No more webbed toes!

Lucy had syndactyly reconstructive surgery yesterday and did very well.  Our day started at 4am to check in at Primary Children's Hospital in SLC at 6am.  Though the doctor was more than 30min late, Lucy was such a happy baby.  Finally he arrived around 8am and as the anesthesiologist took her away, she looked back at Jerry and I and stuck her tongue out at us (in a loving manner).  It was pretty cute; made me feel better than if she were screaming "NO don't take me!!"  It only took about an hour and when I went back to see her, she was quite content with a bottle of juice and happy.  The nurse said she made her day:)  After monitoring her for a while, and after throwing up all the juice (that was the first time she'd had juice), we were able to take her home.  We were soooo grateful everything went well.  Thanks to all those who prayed for her and an extra BIG thanks to Sharon for watching Theo all day!!

We HAD to get pics of the feet responsible for Lucy's surgery...thanks daddy :)  

It's funny how you can't even tell Jerry has webbed toes with Lucy's next to his!

Right out of surgery

Lucy has never been a cuddly baby so we had to get a picture of this! 

 I loved all 5 seconds of it!

Jerry and I were starving so we stopped to get breakfast on the way home.  Look how happy she is for just being out of surgery...must be the meds!

Day after surgery, happy as a lark.

Here she is sporting her big booties!  80's are back right?

Congrats Justin & Pualei!!

We're so happy for Justin and Pualei who were married on December 20th! Here are a few pictures. Pualei looked absolutely gorgeous!

My Sister's-in-law, Emilie & Sue, and my mother-in-law, Sharon

What a cute blended little family:) Justin and his two boys, Porter & Tyson. Pualei and her two girls, Keia & Eden. I think they were tired of taking pics!

Christmas

Here's for all of those who didn't have a WHITE Christmas!!

Here's Theo and Lucy with a not very "jolly" Santa. I really didn't like him, not nice at all. I hope his excuse was that it was right before his lunch break. Anyway, no screaming, just Lucy giving him a look that I wanted to give him as well! Couldn't get any good pics because everytime I'd take a picture, my flash would set off their professional flash and made it way tooooo bright! Oh well.

Theo and his cousins Olivia (smiling beautifully) and Zoey (knocked out cold) on the way back from visiting Santa at the Mall.

All the cousins on the Lynn side except Aspen and Jared.

Lucy's first doll! She LOVES it, thanks Grandma:)

Notice Lucy's hair here...it only grew in the middle, front to back, so instead of me trying to comb-over what little hair she had on the sides, we decided to cut it to try and help it fill in...Thanks Emilie. I think it looks way better, though sad to know how MUCH she used to have! Oh well, it's just hair right? It'll grow back eventually.

All GONE!! We left a little length on top for bows and etc...since she looks like a boy in the back--relatively speaking:) But even if we'd shaved her hair, she's still a little dolly, don't you think?

November has come and gone

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm most grateful for such a loving FAMILY who makes me a better person.

Lucy and her happy 6 month old self!

Lucy's started to sit up on her own, though she'd rather stand:)

An Obama Halloween

I took a quick video of Jerry filming his short ad that he posted on YouTube. What I got is TOO funny not to share! Check out Jerry's finished project...sorry if you're an Obama 

Happy Halloween

I was excited for this year's Halloween...Theo can walk and talk unlike last year. Well the excitement soon left as we went trick-or-treating down Center Street in Provo. Too many bodies bumping into each other! Theo didn't understand the concept of collecting as much candy as possible. Rather, he wanted to eat the candy as soon as he got it. It was a very slow process. Luckily our ward had a trunk-or-treat in the church parking lot where that went better.

Theo was a cute monkey and Lucy and I were Snow White--just in case you couldn't tell.
