December Update

Judd just turned two-months-old yesterday. At today's check-up he weighed in at 14 pounds and 8 ounces. What a big boy! He has really changed a lot in the past 30 days. We are beginning to see his personality and he just loves to smile and "coo" at us. (Be sure to check out the photos of him by clicking on the slideshow on the left.)

Our family is preparing for Christmas and for Mommy to go back to work. Cortney officially goes back to work on December 16th. Kyle is staying busy with work and he is still enjoying his new job.

We plan to enjoy a Missouri Christmas and hope to see as many of our family and friends as possible. This will be such a fun Christmas with a second son and John Ross getting into the holiday spirit, especially since we recently visited Santa Claus. Both boys were great with the jolly fellow and John Ross really liked Santa's beard. We're lucky that we have good experiences with Santa - every year we cringe and wonder if this will be the year for a meltdown! We credit the Santa that we have visited for the past three years. He's just wonderful with the kids.

In January we will be admitting John Ross into the Children's Mercy hospital in KC for a video EEG study. We hope to learn more about John Ross' epilepsy. He will be there for a week and we hope the doctors get the information they need. Please say a little prayer for John Ross and his doctors.

We are so thankful for our friends and family, especially this time of year. We feel so blessed to have two beautiful and healthy children. May God bless you this holiday season.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
