A Quiet Morning

This morning I got up early. I loved watching Zanna, Laney and Daniel play with toys quietly as the sun came filtering in through our crepe myrtles. They played very well. Daniel then picked some movies to watch. He picked Bambi first. It was so relaxing and satisfying. It reminded me of Saturday mornings when Sam, Josh and Timmy were very little.

Laney's New Song

I am not sure how she came up with it, but today on the way home from church Laney was singing, "Old Obama had a dog. EIEI-O" Hmmm, very interesting...

Sara's Big Day

Sara wanted me to blog about her big day today. She had a congenital mole (a mole she was born with) removed from her left hand. This type of mole has a higher risk of later becoming a melanoma (scary cancer) than a regular mole. We have a family history of melanomas so the doctor wanted it removed for preventative reasons.

The doctors office called yesterday and said they had an opening for surgery today, so Sara and I had a last minute date at the Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa at 6:30 am this morning.

Sara was very brave and little excited to go. Here is a before picture.

Having fun coloring while waiting in COOL hospital jammies.

Shortly after waking up from the surgery, enjoying a popcicle. She was starving, but totally out of it. She had to fast before the procedure.

Fake look of horror at first peek of the stitches. She really was fine about the whole thing.

This is the after photo. The purple is marker from when the doctor circled the area he was going to be working on. The kids think the marker oval looks like a football with the stitching down the middle.

She is excited to go to school tomorrow and show her friends her bandage wrapped hand.
