Sesame Street!!!! Elmo!!!!

So today was the big day! Peyton got to see Elmo, Rosita, Grover, & Cookie all LIVE!!! :D She had a blast! Minus the part where she tried to bombard the stage and threw a fit when we held her back!

The other day on our walk the water was so calm and clear I had to snap some pics

Here is probably why there are so many centenarians on Okinawa, they lounge around on the seawall during lunch!

We're going to see Elmo!

Kindergarten!

Well... we've got ourselves a kindergartener! I can't hardly believe it! Time sure does fly by. Keira's Cochlear Implant was finally approved and authorized and we now have ourselves an implant date! Tricare ended up denying her twice and her Dr had to schedule a peer to peer with United healthcare/Tricare. Everything seems to be on track now though. I'll try to keep on top of updating the blog after the implant to show her progress :) K for Kindergarten! :) Pledge of Allegiance at the flag ceremony

Successful Surgery!

Keira had her cochlear implant surgery on Thursday! Her surgery went great and they were able to insert the electrode with no problems. So grateful for that! It's always nerve-racking when your baby goes under.... even though we knew she was in great hands with her surgeon you still worry! She was groggy and tired the first day, Friday she started to get her spunk back and by Saturday we were at a ball game! Now we wait for activation day to see how she responds! There will be lots of mapping sessions in the coming months to fine tune the implant. Hopefully she starts responding immediately! At the ball game at Chase Field Family baseball fun! Peyton enjoyed the game much more than Keira... Keira wanted to touch everyone in front of us :/ Car ride home from the hospital with her Melody monkey from Advanced Bionics :) Day prior to surgery Playing with her Melody evening after surgery

Zoo shots & more to share...

Here are a couple more pics I wanted to share after I went through the zoo stuff... Big hill we had to climb to get to the animals... Peyton keeping up foreign relations! ;) The kids loved Peyton- they were really sweet too! Look at that tongue! This ones for you Oma! The elephant was made out of plants! This was me getting Peyton as a bat! Here are some other shots that were taken right before Adam left... This is a shot Adam took of a surfer- I think it's a GREAT shot! Everyone along the seawall shooting... An Okinawa man invited Adam into his house when we showed intrest in his shell wall... Another Oki stray... This stray was going right up to the water! This whole wall/fence was made of shells! Last but not least- we miss you and love you Dada!! :D
