First Snow - we have more!!!
Conor's position for a week with the ps3 remote in his hand!
An ice machine - pushes cold water through pads - was such a blessing to have.
Taking the wrap off for the first time.

Crossing the border onto Washington (took 70 minutes - ugh!)
Well (I think I begin my blog a lot with this word!), once again I am playing catch up. This has become the story of my life. Here is what has been going on -
Halloween: Mackensey had strep throat and was very disappointed that she could not trick or treat. She did go to our churches Trunk or Treat and still made out quite well with lots of candy.
Conor went with friends. They pushed him around in a wheel chair that had a boom box attached to it. They played a song about "Keep on Rolling." He had a bandaged head and dressed like an old man. His friend Jayden was so great to push him around. I wish I had pictures, but I had to drop him off way inorder to get to Trunk or Treat.
Surgery: Conor had knee surgery on November 9th. He was a trooper, but he woke up in a lot of pain and quite upset when he woke up in recovery. They called Shane in and he was able to calm him down. As long as Shane had his arm on Conor, he was ok. Conor missed about a week and a half of school, but he is back to school and doing well. He is still using two crutches at school but we have him down to one at home. Please continue to pray for complete healing.
GEMS: Mackensey belongs to a girl's club at church which I am coordinator of. We went to Washington state for an area wide girl's conference. It was Mackensey's first time on an extremely large ferry. What a day. The conference was about 4 hours and it was an 18 hour day for us (ferry ride, border crossing, travel to place, border crossing, ferry ride, van break down and then home). The girls were troopers and it was fun.
Thanksgiving and Snow: Today is American Thanksgiving and I have spent part of the morning and afternoon shoveling snow. It feels like Christmas! I haven't given in and decorated for Christmas yet. We celebrated Thanksgiving on Wednesday evening with our couples group. We had 28 people including my family. I cooked two turkeys at the same time. I have to say I am getting better at this! Although, if I had my rathers - someone else could cook it!
I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the parades and the football weekend! Love you all!
