Recovery

Recovery is like a roller coaster.... one day it's up up up and the next taking the plunge to the bottom. The doll has had her ups and downs. This surgery was no joke. I can't imagine the pain she must be in, but sometimes she seems fine. the nights are the worst. I think during the day she is distracted from the pain and she is able to move about more than she can in her bed. We've been home bound except for last night. We were treated to a FABULOUS dinner made with love by the Peanuts. It was nice to get out, but maybe a little selfish. I think WE were ready to get out of the hosue, but Libbie was NOT. She did okay, but she wasn't herself. This week we'll be staying in. The weather is perfect for snuggling by the fire and watching Christmas movies.
The girls were glued to the television... Mickey's Christmas was playing...

Hoot finally slowed down enough to decorate his room.

He likes to do it himself... with an audience for encouragment

These are my favorite ornaments. they are hand painted wooden drummer boys... I bought a lot of them at a churhc gargage sale before I had Hoot for $1.00...

I think he placed every large tartan ornament on one side at the bottom... nice

We don't always wear our underwear when we deck the halls... he just happened to get in the mood after his Sunday morning bath. Were usually in such a hurry to get out the door for church on Sundays... he decided to lounge most of the morning in his undies...

The bean bag has come in handy for Libbie

It's the perfect height to sit at the table and keep her foot elevated.

She enjoys Legos as much as Hoot
