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!

Family baseball fun! Peyton enjoyed the game much more than Keira... Keira wanted to touch everyone in front of us :/

Walkin' Girl!!

Peyton's started to walk on her Dino walker! She surprised me while I was doing dishes today and went from the TV stand to her walker and into the kitchen all by herself! Then when Dada got up she showed him how she walked!

In Okinawa!!!

We're in Okinawa!! Woooo-hooooo!!! It took forever to get here! We arrived last night at 6:00 local time, 5:00 a.m. (FL) and 3:00 a.m. (ID)!!! :) I haven't been able to take any photos yet, it's still raining from the tropical depression. So far we've been able to check out the BX- which is HUGE, Commissary and we went to Camp Foster to the Macaroni Grill with Laura & Steve and Andrea & Mike! We've only seen from the car the town between Kadena and Camp Foster- Andrea said maybe Monday we could go to the 100 yen store!! I'm excited bout that! It's like our dollar stores in the states but suposed to be WalMart quality stuff! Laura said we'll go to Jesco tomorrow too! I guess it's suposed to be like a mall and nice! I can't wait to take photos to show everyone! Hopefully the rain will let up tomorrow or later today and I'll be able to post photo's soon. Not sure how often I'll be able to post because the TLF here has no internet...

Boise Fun

We drove up to Boise yesterday and visited our favorite spots for the last time! :( We went to Fujiyama- our favorite Sushi restaurant! Yeah, yeah I know it's not like we won't be able to get sushi anymore! They've got the BEST sushi though!! We got a tuna roll, bronco roll and red snapper combo to split and it was SO good!! If anyone in Idaho is reading this and you wanna check it out if you go you've GOT to order the bronco roll- it's not on the menu but you can still order it- you will NOT be disappointed! It's THE best! It consists of shrimp, cream cheese, avocado, and asparagus then they flash fry it so it's got this crunchy tempura outer and then they drizzle eel sauce and spicy mayo on it- YUM!!! SO GOOD!!! We also visited Kid to Kid and Peyton got some more Baby Einstein DVD's, baby leg warmers and some more clips for her head bands and beanie hats! Fun day! :) Here are some more pics of Peyton mastering sitting up!
