Snoozin

I was on a rather long conference call today not really paying attention to our new little puppy, "Ava". She has to be watched constantly because she's VERY naughty! I looked high and low only to find her asleep ....on Jessie's head.
Oops! Woke her up!

Winter Formal

Amanda went to Winter Formal last night and I must say she was absolutely stunning! Where else but this great state can you leave for Winter Formal without a coat? She looked so beautiful in her dress...it's hard to believe she only has one year left in high school and then off to college.


Here she is with her date and some of her closest friends.

Metallica got her picture taken today

Jessie had her post-op appointment today. He actually put in 7 screws during surgery. The long snake like thing is a metal plate that goes along the side of her hip. The 7 screws along that plate are holding the hip together and the leg bone is resting inside If she grows new bone in between the two screw areas everything will be fine.... so keep your fingers crossed! For now she is on strict lay/sit around and do nothing orders and telling her mom what to get her. :) Our next appointment is in one month for healing progress.

Thank you

Thank you to everyone who vistited, called, txt'd, sent presents, brought dinner, brought treats, balloons, magazines and cards. Jessica is home from the hospital and doing well! We call her "metallica" now. She's been put back together with a metal plate and 4 screws which will hopefully keep the leg, pelvis and hip together until the break heals. It will be a long recovery in the wheelchair but she is settling in and getting everything she has ever wanted....Take a look at what Eric came home with today!


Yes, a teacup chihuahua! I put a soda in the below picture so you can get an idea of her size. Her name is still undecided but Jessica is leaning towards Ava or Bella...we'll see. Any other name ideas?
