Surgery updates, Drea, 8:30 AM, Jello Jigglers, and Prayer Request

My mom is doing remarkably well after her foot surgery and thanks to my dad, I have pics to share on here. I cannot believe I haven't seen my mom since her surgery!! This is killing me!!! Im hoping to see her sometime this weekend while we are in LBB.
Drugs and Anesthesia are fun!!




Love the pink basket on your scooter mom!!!




At her 1 week post-op appt yesterday.




Sorry, a bit graphic but Doc says things look great!!!




My beautiful mom. She is home-based and unable to drive for 6 solid weeks but still gets up and ready every.single.day. The only reason I shower and get ready everyday is because I have to go to work. ;) Mom doesn't work and still gets ready. I have always been impressed by that my whole life!!! Mom has been putting this surgery off for quite a while now due to the long recovery, just because she is NOT a sitter. She go, go, goes, literally, everyday. She's always exercising, running errands, delivering meals on wheels, working at the FISH house, seeing her friends, helping my dad with his P&L, etc. Huh, sounds like someone I know! ;). She has really prepared for this, put off projects to do during this time, & set aside good books to read just because sitting is so hard for her. She's really treating this like a staycation and I'm just so proud of her. Enjoy this time and take advantage of some much-needed R&R, mom. Love you and stay strong!




Speaking of surgery, Debra had back surgery to remove a herniated disc last Wednesday and she's ALSO doing remarkably well!!!!! God is good for sure. She is up, moving around, cooking, sitting in a chair... She's doing great! I went and got her last night after work to come eat dinner with us and she was just so happy to finally get out of the house. I'm very very proud of her!!! Keep up the great work, Deb and here's to getting stronger every day.
Cam playing with her BFF's--Nixie and baby.








My friend Drea came to Dallas last weekend to house hunt with her brother but stayed with me. We loved having her and sure wish I could see her more often. I have got to get better about taking pictures. I don't think I've ever seen Drea take a bad picture!!! She is beautiful in every single picture!!!!!




Most of my blog readers know that my daughter is an EARLY BIRD. Like 5 AM early. But not recently! Drea, Brian, and I both woke up in a panic Sunday morning because Cam was NOT up and it was...




What?!?!?!!?!? I thought hell might freeze over! We couldn't believe it!! Cam was one happy baby that morning and didn't even have or need a morning nap. Such a blissful Sunday but was sad to see Drea go. :(. See you next month at Kayla and Craig's engagement party, friend.
Saturday night we went and saw Chad, Donna, and Ella for a few hours and just had the best time catching up. It's been a while since we had seen them so I was glad we were able to meet up.
Their precious daughter, Ella, LOVES her some broccoli! Talk about impressive!!!!




You better believe, after seeing that miraculous broccoli event at The Bailey Household, I was determined to get Cam eating broccoli as well so while at the grocery store we stocked up on multiple bags of frozen broccoli. While there we also thought, if we are gonna be those parents who make our kid eat broccoli, we should offer something fun to go along with it so when we came up on the Jello aisle our mission was accomplished. We went to grab a couple boxes but when we saw the Jiggler molds we had to buy those!!! Well, like is an understatement! She loves and finds them rather entertaining. Ha! The broccoli? Yea, not so much!




Please lift up my dear friend, Mandie, and her family as they endured a very sudden & tragic death last week. It was a freak accident and they are all asking why. AJ Swope, you will never be forgotten. May our God wrap his arms around you and allow you to watch over your precious wife, Wendi, and family. I was lucky enough to meet AJ a Mandie and Chris's wedding reception and what a remarkable man he was. A life cut too short for sure.



It's in His name that we pray... Amen.

Have a good week, all.
