Sissies and Cousins

My house has been overflowing with cousins and I love it because it doesn't happen very often. Spending some time with my sisters was the cherry on top. Next time we'll have to make sure Sara can be here too!

Mila, 6 months old and red-headed. We have no idea where that came from. She and Sage are my sister Emily's daughters.

Time heals

Most of you who follow this blog will remember the tragedy that happened that last year in August. We hadn't taken Isaac back to the Burn Unit for some time, so we went this past Saturday. They were pleased with the healing, though they said that Isaac is prone to scarring (I guess it's a hereditary thing) and that the worst of the burn is still pretty thick and hard. He will continue to wear his burn compression garment 24/7 and they are adding built-in silicone padding to put extra pressure over the worst of the scarring in hopes that it will soften. It's amazing to me to see how our bodies are able to heal themselves. This burn was about from his hip to his knee. As you can see, the top part of his thigh is almost entirely normal looking, though lighter in color.

Geoff and I continue to feel so blessed that this was the extent of the accident and that it wasn't worse than it was, though honestly, at the time it felt as though it was just about as bad as it could get. His leg was completely raw, he was in extreme pain for at least a month, during which we had to carry him around most of the time. They originally thought that it would restrict him from carrying on a normal active life in the way of running and playing, but miraculously it has not affected him in the least. We are so grateful for all the prayers that were given on his behalf and for the miracle that is our bodies.

Siblings

Pretend with me that it is warm and sunny outside. That my kids and I are still tan and blond. That I didn't get the worst flu/cold over the holidays and stay in bed for a full three days. That I don't feel massive, hideous and that I wear something other than comfy pants everyday. Ahh, I feel better.
