New Mexico and Surgery

Well we've had a busy week. We got back from Justin's family reunion in New Mexico on Tuesday and still haven't unpacked everything. Justin will tease me now because before we left, I said "I want everything unpacked before we go to bed Tuesday night, I hate still being packed for a week after vacation"... We've been going to bed by nine the last few nights and leaving the suitcases at the foot of the bed. It WILL get done tomorrow, or I won't be able to stand it anymore :)

Here are some pictures from our trip and Justin's surgery this morning.

Our little family on the mini-hiking trip

Patiently waiting for our cousin Siu's baptism to start. On her own chair of course...

Since you never see any pictures of me or Justin anymore, here you go :)

The whole group in Ramah -- Justin's Mom's family.

Sitting with Papa waiting for the Pioneer Day parade in Ramah.

Fell asleep in the stroller walking around town after the parade. I guess she had too much excitement for one morning.

In the car between Ramah and TorC. Notice her binky is halfway out of her mouth. She stopped sucking on it and it slowly fell out of her mouth.

Justin and his Dad went golfing on Monday while his Mom, Carrie, and I followed them in our own golf cart. Carrie got a little sleepy so she took a little nap in the back basket.

Carrie playing in the bathtub at Grandma's. This was her first time with toys in the bathtub... I always forget. Anyways, she got to spend the night there last night cuz we had to be up so early to go to the hospital. (Thanks Mom!)
.

Justin and me, right before he got wheeled into the O.R. Everything went great and after about an hour surgery (hernia repair) and an hour recovery, he got to come home, take some percocet and a nap. So far he's been a star patient, he was nice when I made him walk and so far his only request has been orange juice. :) It's a little different for me to be the nurse at home!

Oh, and by the way, Carrie got a major haircut a couple days ago. Her "long" brown hair was getting thinner and thinner and was starting to look a little silly. We can see some blonde fuzz starting to grow in it's place so we cut the baby hair short to wait out the blonde big-girl hair :) Well, that's us right now. Justin is up from his nap, and my Mom brought Carrie back over so I guess I'll go run the house!
