Ankle Hardware

Had all my hardware taken out of my right ankle on Friday -- nine crews and a plate. It was outpatient surgery and I can't believe how good I feel. The pain is fine and certainly not anything like when I broke my ankle last summer. I can already tell a difference without the hardware. So glad I had it done. Now I just need to take it easy a few more days so I can recover quickly.

Kindness Continues

Our neighbors and friends continue to do so many kind things for our family. A young woman in our ward, Alex Saxton, brought these darling cupcakes over a few weeks ago. The boys loved them -- of course they love anything that has an Oreo cookie on top. Alex is so thoughtful and probably had no idea how much I love sunflowers. I was so impressed she wanted to do this since she is busy trying to get ready to leave for college. Thanks Alex!
