Happy 2008...It's Already a Great Year!!

Sorry for the delay of new photo's. As you can imagine...we have been very busy. Here are the latest photo's of our two little darlings.

This is Jackson's most current photo. Jackson's Mohawk is the result of a home haircut gone totally wrong. Thankfully, he is really stoked about his new look. In the furure, Morgen will NOT be cutting anyones hair!!!! :)

While Jackson was in his body cast, we used Lilly's changing table pad on the kitchen counter while giving Jackson sponge baths. It worked great. After Jackson got all clean, he would turn over and play in the water with his toys.

Jackson loves his fire truck. It works great for getting around the house. He holds onto the back and hops with his right leg, then he brakes with his cast. His PJ's all have holes in the left knees from the friction, but it kept him happy while in the cast.



Jackson and lilly goofing around. Lilly is not too sure about all this.

Getting the cast off was very fast. Jackson was a trooper. It took him a few minutes to get used to the look and feel of his new leg, but all in all, he handles it with courage.

Next, he was placed in the shrinking sock. The end of his leg is tender, so putting the sock on is a little challenging.

When we were finished, Jackson and Baba got to go swimming in the hospital pool. This is good for Jackson's leg and great for Jackson's attitude.

After the swim, we went to dinner before driving home. We let Jackson pick what he wanted to eat...Noodles of course!

As Lilly is now four months old. Hher doctor has given us the okay to start solid foods. Lets just say that Lilly isn't crazy about this ideas yet!

She is cooing and blowing bubbles all the time now!

Look at those eyes!

Happy Baby!

Our First Christmas

Christmas is way more fun with kids! Lilly loves all the lights...Jackson loves all the presents.


Thankfully, Santa makes house-calls. (Thank you Robyn and Tom)

Jackson got right to "work" playing with his news toys. We actually had to take three breaks during the morning so he could play and re-group. The concept of receiving so many fun things at one time was a bit overwhelming for him...but he did great. He is such a little boy...matchbox cars, Stars Wars Mr. Potato heads and of course, a laser gun! Put them all together, you have big fun.

The Many Faces of Lilly

Lilly is a busy baby eating, sleeping, playing, going potty and growing. She is a very good natured and sweet baby. We are very lucky!!

Christmas was exhausting!

September 26th, 2007-Lillian's birthday. This is about 30-minutes after birth.

Jackson & Lilly's First Christmas

Jackson has been having a blast learning about Christmas. Over the weekend, we celebrated with his cousins and had a great time. Click to view Jackson as an Elf!

Jackson received an awesome Harley from Aunt Liz & Uncle Jason

Opening presents is still a strange concept for Jackson. He seems to think that he has to give the items back!

Photos from the hospital

Jackson had a very busy day. He had appointments all day. The night before the surgery, Jackson was able to go swimming this his Mom & Dad. This is him playing Gameboy right before bedtime.

Early morning. We report to the hospital at 7:45 am. This is Jackson in the pre-surgery wing. He was very specific about what he wanted to wear to the hospital...Superman shirt, Superman socks, Superman cape & Superman blanket. I bet you can't figure out who his favorite Superhero is?


Surgery took about five-hours. According to Dr. Mosca, everything went according to plan. Jackson was in recovery for about an hour. The photos show Jackson in his hospital room right out of recovery. The first thing he asked for was his toothbrush. He quickly moved on to the operation of the bed. The bedside controls continued to be a source of entertainment throughout his stay at children's :)

The day after surgery, Jackson is still connected to IV, epidural, and cathiter. His spirits are high. Here he is showing off his new look. The Transformer mask was a hit with the hospital staff and other patients, thanks to the voice morphing feature. (Thanks Brandi :)

Jackson's epidural was stopped around noon. By 9 PM he was off the IV and the epidural & cathiter had been removed. The only thing he wanted to do was get out of his bed and lay down with Baba on the "big bed".


Leaving the hospital. We were able to check-out before 1PM on Saturday. Jackson is ready to be home.
