Update On Stephanie

Because of continual pain from scar tissue due to four c-sections, Stephanie had a full hysterectomy yesterday, January 25. The surgery went very well with no complications. While in a great deal of pain still, she is doing very well. The nurses have forced her to sit up in a chair twice already. We expect that she will return home on Saturday. I will be Mr. Mom for the next six weeks. The ladies in church will be doing much of the cooking but I will get a chance to make my favorite dishes as well. I do believe that the crock pot is the greatest invention known to man. Thanks for your prayers.

Fixed?

Now I feel better!

The beginning

This is not the first time Brian was hairless. It was even worse that this, but I didn't think I would see it again until I was old enough to not trust my eyes. Now all you writing to encourage him--remember He likes this, he did this to himself. Don't be writing him to tell him how cute this new "do" is.

New Haircut!

Hey Everyone

Beware! Scrolling down may induce great laughter. Those with heart conditions may not want to continue reading. Today, I shaved my head! After asking permission from Becca, which she so graciously extended, we decided that this would be the best time for it. I probably won’t see Becca for about 4 weeks, I’ve been at work for enough time that people there won’t think I’m a total freak, and there aren’t any big photo ops like weddings or holidays coming up. The pictures show the progression from precut to buzzed to bicced. Enjoy!
Maybe I should’ve been named Tom Jr. This way Becca sees what’s coming in a few years:

I got rid of the scruffy beard too:

Dads late Christmas Present

This is the ebay present we were waiting for. We told you we were getting a smaller tree next year. LOL. The leg ornament is from Shari and TC, right out of "The Christmas Story." Most of Christmas is cleaned up but still some more and the outside lights to go. Made reservations to Ft. Meyers on jan 26. Make sure you see our Christmas pictures, they are great but we will have to save until next Christmas to be able to afford prints.
