Happy 3rd Anniversary Matt!

You're the best and I love you the most!

Foot Surgery update #3

I saw my foot Dr. yesterday and he said my foot is healing nicely and I'm not having any complications with healing or the scar.

I have however had some mild side affects from the pain meds that forced me to stay home and just relax today which is sort of a bummer 'cause this is my last week at Mission Springs. I feel a little bit lame but then again, I guess I am!

On the other hand the scar is pretty awesome... it's really thin but really LONG... it's like 4 inches long, which is way longer than I thought it would be... oh well-- it's not like I was gonna take up foot modeling any time soon!

Oh and I'm walking fairly well on it now too! Not bad for less than a week after surgery! :)

Foot Surgery update #1

My foot surgery went well and now I'm hopped up on Vicodin (sp?) and just laying around the house. I have an appointment on Monday with the Doctor... hopefully he'll give me another good report!

Check out my new shoe... I get to wear this sweet thing for two whole weeks (yes kids, that is sarcasm!)

Mabel: then and now

Mabel is growing like crazy these days! We went to Young Life camp last week for a total of 7 days and she noticeably grew just in that week alone!

The pictures below are pretty funny... the first one is of Mabel about 2 weeks after we got her (9.5 weeks old.) The second one was taken yesterday (12.5 weeks old.)

We sure do love our big puppy! She's already learned to sit, lay down, walk on the leash, and retrieve the ball! She starts puppy training on August 3rd... hopefully she'll learn even more!


THEN and...


NOW!

YOUNG LIFE CAMP

We just got back fro Woodleaf camp last night. We had an AWESOME week packed full of fun times-- some of which are pictured below!

Thanks for the prayers... Heather & Matt
