November 27 - December 3, 2011

This week we have been adjusting to our new life...one where I am laid up in a chair all day and Eric has become Mr. Mom. We've also been lucky enough to have family (my dad and Ruby) to help us and great friends willing to do whatever we need, including washing my hair and bringing us dinner (thanks Michelle and Alisa:). As you may notice, all of the pictures will be from one angle, the angle of my chair. There may also be several pictures with my foot in it, however, I'll try to crop it when possible. Enjoy!

Both of our kiddos have beautiful blue eyes. Here's Kinley's sparklers.

Kinley all bathed and ready for bed. Giving mommy a good night snuggle and kiss.

Even though I was laid up 24 hours a day, I still wanted to make sure that the kids were able to do some of the same stuff we do every year, including visiting with Santa.

Thankfully my dad and Ruby where here to help and we were able to rent me a wheelchair and decided to take it out for the first time for the excursion. Unfortunately, I overdid it and was in great pain for most of the night.Kinley was absolutely fascinated with Santa and continued to stare at him and his beard.

Kinley getting some love from Grandpa. I can't express how grateful we are for my Dad and Ruby who dropped what they were doing and came right away. Not only did they help with the kids, but they made sure we had a clean house once again. They also helped to put up the rest of our Christmas, including our main tree. I don't know what we would've done without their love, support and help.

Ruby brought Kinley down to see me after her bath to show me how cute and happy she was in her towel.

Colton and Grandma Ruby playing "Ring Around the Rosies." Colton kept saying, "again, again!!"

My friend Alisa dropped some yummy dinner by and brought her son Nolan. Colton had so much fun playing with Nolan, even if it was only for a few minutes. I see another play date sometime in their near future. Here they're hugging to say good-bye.

Kinley was playing in her exersaucer when Colton thought it would be fun to put all of her toys on there for her to play with. She didn't know what to do with all the fun toys.
