The Transplant news

I am sorry that I haven't updated in forever! The mother board on our computer is somehow not working anymore. We need to figure out what to do soon so I can stay updated with all of our friends and family!
My dad was scheduled to have his kidney transplan on the 26th of October. On the 25th everything was ready to go. As we were going with Dad for his last meal before the transplant we were given the news that his sister Murff would not be able to donate like they had planned. The good thing was that we were at the hospital with dad when he heard the news. Jami, Kevin and I went and took the tests to see if we could be possible donors. We will hear soon with what will happen. We need to get it done soon though so that Dad can get feeling better. I will let you all know who the lucky donor will be as soon as I can. Until then, please keep us all in your prayers.

The Big Boy carseat

I think Jamin is just barely big enough, but we put him in his front facing car seat for a small trip that we went on. Jamin LOVED it! He would just laugh and laugh at all the new things that he was able to see. We just enjoyed watching him see the world in a whole new way!

The cake

We gave Jamin his first sugar. I thought he would love it, but he mostly enjoyed playing with it. He wasn't even as messy as I thought he would be. It was fun watching him though!

Jamin's Party

We played pin the tail on the wherewolf and bobbed for apples at Jamin's party. Jamin wanted to join in. His favorite thing was the apples. He didn't really "bob", but he sure had fun with them! Jamin also recieved lots of wonderful gift from our family. Thank you all so much for your love and support!
