Saxton's Surgery

Saxton and mom are on their way down to the Children's Hospital in Philadelphia to have Saxton's tonsils removed. To give you an idea, his tonsils are the size of a shooter's marble. They are huge!! We will keep you informed on his progress.

As for the rest of the family, everyone is doing great. Saffi is settling in very nicely. We where having one to two meltdowns a day fro a while there, but over the last two months, we have had only three. It is really nice to see her smiling everyday when she wakes up and comes down the stairs, now. She is a very beautiful little girl. Also, over the last month, she has had two fillings, one tooth removal and one cap. But, she is not done. We go next week for her last two fillings, then we are all done (hopefully) for the next six months.

Sawyer is continuing to progress with program at school. He is now making approximations of several words and letters. He is also writing the letters F, S and O. This is a tremendous progress from even six months ago when he wasn't saying anything.

Well, we have been really busy (our common excuse), but I have been taking pictures. I need to find out why those videos of Saxton and Saffi are not working. It's annoying. Any suggestions?

Congratulations to our friends Chip and Holly who have been waiting three very long years to meet their daughter. Today, they got to hold her for the first time. Here's to you Chip and Holly!! (I am holding my coffee mug up because it's too early to drink a beer).

OHHHHH! Talk about cutie-pies! I had a dream last night that we were all at your house and the kids were playing like crazy! Maybe it's time we start planning on getting together. Melanie was just talking about Sawyer last night and she really misses him - all of you. We all do (sad face here). You all take care and hugs to everyone, especially Saxton getting his tonsils out.

The pictures of the children are awesome, the videos worked for me when I watched them. I can't wait to see you all I miss you very much. I was glad to hear that Saxon did well with his surgery the other day - he told me he likes ice cream :>)
