Visiting Bowersox in Minneapolis

Successful Surgery

This past Thursday morning Norah had tubes put in her ears.  The surgery went great.  Dan and I are really glad we decided to do it.  The Dr. said she had infection in her right ear and quite a bit of fluid still in both.  Other than getting sick on the way home, it all went smoothly and hopefully this will get her off the antibiotics.  Thanks for the prayers on Thursday morning!

Little Dutch Girl

I couldn't resist posting last years photo of Norah.  So tiny!

This year Tulip Time was quite a bit different than last year.  Just to think last year Norah was only a couple weeks old and so helpless.  And this year we were practically chasing her down the street.  It was a lot of fun taking Norah downtown.  We even got her to take a few pictures in the tulips without food in her hands to cooperate.  Thanks also to crafty Aunt Jennifer for making Norah's costume again this year.  We got a ton of complements on it!

Happy Birthday Norah

Hey everyone!  Sorry it's been so long.  On Sunday, April 26 we celebrated Norah's first Birthday.  It was a lot of fun, and kind of a funny feeling to think that one whole year has already gone by.  Dan and I are so thankful for Norah's first year of life.  What a blessing she has been to us, we never dreamed being parents would bring us so much joy and laughter.  Norah enjoyed her party, and especially enjoyed the cake, as you can see below.  She got some really great gifts, including a Kitchen set from us, a wagon, a sand/water table, a dutch costume, lots of out door toys, and food and dishes for her new kitchen.  We are thankful that both families including 6 Great Grandparents were able to make it.  Norah also had her 1 year appointment.  Everything looked good, she now weighs 21 lbs, and is 29 inches.  We are however having tubes in her ears this coming Thursday May 14.  She has had 6 ear infections in 6 months, so it is definitely time!   Other wise all is good, we are now chasing after our little one year old as she is officially running all over the house, it is going to be a fun summer chasing her around the yard.

After the party this was so cute, Dan and Norah reading one of her new books together.
