~UPDATE~

Thought I would take a minute and try and fill in the blanks from the last time I posted. It has been a bit nuts around here, but we are starting to find our way back to a new sort of normal!
JM has been to 4 doctors in the past week and it has resulted in his surgeries being scheduled. I wont go into all the details... just say it has been tossed around a bit, but the final result is he will have a "pinning" done and tubes placed in his ears on the 4th of December. We will see the Pediatric Dentist for 2 1/2 weeks and then he will have his lip repaired on the 20th of December. The thought is that he will then have his palate surgery about 6 weeks after that. I will keep you posted. It will be a crazy time for us, but JM will have his lip repaired before Christmas and that simply amazes me. I need to get taking photos and video of all the cute things that he does and all the things that I will miss once his face "changes" but we are thrilled that we live in an area that has such a wealth of medical expertise and it is all located within 3 miles of my house! Sure helps with those frequent trips!
The colds are improving and we are all starting to find more energy. We were so blessed that my parents were able to stay for a few extra days and see us through the worst of the jetlag and colds that followed. All for now~

~~BOYS CUT THEIR HAIR TOO~~

I noticed that EM's hair looked a bit odd. Upon further investigation it became obvious that it had been cut! Not in any regular fashion but a real interesting job. He finally admitted that he had cut it. I'm not sure if he thought it was getting too long...or if he just wanted to use the scisors...but the end result was that he got a haircut! Much like how his hair was cut when we got him in June of 2006! Actually he looks more like himself to me. I wasn't sure I liked this new longer look. It had gotten so long while we were in China and he was in Ohio. Check out his new look!

~~ALL I REALLY WANT FOR CHRISTMAS~~

This is a video another adoptive mom put together! Guess is says a lot.
Hope you enjoy it.

I think you have to copy and paste it in order to get it to work. I can not seem to get it to be a direct link...I am a bit computer challenged after all!
