December Visitors and Other Happenings

I survived the surgery and I'm at home resting. My dearest mother has been here helping with the boys, and she has truly been a blessing. She's stayed up with Silas at night and fed him and changed him when I was basically unconscious from the pain meds. I don't know what I would do without her.

Thank you, Mom!

Now that I'm starting to feel a little better I thought I would try to post a few pictures that I meant to post over the last couple of weeks.

Micah and I had a grand time building and decorating this gingerbread house. Grandma Mavis, Uncle Andy and Tom helped too.



In early December Grandma Mavis came to visit for a week. We loved having her around. She spoiled Silas like every grandma should. At times she was the only one able to soothe and calm him during his nightly fits. Afterall, she has plenty of experience. With a combined total of 29 kids, grand kids, and great-grand kids she has quite an impressive resume. Thanks for all of your help, Mavis. We miss you already!

Uncle Andy flew down from Illinois for a long weekend while Mavis was in town. Micah and Uncle Andy spent lots of time rough-housing and being boys. Andy even wore Micah out enough one day that he actually took an afternoon nap.
