My Christmas present!!

Recovery...

Meghan's Surgery

Meghan went in for phase II of her cleft lip repair. Dr. Morales is her surgeon. We checked into Primary Children's Medical Center on Monday, December 22nd at about 11 am. Meg was being so brave. We tried our hardest to prepair her for what would happen, and surprisingly she seemed a lot less anxious that we expected. Here are some before and after photos. The procedure went awesome! Recovery has been fast, but a bit painful. In this procedure they had to make an incision in her left hip to chip a peice of bone and extract some bone marrow. Then, they repaired the bone in her gumline and injected the marrow inside the bone graft. We feel so blessed. Meghan is so brave and amazing. We love her more than words can say.

Scrooge...Bah Humbug!!

I am the Make-up Coordinator this year for "The Gospel according to Scrooge" play. It ran from Dec 5-14th. It was a blast. I had 4 people I made up before each performance, including: Scrooge, Marly, the Blue Angel and, the Ghost of Christmas Present....and also had to train and approve all the other artists make-up. What an amazing time. It was great getting to know the ladies from church a little better, and so great to be a part of a public outreach. I tihnk this play touched a lot of lives. Not everyone realizes that through our Savior Jesus Christ, we always have a second chance!

Winter Finally Arrived!

We had one snow in October, and then finally this weekend, the skies let loose of all the fun white stuff. It seems my kids must forget how fun the snow is ~ because every year its like the first time they have seen it. They play outside until they are little popcicles..and then run inside and cry while their hands and feet defrost! We love winter! This is the first Winter for Guy and Woody ( now 8 months old) and they seem to love it too!
