"This is going pretty smoothly!!"

Halle is always full of one liners that keep everything in perspective for me.  The other night we watched my friend's two kids; one age 4 and one just 2 months older than Landri.  I looked around our living room to what seemed to be complete chaos with the four kids (one toddling everywhere ....like everywhere, everywhere and one crawling.... everywhere, another bouncing off the couch, and Halle practicing her cheer routine.  Halle perks up in the midst of it all after doing a round off in the living room and said "wow, this is going pretty smoothly!".  And really it was!  In the end we got to spend GREAT time with two kids that I adore and don't get to see often enough and we escaped with only two cuts and a slightly bruised nose.  Not bad - no trips to the ER and everyone was happy and speaking to each other at the end of the night!


Another "pretty smooth" moment....we went yesterday to an appointment at the UIHC with Landri thinking they were mostly just checking her ears for fluid.  Good news is that NO fluid in the left ear (the newbie, with no surgeries), but still some in the right (the ear that we already had surgery on). So TOMORROW on Greg's birthday they are going to implant Landri's left ear!  They then hope to finish the surgery on the right ear by the end of the year.  With this awesome news Landri should be hearing (in her left ear) by her first birthday - which is also Thanksgiving Day!  I will post more very soon on how AWESOME Landri did in surgery and also what our process is going to be from here.  I will also do my very best to get better at posting pics on here.


WOW - This IS all going pretty smoothly!  :-)  How blessed are we.
