Latest on Brian....

Brian's foot is healing little by little. He is going in for another surgery on January 7th. We are hoping that he will only have to stay there for about five days this time. This process is starting to feel almost normal...how crazy is that. Please keep praying that this will heal. He is also starting to put more weight on it, we'll see what happens.

Merry Christmas 2009

Makenna had her first Christmas....what fun she had. She is ready for her birthday now to open presents.

Daddy is home

Brian is home! He has been here just over a week now. The first days he was home were a bit crazy. I went to pick him up Thursday, Noah had a concert on Friday, Brian's side of the family Christmas party Saturday, then Sunday Maddie's Birthday party. Wow was he tired! The week continued to be busy for for me, but not as much for him. I brought him back to Minneapolis for an appointment Friday, they think things look pretty good.

Happy Birthday Bugs!

Madison (Bugs) had her 4th birthday on December 16th! What a big girl she is becoming. She goes to pre-school three days a week and loves it. She is also in Cubbies at AWANA in our church. She is a social butterfly and loves spending time with her friends. She is excited about being 4!

Getting better all the time.....

Well, it seems to be healing really well for the most part. A few areas are taking longer then the rest. We are thankful it is as far as it is. We are very grateful for all of the support and prayers. Physical therapy is scheduled to start tomorrow. We are hopeful that Brian will be coming....to stay home.... the end of the week! It's like an early Christmas present! Please keep praying.

Both Madison and Noah created a bear at Build-a-Bear in the Mall of America. Makenna slept through the whole time. It was fun!
