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.

Hey! I have pictures of Jeff wearing the same ear guard! (I also went back to the original post. I spent many hours in the waiting room at LDS- probably the same one!)So, we both have husbands with prosthetic ears!

I am so excited for your little baby girl! I told Jeff and he is so happy for you guys, too! We miss you.

We are getting sooooo close to meeting our babies! Bummer about Jonathan's cholesteoma but I'm glad he is recovering well. Did they have to do a new tiny prosthesis? Exciting news about your parents! That's such a crazy change! Do they know Russian at all? Well I can't wait to see pictures of your little girl! Hope you are feeling well. Love ya!

Oh, I'm so glad the surgery went better this go round, and that Benjamin and Brie made it down, so fun! Now, if we can just meet up at your parents . . . oh wait, Russia may not be in the middle anymore . . . well, we'll just have to find another middle, and soon! (after the new little one arrives, and you've all recovered of course :)
