A Slow Cooker Thanksgiving
11 months ago
Nathan went to the cardiologist today, as a follow up from his problems they found right before and right after he was born. The hole that was in his heart in the ultrasound before I had him has completely healed. However, his heart is still having the problem they found after he was born, which is basically chamber confusion. The blood is going into the wrong chamber, the wrong way through the flap in his heart. It is better (less flow) than when he was born, so we decided to watch him for a few more months and hopefully it will take care of itself and we won't need to do anything surgically for him!
We decided finally after oh 6 or so years to take the dead trees out of the backyard. We borrowed Pops truck and his saw and went to work!! The manual labor was a bit much, so we called a friend, Dale and he came over with his chain saw to help us... his cost, dinner! After we ate dinner the guys went out back to work, and got 4 of the trees out! They decided to pull them up from the roots, it was SO funny!! I wish I would have video'd it. I forgot about taking pictures until it started to get dark and then my camera broke, so I used my phone to take this one. The only tree left in our backyard now is the big palm tree, which the guys are going to take out this next week!! It just got to dark to take it down last night! David spent the afternoon today out back with a shovel filling in the holes so the kids won't fall in them! Slowly but surely we are working on the yard!
