The end is near

Well, the end of the year anyway.

Carrie's surgery went great. My only complaint is I didn't get a single update while she was under the knife for four hours. No stress there, eh?

Her scar is about seven inches long (18cm). She had 19 staples and a bunch of internal stitches. She came home on the 8th and the staples came out on the 17th.

She's been up and walking properly for the first time in about 2 years. Aside form some minor stiffness in the mornings and some pain from OVERDOING IT BEFORE HER RECOVERY PERIOD IS DONE she is in great shape. Hopefully after the New Year we can start going to the YMCA and hit the gym and pool a little.

Logan found out how he did in his popcorn sales. He sold the most in his troop. In fact he sold more on his own than the entire rest of the troop combined! Logan also got his book and sash this month and earned his first cub badge, Pet Care! He was very happy to get it and is looking forward to earning more.

Christmas has come and gone, thank god. I'm not much for the holidays any more. Everyone is stressed out because of the shopping, kids get annoyed because they can't or didn't get everything they wanted. Add in a tree that takes up a huge hunk of living room/family room space and all the bits and pieces of food/candy/decorations that end up on the floor and presents that get under foot.

Logan had a good Christmas though. He didn't get any new Wii games so he was a bit disappointed there but he got some good stuff he can have fun with.

Now it's only 70 days to his birthday and 71 to mine....
