Tooth Fairy

Greetings!  It is such a part of the weekend ritual to update the blog that it was a noticeable omission this past weekend!  We knew that Jonas had his surgery coming up and wanted to wait until that was done and dusted to give a quick update.  Yesterday, Jonas had his tonsils, adenoids, and one front tooth taken out at the hospital.  He stayed overnight and was tired and a little cranky after the surgery.  The doctor and the dentist that performed the surgery thought it went great and think it will be a slow and steady recovery for him over the next two weeks. 

Elsa was a trooper too and was asking how Jonas was doing and when he would be home.  He will be home later today ready to rest and eat Popsicles! 

God Bless,
Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas

Feeling better all the time!

Greetings!  After almost a month of all of us feeling under the weather, we are all feeling better!  We had some fun this weekend with yet another late winter snow storm!  We spent the weekend playing, singing, and having a great time!  The movie clips are of the Lysne band and the Lysne basketball team!  The song Henrietta's Hair is a family favorite by a children's musician, Justin Roberts, that Dan is trying to learn the words to...in the video we just focus on the chorus and the hand moves.  The second song is "Run baby run"--quite a fun one that we saw performed by Caspar Babypants last summer!  Then...the dunk fest begins...In tribute to March Madness, Elsa and Jonas have been hooping it up!  On a side note, one of the doctors from the NICU was a Duke graduate and as a result Dan has picked Duke every year to win the tournament.  His bracket has been busted:)

A couple of busy weeks ahead with some surgeries and lots of recovery time for everyone!  We hope and trust that all the surgeries go quick and that recovery time is a minimum for Jonas and Elsa!

God Bless,

Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas

Resting up again!

Greetings!  We just can't stop the runny noses and coughs!  Jonas and Elsa had another week of not feeling great.  Mari and Dan were down for the count too!  By the end of the week, we have gone through enough tissue to justify our costco membership fee. 

We had a mix of hail and snow today!  It added some excitement as we watched the pea sized hail pelt our house and deck!  Jonas and Elsa thought we might get to go out and walk on it but we opted to wait until the snow started falling to venture out. 

God Bless,

Resting up.

Greetings! 
It seems that the past couple of months we go to school for the week, catch a cold, and then spend the weekend resting up.  This week, Elsa started feeling bad on Friday.  By Saturday, everyone was a little under the weather.  Now we are taking it easy and hoping that everyone is feeling better by Monday.

A short update due to short energy! 
God Bless,

Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas
