Who:  Andrew and Emily.

What:  Starting a blog, with technical assistance from Auntie RaRa.

Where:  Home in Scotia, Boston Children’s Hospital, and then home again.

Why:  Update our family and friends on our son’s open heart surgery.

When:  Now! And continuing through two days of pre-op testing, surgery on April 1, and a speedy recovery.

Wes:  Our sunny, mischievous 13 month old son who keeps us on our toes and eggs-on his 3-year-old brother Henry every chance he gets. We’ve never met someone who smiles as big, drinks as much water, gets as offended at not being allowed to splash in the toilet, or loves baths and peek-a-boo as much as you, Wes. Wesley Ryan, Messy Wessy, or whatever your name is, you leave us shaking our heads in amazement and laughter, and we are silly in love with every bit of you. We know you’ll do great!

Love, Ma and Da
