Busy November

As many of you know, Darrin has Carpal Tunnel in both hands and on Monday, November 22nd, he had surgery on both hands. As you can see from the picture, it was not his happiest time. The surgery went well though, and he has already noticed a big difference in his hands. He spent 7 days the way you see him here and is currently in the middle of 4-6 weeks of not lifting more than 5 pounds. It has been a hard adjustment for him, but it is worth it to have his hands feeling better. The day after his surgery, we celebrated our 8th Anniversary! Luckily, we got the chance to celebrate before his surgery. That was also the week of Thanksgiving, but fortunately, by then Darrin was able to feed himself!

Caleb's 2 year pictures

We took Caleb to have his 2 year pictures taken the weekend before Thanksgiving. I thought this would be far enough before the Holidays that we wouldn't have to fight crowds at the the picture place, but I was so wrong. We had an appointment, but still had to wait for 45 minutes and by then Caleb was in no mood for pictures. However, we did get two really nice shots of him, several good family shots, and amazingly enough, one of just Darrin and I. You'll notice there is also a shot of Caleb throwing one of his tractors at the photographer! =)
