Update

Hello everyone,

I thought I would give everyone an update on all of us. Jonathan had reconstructive knee surgery on the 14th and mildly put, his knee was a mess. He is doing very well though; but will still have to be on crutches for 4-6 weeks. All I can say it is a blessing that this surgery was done now, instead of 8 months from now because he would have to fend for himself...as we are expecting. I am about 7 weeks along and bundle of joy.

Emma fell asleep on Jonathan while he was resting.

Emma is doing very well. She is talking a bit more each day. She has the words dog, stop and Oreo (or "OOOO") down pat. I am constantly telling the dog Oreo to stop so she too tells him to stop when he is trying to lick us to death or chew on something that of course is not his.

Before Jonathan's surgery we went to Emma's godparents house to see their new English bulldogs, Ike and Spence (pictures below). It was really cute to see Emma play with a dog that more her size. She seemed to really enjoy them.




Well that is all the news for now. Hope everyone is doing well and may the Lord continue to bless you each and every day.

Christmas 2008

Hello everyone,
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas season and took time out to reflect on Jesus and His Birth. We had a blessed Christmas. Emma really enjoyed opening up presents this year. She liked ripping the paper and discovering what was inside. Santa brought her a Red Radio Flyer Wagon and she just loves it! Of course Grandma and Nana spoiled her, but that is what grandparents are for right!

We are excited to see what the New Year has in store for us. We know one this is for sure, Jonathan is having Knee Surgery on January 14th. On Christmas Eve, we were chasing the dog and down Jonathan went. His knee was already weak from a torn ACL from many years ago; but this little episode made it worse.

I will send an update after the surgery, but in the meantime, enjoy the pictures and drop us an email and let us know how you are doing. We look forward to hearing from you.
