I have been so bad at keeping up with what's going on in our family. So here's a brief update.

Kurt's surgery went well. His doctor said he has never had a patient progress as well as Kurt has been. Although he still has some healing before he's back to normal, he is doing a lot of the same stuff he was doing before. Basically, he now has two more vertebrae fused to the 3 that were done when he was a kid. This time they inserted 2 metal rods and 4 screws to hold it in place! Makes me hurt just to think about it. Kurt is enjoying actually feeling his feet after so long without being able to. He says he is in significantly less pain than he was before.

Brianna is playing basketball and enjoying her freshman year at SEP! She says she likes the school and likes her teachers. She seems to have settled in quite nicely. We certainly enjoy having her around, too!

Bode is learning something new each day and we are just loving it. His newest is animal sounds. He is 2 now and keeps us running. He never stops!

Christmas will be fun this year since Bode knows more of what's going on. We can't leave any gifts in his reach or he thinks they are for him and he'll try to open them.

I am including videos of Bode opening presents from his birthday, Super Bode, and Bode's first time playing in the snow!
