Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

In celebration of the first day of spring we are getting snow! 

 

Touched by an Angel

My recovery is going a bit slower then I would like, therefore  I am still pretty limited as to what I can do in the kitchen.  I felt like I was "Touched by and Angel" when  I received a phone call from a friend this morning saying she was cooking a pot of soup for us for lunch.  What a blessing that was and how we appreciated her labor of love!

Just What the Doctor Ordered

Usually Saturdays are a cleaning day for me.  I am kind of limited in what I can do, so I did no cleaning this Saturday.  Laughter is good medicine and that was exactly how I spent the afternoon; enjoying spending time with the family especially my grandchildren.  As you can see Gideon enjoyed painting and coloring with markers.

Camille Dyck - RN

Yesterday we received the exciting news that our daughter in law Camille passed her nursing exam and is officially an RN.  Congratulations Camille!  We are SO PROUD of you!  All your hard work paid off.  You are such a caring and compassionate person you will make a wonderful nurse!  We know God is going to use you as a nurse to touch many lives!

The Road to Recovery

Thanks so much for your prayers for me with my surgery.  Things went well and now I am working on trying to get my tendon moving again.  I went to the doctor today for a post-op visit.  I then went to see the physical therapist.  Since there were some people who asked for pictures I am posting them.  My hand if pretty swollen and stiff but these first ten days of recovery are very important to try to get as much movement as possible.  Thanks for praying for me through this ordeal.  

Metal Plated

I would appreciate your prayers as I head down to London tomorrow to get the metal plate out of my thumb.  The tendon is stuck to the metal plate.  Hopefully once the metal plate is out I will be able to regain movement in my thumb.

Building Their Resume

One of Caleb's first jobs was washing dishes in a restaurant.  It looks like Aurora and Gideon are following in their dad's footsteps.  They are starting to build their resume with their experience washing dishes at Grandma's house.  They were having so much fun they couldn't even look up for a picture.
