An Early Christmas

This is his face before we began opening presents....

and that's the dork hugging his opened gift. You think he liked it?

Check out Bear's face, it's just priceless.

Dec 6th

Bo picked up an example of one of the shoe inserts and announced it was his new one and played and played until time to begin his appointment.

When Nurse Sarah came to remove the cast he protectively covered it and announced he didn't want her to take it off. He agreed after we promised he could take the old one home.

That saw is a noisy little thing....

everyone agrees.

These long pins were the ones in his tiny little feet.

Dr McGoodDaddy came to make the mold for his new insert and Timothy was not pleased. There was a lot of screaming and crying "Not again!", he said. He was just remembering the pain from the last visit when they pulled the pins out.

After that I got to give him a foot bath. Boy did he need it. His foot was really stinky!
He screamed so loud during his foot bath that someone from the Dr office stopped Sarah and asked what I was doing to him in there.

See his stressed out face.

Bear wanted to check things out but again Bo was quick to move that foot.

My Bug has a mommas heart.

She is so concerned for him.

Bear asked if he could touch it and Bo moved away quick again.

Bear settled for touching his healed foot.

Bo wanted some TLC after the rough visit but it had to be on his terms......

he held the kids hands and directed their caresses to insure nobody went closer to the foot than they should have.

Hoping to see this on our way to Arizona

Jeffrey takes amazing pictures.

We had to make a trip in because his pins were coming out. He had been complaining about his foot hurting. So much so that he didn't even want me to put a sock on. I knew something had to be wrong because he is not a complainer. When I peeked inside his cast I could see the problem right away.

The kids had to come along for this visit but they did really well.

Check out those reflexes. He saw a hand coming and the foot is just gone. He was really hurting and just didn't want any touching at all.

O' Christmas Tree

We went with a white cast this time. I made a tree on the front and intended to paint it green and let the kids add glitter and ornaments but they just wanted to color it.

Our Map Home

We made "maps" to get us to Daddy. Each night after he sings to them on the phone they get to place a heart on the road that leads us to Jeff.

See Baby, I told you he can't be still when he talks to you on the phone.




Everyone else ignore the mess in the background. Today was a deep cleaning day and you know things get worse before they get better.

Look at that sweet little swollen foot!

Babe, this pic was for you so you could see my hair.

We love Nurse Sara, she makes casts for Daddy Bubba too.
