Reasons to be Thankful
We have so many things to be thankful for in our lives. Jason and I have had a number of prayers answered in this past Fall/Winter. Many of you have been praying alongside of us for these blessings. The main ones that I am thinking of are Jason's back and our sweet, healthy baby--Jon Loran.
I am so pleased to report that Jason's back is feeling so much better! In the last couple of months, he has not needed to lie on his stomach at home, but has sat up on the couch or chair and been able to do his work at his desk and sit in class! He has also begun physical therapy. Now, I will say that his neck pains have flared up again (maybe they were just on the back-burner for a while). He has been given a tens unit to wear when he teaches, which is when it is most inflamed. Though we hope for the neck pain to disappear as well, it is not nearly as debilitating as the back pain was. So, praise the Lord for his healing hand and we continue to pray for additional healing.
Our sweet Jon Loran is really growing! At 2 months, he is up to 9lbs 13 oz and 22.25 inches long! He is beginning to smile and talk to us a little with sweet little coos. I'm on a huge learning curve with all of the many changes and things to consider for his sleep and eating, but what a wonderful support system I have in my family and friends (& an online blog :) )! Everyday we thank the Lord for him and can't believe we have been given this precious gift!
Here are a few pictures of this last month:

The maker of his beautiful blankie:
Sneak peak at his Christmas pictures--I actually saw these outfits at the store one day, bought them, and during his next awake-time, we had a photo shoot! It was hysterical--he even put up with the wardrobe changes and stayed cheerful the whole time. We had a blast!
Okay, so he got a little fussy towards the end :) This was the final shot...love it!
