January re-cap

As happens every year, I spend about a month recovering from the birthday/Christmas extravaganza that is December. Not only did I need time to recoup, but we had some setbacks this month.

First, we received some sad news. Bill's grandmother had a stroke earlier this month, spent a few days in the hospital, then passed away. Bill was able to make it up to see her one more time, and I know he'll be forever thankful for that. She was a wonderful woman, and will be very sorely missed. We spent a couple of weekends visiting family in Lampasas, remembering and celebrating Meme's life.

Also, Rhys had surgery earlier this month to repair an inguinal hernia. He was a trooper, and aside from feeling bad the first day, he bounced back immediately. In fact, by nighttime on surgery day, I had to remind him not to jump on my bed! He spent a long two weeks restricted from running, jumping, or acting too wild. He's very glad to have gotten the green light from the surgeon this week to resume his normal activity.

So, between those things and just trying to regroup from Christmas, we've been quite preoccupied. We're finally getting back into the swing of our spring schedule, so hopefully my blog will be better kept up to date!
