The Best Christmas Present of All

Today, Josh gave his mommy and daddy the best Christmas present ever -- his biggest smiles ever! We were tearing up with joy as he smiled at us again and again. We have a video of it too -- I might post it online, but I can play it at our house whenever.

Hail, Hail to Old Purdue

The fam decided it was high time we all got our Purdue gear on and took some pictures.

A friendly face at the doctor's...

Josh saw a few doctors today -- the appointments went well. One of the places we went today was Wheaton Pediatrics -- where Auntie Carol works! So, we made sure she had to chance to meet Josh for the first time.

Picture is from my iPhone, so ignore the bad quality.

Santa came to see the boys

Since we really won't have the chance to take the boys out to see Santa this year, the big guy himself offered to come to the house. Of course he suggested we have cousin Andrew, Auntie Christy, Uncle Chris, and Grandma over too.

Grandma's cousin Marilee came over today to see the boys as well!

Boys first snow

Josh & Joe were "enjoying" their time in their snowsuits out in the backyard.

Boys' First Thanksgiving

We all went to Nonna & Grandpa's house for Thanksgiving -- the Klingers were there (as they always are) which was awesome because the boys met Uncle Kevin & Uncle Mikey for the first time!

I just like these pictures.

Nothing Really -- Pictures Added!

Just thought that I'd mention that Josh is doing well at home. He was discharged the day before Thanksgiving and has been home since. The new shunt is looking very nice (although we call him massive headwound harry after that SNL character), and he is happy to be home. He's going back to see the neurosurgeon this week, so we're keeping our fingers crossed that everything goes well that day.

I still need to post tons and tons of pictures -- I know.

I've added pictures of Josh's stay here.
