Surgery and misc...

So, months ago, Jason injured his hand at work. He was going to physical therapy twice a week, which really wasn't improving anything. His doctor even tried two separate Cortisone shots, which seemed to help the swelling and pain at first but in the long run they really didn't change anything. So, after months of the conventional approach, the doctor decided they better operate. His surgery was Wednesday morning. We had to be at the hospital bright and early at 5:00am. They started the surgery around 7:00 and we were on our way home by 8:30. I was surprised at how quickly it was over! His doctor said the surgery went well- no concerns. Jason is doing great so far with the recovery. He has to wear a bandage wrap on his hand for two weeks, then he will meet with the doctor to have it checked out. We'll keep everyone posted- hopefully this takes care of his problem!




We bought Owen his first sippy cup yesterday. We put a little bit of water in it and let him play around with it. He was super interested in his new "toy" and was able to get it in his mouth and take a sip a couple times. He wasn't very fond of the taste of the water. I think we'll try a little milk in it today to see how he likes it.







Taylor brought her report card home last week. She is doing extremely well! The grading system in 2nd grade is still a numbered system with 3 being the highest score. Taylor had seventeen 3's and three 2's. Fantastic! We are so proud of her!

Here are some recent pictures of the kids.
Owen is doing really well sitting up on his own. He loves to play with the music toy that Grandma and Papa sent him for Christmas.
