Jackson's Surgery

Jackson had surgery on Wednesday in Grand Forks. In case you don't know, he had some audiology testing done about a month ago and failed everything because of the chronic ear infections that he has had. Thankfully, I can report he now has 100% hearing in both ears and the surgery went great.

We checked in at 6am and he was done and released by 10am. He came right out of the anesethia and was a little groggy for a little while but by Wednesday night he was running and playing with Olivia - you would have never known he had surgery that day!

Before the surgery he only said about three words, mama, dada and baba. Now in just a matter of days, he has had a word EXPLOSION and now says a whole bunch. He says in addition to the three from before:
-Kitty
-Daisy
-Delilah
-Ball
-Baby
-Mi Mi (for aunty amy)
-Mindy (our daycare provider's name)
-Down (sometimes "get down")
-Uh Oh

And my favorite is he now calls me "Mommy" instead of mama - there is nothing more adorable than Jackson walking around the house calling out "mommy".....he is such a little mama's boy and I love it!

We've Moved!!

Well most of our stuff is at the new house. We spent the night there last night and Trevor and his work buddies moved all of the "big" items with a truck and trailer. It is so nice to have a "fresh start" in a beautiful house. The kids are so excited to have a play room and new bedrooms. Olivia was thrilled with her new purple bedroom - she wanted to just be in there the whole night hanging out.

We have to work on moving the cats and the little stuff so the next week or so will be constant back and forth with the cars full of stuff. I am so happy to be able to "weed" out some of the junk we have and get rid of it. I will post some updated pictures of the house once we get it organized with our stuff.

Our phone is hooked up so start calling the new telephone number and our internet is getting hooked up tonight.
