A little update

Great Aunt Dawna gave Zoey a new dress.

Scott took 2nd at work with his ugly sweater

We have enjoyed Sierra Joy being with us

and she is going home all too soon. 

My surgery is healing fairly well. 

Just one of two beautiful bucks visiting our yard.

The other large one.

Both together with another younger buck and a doe.

Timberline 2002

Myself and Dano at the Timberline course

in 2002. 

Looking closely I can see the goiter in this 

image we had taken during the course.

First Snowman of the season.

Brooklyn and Kade helped me build

the first snowman of this winter snow season. 

The snow was perfect but so loaded with water that 

the snowballs got real heavy real fast.

 It was cold outside so we made him a fur hat

(out of snow.)

Grandma's Birthday gift.

Grandma has too many costumes so she needed a place

to put them so that the grandchildren could easily

get to  them.

So Jeffrey made a Costume Closet

( I named it Grandma's Closet and Tia and Brittany 

quickly figured it should be named Narnia)

Zoey is fast learning to walk and can now for several weeks 

except she doesn't want to give up the security of 

holding someones finger.

Well today she started motoring around without help from the 

kitchen to the front room and back. She is now learning 

quickly the advantages of being independent.

 Really, all it takes to keep kids entertained

for hours is a large box.

Christmas Firsts

For two little girls it is their first Christmas.

Zoey got a new dress from Great Aunt Dawna

 Zoey inspects the new outfit.

 Sierra is so much fun and loves to smile,

just not always for the camera.

Zoey and Santa Claus

Zoey"s visit to santa #1.

We went to a medical center

Christmas event and Zoey didn't appreciate 

her visit with Santa.

The a couple weeks later we went to our dentist's 

christmas party and the results were the same.

A balloon Olaf  was a little better experience.

Is my face more narrow? You be the judge.

SO following surgery it has been said several times 

that my face is longer and more narrow.

It just depends on the angle I think.

Here are some pictures that I found while trying to

sort my harddrives.

You be the judge!!!

Oh and see who else you might find in these images.

I just found these pictures .

This one the goiter is not really that evident.

However it really shows the size of the goiter in this one.
