CUTE VIDEO OF PETER!!!

i haven't figured out how to put the actual video on here, but I will tomorrow...or get Dave to :)

our little boy LOVES to eat! Here he is trying spaghetti and loves it. I have been teaching him the sign for more and it looks like her is starting to get it...we

will see in future weeks I'm sure. Have fun watching it!

recent photos...

the last week of November we took some family pictures with my friend Jonna....I did some of my own before she got there....here is a few of them. I will post a few more soon!

CT Results

We got the ALL CLEAR! nothing to worry about....it's just a big head! :) he still needs a helmet...hopefully we get in with that doctor this week. thanks for all the prayers folks!

Keep Peter in your prayers...

Peter is getting a CT scan Friday morning at 8:30....so if you are reading this say a little prayer for him. He is getting the scan for 2 reasons. 1-he has a mis-shaped head, so they need the pics for a helmet and 2-his head is very large (97th percent) and they just want to double check it. The Dr. didn't give us any reason to be concerned and said that he might have some fluid in his forehead and that was a normal thing, but we need to check it out. thanks so much for all your support! (this is a pic from his 9 month photos I took...I will post more soon!)

the MOST ADORABLE place!

We stayed at the cutest place ever while in Branson last week....it was the Stormy Point Villag. All the houses are different colors, bright and look like little cottages from New England. It really was wonderful. Jackson sat in the rocking chair on the back porch for 10 minutes before we left because he did not want to leave. it really was a great trip, exactly what we needed to rest and recharge!
