Bigger and Better Things

Early this week, Tacy called me to let me know she was planning to come to MN with her two daughters!! (Not counting Skype) I haven't seen Daphnie since she was born last September, or Fiona, either. They are growing up so fast.

They arrived at the airport in Mpls. at midnight, Tuesday. It has been so fun to have them here! How wonderful to hold my "baby dumpling" in my arms and kiss her neck until she giggles. And Fiona is talking in very clear sentences now, even though she will not turn two until the end of March!

Tacy is planning to stay for several weeks, buy a vehicle with the help of Joni, her Mother-in-law, and her Dad, and drive back home to Utah.

Yesterday we all rested up from the day of travel on Tuesday. Today we went to the Public Library and checked-out a few books for Fiona, and a free pass to the MN Zoo! We plan to go on Monday. The pass is good for 7 days, and our library only has two of them, so we felt very fortunate to snab the only one left. We found out we can rent a double stroller there, and I can use a free wheelchair if I need it. We shall see. As long as I'm not on my feet too long, I do OK

My first knee surgery is scheduled for April 2nd...YAY!!! What will it be like to walk again? I can barely remember. There are things we should never take for granted, and I am learning to appreciate all the big and small blessings in my life!
Thank the Lord for talented surgeons! They have literally saved my life!

More later,

Love to all!

  1. I realize this is a few weeks after your grandbabies were town but I hope you enjoyed them! It sounds like it was a fun visit! Oh and as a side note, there is a friend that put her mission papers in and she will be serving in the New Mexico Farmington mission...isn't that the mission that Tacy served in? At any rate, I thought of her! I wish you luck in your upcoming surgery!
