We've had an interesting time since my surgery... The Saturday after my surgery Michael sprained his knee playing soccer with the youth. In the 4 years I've known him, he's never gotten hurt or hardly even sick! So why now, when I can't do anything either?!?! Fortunately we had NiNi to bail us out - she stayed with us until Wednesday, and by then Michael could limp around. Thankfully we found it more funny than terrible, even though it was rather inconvenient! The girls have done really well, and seemed to enjoy their extra freedom, but they are showing some signs of stress.

All the same, Grace has taken another big leap forward. She now works hard at zipping things:

It is very useful! She now likes to pick up her lego and zip it into its bag.

She also has jumped ahead in language, and both of them really enjoy recording themselves... you can hear one recording by downloading this file: http://www.eazypaper.com/binary/grace singing - sept 14, 2008.zip

Another favorite thing to do: enjoy library books - especially ones that are songs to be sung!

Recovery is going well for both Mommy and Daddy. We are no longer housebound as Daddy can drive now, and Mommy is learning the new discipline of doing very little even though it no longer hurts. We are very thankful for all the help we are getting, and for the quick passing of the very painful part of surgery recovery. All very good as we move into our new house come October!
