hidden in the back seat).

Enjoying the fresh air - and jumping!



What a fun night just being together.


And here is a photo of Baby Cay keeping an eye on big brother Noah at home... perhaps he's worried about what Noah will do next.

Easter 2007

The Falcons decided to brave the 1000-mile roundtrip and take the whole family down to Orlando for Easter. Caden Matthew met many of his cousins, aunts and uncles for the first time, Mia had a ball during the Easter Egg hunt, and Noah showed off his Hollywood smile for the family. See below for a quick tour of the trip...


"Can I just ship this down to Florida?"
