Good-bye Tonsils



Tom said "good-bye and good riddance" to the evil tonsils today. He has been sick since October with fevers and a terrible sore throat. The antibiotics weren't working and he was told to see a ears, nose & throat specialist. Well, he kept putting it off until his true love Amber finally said "ENOUGH" and got him in to see a specialist in Cedar. After the surgery this morning the nurse told us "I've never, never, never seen tonsils like that!" The doctor told us it was a good thing that they were removed because he had an encapsulated abscess in one of his tonsils. That is a bad thing to have! Now he has the miserable chore of recovery from surgery. Poor Tom - good luck in that department!

Happy New Year!

New Year's Eve was celebrated in a great way this year. The kids and grandkids came for a party. Everyone was able to come except Sean and Toni -- and we REALLY missed them! So anyway, Tom started off the party with the all important 1st step: Pull faces for the camera!!!!!




The 2nd step for a successful party is to load up on food -- YEA FOR THE FOOD!!




The final step for an awesome party is to HAVE FUN!!!!!





Remember to take a power nap in order to continue!!!




LET'S LOOK FORWARD TO A GREAT 2010!!!

Wow - I've really been slow this time in taking the Christmas tree down. But before I got busy tearing things apart, I took some pictures:






Ahh - it was so pretty.
