Co-Date Night

On Tuesday night, my brother and sister-in-law, Andrew and Vanessa, joined Kc and I on a date night. Vanessa's mother, Gramma, came over to my parent's house and watched Jonah while Nana took care of Noah. It was SO nice to get out with friends and have a "grown-up" meal. We went to Max's Bistro and immediately ordered the sweet potato fries. Yumm-O. The food was excellent, martinis were divine and the fellowship with friends/family was amazing.

Thanks for spending the evening with us! Let's do it again when you're back in Fresno!

It was great to spend time with you two while the grandparents watched our little kiddos. We will certainly have to do it again when we are in town for Christmas. Maybe next time we can get Adam and Melissa to join in on the fun.

You guys look great! So glad you were able to have some "adult" time. I can't think of two parents who deserve it more! Oh and I love love love the pix of the dads/sons with mom's watching!

That was easily one of the best nights of the whole trip. I am so lucky that my friends became my family with just a couple of marriages! Love you both.

The Story

Our son, Noah Stone Jackson, was born with a very rare genetic disorder called Fraser syndrome. Among his many challenges are one “hidden eye”, a narrow trachea (which required him to have a tracheotomy), an imperforate anus (which required a colostomy), difficulty swallowing (which required a G-Tube for feedings), the fusing of his vocal chords (which means he may never speak), and club feet (which are being corrected with braces). Our family is on an amazing journey together. We are learning to walk along this path that God has planned for us, trusting in His infinite love and wisdom. We are taking each day (or each moment) as it comes and relying on each other, our friends and family, and our God for strength. We have a long road ahead of us filled with several more surgeries, lots of recovery, countless hours of therapy, and many trips to specialists around the state. Every day brings us challenges but they pale in comparison to the smiles and cuddles from our little man. Noah is our son, a true gift from God, and we cannot wait to see where this adventure leads.
