Update!

It's been 4 weeks since my husbands surgery and he is doing very well. He still has pain of course but he has good pain meds that help him deal with it. He thinks the back pain before the surgery is now gone, but we'll have to wait a few more weeks to see.

Christmas was great this year. We bought our 7 and 4 year old kids each a four-wheeler, they were so excited. He took like 13 steps in a row by himself, we were so excited. I bought my husband a Call of Duty XBox, and he bought me a Dooney and Bourke purse and some knee high boots. And my youngest son is 11 months old today, and he was opening his presents by himself. Although he tried to eat the wrapping paper as he pulled it off his presents. He also just started walking on New Years. He was sitting in the room with me while I was wrapping the kids presents and his, and I let him see the Tickle Me Elmo we bought him and when he saw me wrapping it, he started crying. He loves his Elmo. lol

New Years was fun. We had both my step children and my 11 month old son and we all stayed up and ate pizza, played the Wii and waited for the countdown. This was the first time my kids were up late enough for the countdown, so it was really fun.
