Business As Usual...Kind of

I want to start out by saying thank you to everyone who has been so wonderful to pray for us during the last week. I am doing so well - hardly any pain at all! In fact, this surgery has been a breeze for me - the hardest thing is staying down and not lifting! The kids are glad to be home (well, they are now anyway - at first they were sad to leave Grandma's!) and I am terribly glad to have them home. It's amazing how fast my living room becomes a hazardous area. I will be glad to be released to drive on Thursday ending my in-house arrest. We did get out to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Saturday evening. I highly recommend it. Darrel and I both enjoyed it as much as the kids. Boy was I glad I brought that drool rag for Jonah - he's like one of Pavlov's dogs - just the mention of Willy Wonka and his mouth is a slobber factory. His eyes bugged out of his head when he saw the scene where they entered the "edible" room. He's sure we can pull off a chocolate waterfall in the back yard...

Well, I'm going to get lunch ready without lifting anything over 4lbs. It's trickier than it sounds... We'll talk again later. Thanks again for all your prayers this week!
