First Blog in 2009 (and in over a year)

Well, it's been a while since we've blogged so I thought I would do some updating, but I think for the most part everyone checks out my Facebook or MySpace pages, but for those of you who don't here ya go...

Tom's surgery on his chipped elbow went really well...the surgery was a success, however, he did have some problems in recovery. The DRs noticed Tom was wheezing during surgery and as he was waking up, plus the fact that his oxygen level was not where it needed to be, which is 100%. When I was finally able to join him in recovery his oxygen level was in the high 80s to low 90s and after a few hours it had moved to the mid 90s. The DRs were concerned so after 5 hours in recovery, yes FIVE HOURS, they sent him to the ER for further testing & observation. In the ER they did a chest xray, EKG and monitored all of his vitals. His oxygen level still wasn't where it needed to be, but Tom was back to his normal smart-elic self and they didn't want to keep him over night so they sent him home. He still wheezes a little at night, but other than that is doing well. He has reduced his pain meds down to half as the pain is much better. Thanks for all the prayers during his surgery & recovery. We really do appreciate them!

Anna Grace is growing like a weed and changing daily! She just turned 10 months as of Sunday and started taking her first steps...I'm so not ready for this part of her milestones. We also found out she's getting in her 3rd tooth and possibly her top two middle teeth, that would make 5 teeth! and she's not even 1. Speaking of 1, I cannot believe she will be 1 in just 2 short months! Man, time really does fly!!! We are having her first birthday part at my parents out in "Hooterville" and are planning an Easter Egg Hunt since it's over Easter weekend. I cannot wait to see her tear into her cake :)

Friday, the 20th, is our 6 year Wedding Anniversary! I cannot belive it's been 6 years already. It's been an eventful 6 years, but then again, that's what makes them memorable. We are going to make a date night of it with, sadly, what we have not done in a long time...dinner & a movie, just the two of us. We are both really looking forward to it!

I guess that's about all the updating on us here in KY. We hope all of y'all are doing well and we love & miss ya!

Below are some of Anna Grace's 9 month pictures that we had done...

P.S. The dress that she is wearing is a "family dress". Me, Lindsey & Hailey all wore this dress & had our pictures taken in this dress at 9 months. I love traditions like these :)
