The past month has passed by in a cloud of craziness...
Our most important memories are Jed's baptism on November 16th (also lost his 4th tooth). We are so proud of him and he was so excited to be standing up on stage declaring his love for the Lord. We can't wait to see what God does in his life!
Right after Thanksgiving, we went up to the woods in search of our Christmas tree. Nathan and I had found one during hunting season and hoped that the snow wouldn't make it impossible to reach in by late November. Well, we lucked out this year and were able to go back up and find it! The kids had a lot of fun playing in the very small amount of snowfall on the ground. It was Solomon's first snow we believe. We are supposed to see more in a couple days at home as the temperature keeps dropping.
On the 4th, we celebrated Charlotte's 2nd birthday. She knew just what to do with all of the wrapping paper and birthday candles. She is definitely not a baby anymore! On one last note, we were able to get in to Shriner's Hospital for Children early on someone's cancellation and met with the surgeon who will be doing Solomon's surgery for us. He is very nice and kind and very knowledgeable. We are hoping for a surgery date in February or March. Solomon was not in good spirits at the hospital but in the last couple of days, he is starting to look at some of the benefits of having the amputation. His language is amazing and he understands the basic idea of the whole thing, so we've been talking about how he's going to be so much taller and be able to ride a bicycle. We are just praying that they are able to fit him in to their schedule soon.
We wish everyone a wonderful Christmas!!
