Catching up from November (and some of December)

Moxie somehow managed to SEVER her Achilles tendon on her left hind leg. Lily was the one who found her bleeding and will tell anyone the story that will listen. It was a traumatizing time for all of us, dealing with surgery, multiple splints and making decisions. Poor Moxie has come through it all and is finally almost walking normally.

Moxie after her surgery and 2 days of boarding.

Lily offering Moxie a "fried egg" to make her feel better.

Another egg for Moxie. Lily knows that protein is important for healing.

The second splint, as she pulled off the first.

Lily LOVES to help Daddy with the dishes! Momma doesn't mind at all, either.

December 1st Lily and Momma went out and bought a fake tree.

Lily was not impressed with putting up decorations. She put up one.

Still trying.

Was there ever a doubt what kind of tree we would have?!

I found Lily colouring quietly like this...

I asked her what she was drawing. She said, "Santa".

September - October 2009

September and October went by sooo fast! Sorry it's taken so long to update everyone.

Here are some pictures from some of the happenings of the past couple of months. I really didn't take enough, cause our main camera is still not working right. :(

Mr. Bert (wearing Mr.Potato Head's glasses)

Lily thought this was hilarious

Lily is very anal about having things in a row...

Who says you can't re-use your plastic bags?!

Lily put one stuffie in each!

At the end of September, we went camping with our friends Billy and Melynda Petersen and their son, Merrick. The kids get along so well! It was a bit cold in Golden Ears, but it was a great weekend adventure!!

Melynda knew exactly how to keep the kids happy!

Lyall spent hours looking for something under our car!
