No News is Good News?

No, not exactly. In this case, no news is GREAT news. Makenzie has been a dynamo since her surgery in November. the Holidays were jam-packed with family, friends, fun, etc, etc, etc. The picture is with Uncle Tom, in Makenzie's favorite place - outdoors.



Over the years, we have frequently wondered what Makenzie would have been like if her heart didn't have to work twice as hard as everyone else's. We seem to be finding out now - as like most other kindergarteners, she has no problem going 100 miles an hour all day, every day. It has been a growing opportunity for us as parents.



Tyler has kept our days and nights busy, with a pair of ear infections and his two year molars coming in. He has embraced the role of terrible two year old. One moment you think that he may be the cutest boy on earth. The next moment you are convinced that he has been possessed. We can count on one hand the times which Heidi and I have gotten a full nights rest since mid-November.

Overall, our days are packed - we begin 2009 with hearts filled with gratitude for the blessings in our lives.
