December has been a busy month for this wife and mommy. On Tuesday, November 29th, John had hip surgery to repair a torn labrum. The surgery was successful and his recovery, while pretty extensive, is going well. Taking care of him, the kids, the normal home stuff, and all the Christmas prep has made for a pretty non-stop few weeks.
Since we knew John would be incapacitated for a couple of months, we had to make sure all the Christmas stuff was out of the garage rafters before his surgery. So right after Thanksgiving, we decorated the house.
Of course, we have to include a couple of pics of the patient of surgery day...
