Our Beginnings in Montana

As for now, we are still kind of moving in. We have fixed a lot of little things that are making huge differences. Plus trying to unpack with kids is really hard, especially with Monty. It's just as hard as packing. We actually don't feel away from home up here. The town is really cute and we are meeting lots of neat people. Dawson loves seeing his name everywhere since we live in Dawson County. The high school puts up posters everywhere saying Dawson High School. It's an older town so the architecture is really old fashioned, but I love it. My favorite place so far is the post office. It reminds me of the movies. Dawson is signed up for baseball in the spring, and we are signing him up for gymnastics after he gets feeling better.

We all did catch this cold going around. Monty has pneumonia again, but we caught it super fast so it didn't have a chance to get bad. The chest x-ray barely looked foggy on the left side. I took him in because I was concerned about a possible hernia in his belly button. It turns out it's a small umbilical hernia that could fix itself and just needs to be watched for now. His 'clogged tear duct' that we thought he'd had since he was 2 weeks old is actually an infection. Also, his cold was turning into pneumonia. SO, we got all of it taken care of and hopefully he will be feeling so much better in a couple of days. He weighs 13 lbs, but as far as percentile for that or his height... I will find that out March 26th. Dawson is getting over his cold as well. We can't wait to all be feeling better soon.

 Dawson adores his little brother and Monty can't stop smiling when Dawson is around. Dawson is such a big helper and baby sits for me while I try and get things done. Monty B just laughs and smiles until it hurts.

It's pretty cold outside, so Dawson and Carson play inside together. They play so many games and I love hearing them giggle while they play.

 It got up to 40 degrees outside so we went to the park. It was pretty muddy because of all the snow and ice melting, but the boys still had fun!

 Here's little MK! She loves the baby and gets so excited to see Monty. I try to get her to say Jenny but she just responds, "dawson!" It's hilarious! We've been working on it for 2 weeks now and I think she's learned that it's funnier to say Dawson when I ask her to say Jenny, so she just does it to get a smile out of us.

 The best morning we've had is when Dawson came in begging to drink this....lime juice concentrate. I assured him it was sour and not to be drank. However he insisted and said that the TV showed a picture of it and said it was candy. Soooo I let him drink it.

 
Not exactly what he thought ...lol
It continues to be very eventful as life continues up here.
