I wanted to have a record of Tru’s recovery so here are 2 more pictures 5 days after surgery. The swelling has gone down a bit and he can open his eye almost all the way. The bruise is turning greenish. You can see his stitches better now that it’s not quite as swollen. Also, […]
Well now… my goal in January was to share a Scripture a Day. Looks like I only did that on 6 days. At that rate, in order to get up to 30, looks like I’ll be doing this for 5 months. So – I figured I’d keep a goin’ the next little while. My sister […]
Abe named Truman “The Black-eyed Baby” tonight at dinner. I’m afraid it’s quite true.Truman had a check-up with the doctor this morning. Dr. Call said his eye looked “Great.” It was much more bruised and swollen than we anticipated, but we’re glad the doctor thinks it’s healing well. Truman’s eye patch fell off during his […]
We noticed a squishy bump on the side of Tru’s eye about a year ago. The pediatricians thought it was a displaced blob of fat (from getting hit on the eye brow by a cowboy boot – courtesy Max). But after talking with our Optometrist (our Bishop), a pediatric Ophthalmologist, and an Ocular Surgeon, they […]
Every year I love mentioning Australia Day. One year at BYU, we needed a pick-me-up so I bought my sister a red gerbera daisy to celebrate. I know she appreciated my Australian accent (hardy-har-har). I should make Australian foods such as Pavlova. That would be fun. In honor of Australia Day, let me share my […]
I’m a different sort of mother than I was 8 years ago. Perhaps some for the better and some for the worse. I used to be pretty quiet and mellow. Now I have to be more assertive and “in-charge” (which I prefer to call it instead of “bossy”) to keep tots on task. But I […]
Perhaps it’s because today was a killer, and perhaps y’all will just have to ignore me and my random thoughts… but I just was thinking about this throughout the day. Last night I was chatting with some friends about how sometimes we assume the moms around us are Wonder Woman… with everything put together in […]
Fear and Faith have been on my mind lately. I read an article in the Ensign about a woman who poured out her heart in prayer to have her fear transformed into faith. Though her circumstance is entirely different than mine, it just got me thinking about my level of fear/faith. I read a few […]
The last few afternoons I’ve been soaking in all the SUNSHINE pouring in my south-facing windows. Seems like we’ve had lots of grey bleh cloudy smoggy days in the past few weeks. I love me some SUNSHINE!1. Oranges!, 2. Untitled, 3. Glass Marbles, 4. HOPE 5. Untitled, 6. .heaven, 7. The tulip orchard, 8. Old […]
Max has been a really funny kiddo lately. He’s talking so much and must have hit a new stage of speech development because he’s trying harder to say sentences. We still don’t understand it all, but it’s cute to hear him try new phrases. My favorite is, “It’s Amazing!” He says it about random things […]
