Surgery for Owen

Our brave little Owen John had his adenoids and tonsils out and had tubes put in! :( He was sooo brave and recooped very well! They were originally just going to do the tubes and adnoids, but when they were in there they decided the tonsils needed to go too! When he woke up... the first thing he asked is if they took his tonsils too!!! He was such a trooper!!!

 

Remodeling FUN!!

How can you not have fun with these guys around???? We are so THANKFUL for all of the help and 'good times'... even if it is while we are all WORKING!!! :) LOVE the P.A.R.T.Y. TUB!!! :)

OUR NEW HOUSE!!!

We FINALLY have a house again!!!! We are sooo excited... except we won't be moving in for a long while... we have LOTS of remodeling to do on the inside!! :)

We are sooo thankful to finally get to this day! And so grateful for my Mom for giving us a place to live and helping us out with the down payment... since we have not sold our house in Waukee, we had lots of hurdles to jump over!!!! GRATEFUL is the only word I can think of to describe our feelings today!!! VERY GRATEFUL! Let the work begin!!!
