Glad January is Over!


We had the worst luck in January. First I had a tooth infection over Christmas vacation. I don't think I have ever experienced anything quite so painful. Just as I was recovering from a second root canal, Dave had knee surgery. We were told it was a torn meniscus. He ended up with a lateral release and a prognosis of ending all running sports or needing a total knee replacement soon. Depressing! He is off crutches but it is still swollen and painful. We decided to have Charlies tonsils and adenoids removed the following week. Char was brave and Primary Children's was awesome, but he experienced a great deal of radiating ear pain and missed a week of school. In my guilt of watching him suffer and in a moment of temporary insanity, I rewarded him was a guinea pig. We named him Ralph and he is pretty cute. We took him on a play date with our friend's guinea pig Ozzie, we quickly learned Ralph is actually Ralphina! Finally I was driving home from dropping my mom at the airport to visit Emily and her beautiful new baby, Blakely, when an oil barrell fell off a truck right in front of me on the freeway. My new car was in the repair shop for 3 weeks, the only good news is the oil company paid for the $3000 repairs. We are praying for a more cheerful February!
