Chris had his fourth surgery today. They successfully finished closing his palate. He should be physically able to make completely normal speech sounds now. Yea!

He is a real trooper. He left the house at 5 am and was discharged at 11:30 am. After he got home, he played. Unfortunately, he can only eat soft food for 2 weeks. Thanks to all who prayed for him.

We decided to start the new year with an old family tradition: face painting. Well it's not that old, really. OK, we've never done it before. But the kids took a vote and chose this over sauerkraut and black-eyed peas.

First up is Mommy. Though a year older, she is pretty as a Peacock. (Artwork by Aaron.)


Daddy says he'll stop Robin the family of time together when he finishes the Electronic Chart installation at work. (Artwork by Shannon.)


Shannon promises to hop right to her New Year's resolutions. (Artwork by Shannon and Daddy.)

Chris say he will have a roaring good time in 2008. (Artwork by Shannon and Mommy.)

Happy New Year and Many Felicitations!
