Rachel's 2nd Foot Surgery

Rachel had her left foot reconstructed on Friday Dec. 19th. ALSO the doc took the "hardware" out of the right foot which included 3 large screws. She is doing really well but I think she is getting bored on the couch! She gets around with crutches okay but not outside too much! We have too much snow and ice! For now she has a big cast/wrap around her foot. She will get the removable boot on in another week. Then hopefully she will be ready to go back to school. But she is suppose to have no weight on her left foot for 8 weeks! She will be slow going but hopefully it's a good reason for all the cute guys to help her and carry her books to class for her!

Tucker

Well, the kids have begged long enough Mark said. It was last April when our Shihtzu puppy died and the kids have been asking for another dog ever since. We weren't sure if we wanted to get another puppy and go through all the training again. SO we happend to find a dog on KSL website and he is a 4 year old Shihtzu. We went and met him and the kids loved him. So we brought him home. At first he would only go to Whitney but now he is friendly and likes us all. The kids are happy. I hope Mark and I can handle another dog.

He's a Shihtzu so some people think they are ugly but we think he's really cute! And Yes, he's a boy; his name is Tucker but Whitney insists on putting a bow in his hair!

Yellow belt!


Scotty has graduated in Karate to a yellow belt! He has been taking a Karate class since October and has really improved. He passed the test to receive a yellow belt. His instructor told us something interesting yesterday. He said that it's only been about 50 years since your skills were ranked by the color of your belt. Before that, there were 2 colors of belts...White and dirty! He said that people knew how good you were or how long you've been studying karate by how dirty your belt was! Congrats SCOTTY!
