Recent Stuff

I finally put up my photo grouping of Bekah's 6-month pictures. I got the photos printed over a month ago, and bought the frames a few weeks ago. I laid them out perfectly, then realized we didn't have small enough nails to fit through the TINY hanging apparatus on the back. It took me another two weeks to buy the nails, but here it finally is. I really like the way it turned out.


In other news, Rebekah got a 2nd cast put on. She had the first one for 4 weeks, then got it cut off to be fitted for a brace. The brace takes a few more weeks to make, so the doctor told us she should be in a cast again until the brace is ready. He mentioned that she made such great progress, he didn't remember it was a club foot until he read Bekah's chart. He thought it was just a little out of place, then remembered how bad it was before, and said that her foot has really improved. Yeah!

Malcom and I really hated the thought of any more time with the cast. Rebekah had a hard time getting the first one cut off and was even bleeding behind her knee! :( But the doctor assured us that it was important to put on the second cast so that she won't lose any progress. He said he would make it go only up to her calf this time, and we were sold. The end result is pictured below. I think it looks like she's trying to start some cool new trend where you only wear one ski boot. What a fashionable little girl we have!

I love the sunflower on the cast :) I'm glad she's making such progress!

I bought 100 dollars worth of frames, and 200 worth of pictures and then didn't get them put up before I moved to Roswell, So when I get home I have a huge hankering to finally get back to painting and decorating the home I thought I never wanted to see again :) Take care!
