three items for your perusal...

1 - the belly, at 35 weeks

2 - the cockroach I just found in our bathroom!

3 - Jonathan's Frankenstein ear - looks like they flapped it off and sewed it back on. Lovely.

Have a nice day!

updates

1 - Jonathan had ear surgery on Friday - his cholesteatoma came back so we had to get it taken care of. We feel so blessed that the surgery went well and that he is recovering so much better than last time. We are also so grateful to all who have helped us out with watching James, Priesthood blessings, and meals. And letting James sit with them at church while I played the organ. It helped immensely!! We have wonderful friends!

Check out this awesome bandage Jonathan gets to wear this week!

2 - We got a quick visit from Uncle Benj!! James was just in heaven. Not only did he get to play with one of his amazing uncles, but there was someone here who would actually pick him up! (Daddy isn't supposed to lift anything for a month, and of course there is my burgeoning belly to consider - poor kid!)

We also got to meet Benj's girl, Brie! We had so much fun meeting her, and James quickly found a new buddy - so cute!

3 - My parents are now going to RUSSIA on their mission! They received a phone call last week three days before their farewell, informing them that their mission call had been changed to the Russia Novosibirsk Mission. I am so proud of them and excited for them! My Dad is going to be a wonderful mission president. 

4 - I am now 34 weeks pregnant! Our baby girl is doing wonderfully. She is a feisty little one and rolls around and kicks like crazy - it is so fun! We are getting so excited for her arrival. Here are a few recent ultrasound pictures - if you look closely you can see her little face and her mouth wide open.

Life is crazy but we are so blessed.
