New Year - New Look

It was time for a little remodeling. If you know me, I thrive on good ol' change. My house gets rearranged quarterly (at least) and my wardrobe needs updating from time to time, even my hair gets chopped off every other year or so. Ha! Anyway, the blog needed a new look. Not too far from the old look, but an updated pic and a slightly new background. Enjoy!

Also, take a look at our ALL NEW family photos. Crissy Bayless, of Bayless Photography, came through again with some great shots of the Zbeebs. Hope you like them - and Happy New Year!

Asa visits with Santa

Well, he didn't smile, but he didn't cry... a step in the right direction.

Thanksgiving Thanks!

After yesterday's gore, I decided to take a lighter approach to today's post. We are getting super excited for the holiday season, but wanted to thank all those that made our Thanksgiving a great week! Love y'all.

Basal Cell Carcinoma

Warning: the following blog post contains graphic images of the Mohs surgery performed on my right temple yesterday. If you are squeamish, look no further! If you are indeed curious, consider yourself forewarned!

Pre-surgery:

Marked up for the hacking:

First round of digging:

Didn't get it all, so a second round was required (fun!):

Getting stitched up:

Post-op care instructions:

Pressure bandage that had to be worn for 24 hours -
Asa was not a big fan:

Post-op Day 1 -
a good facial reconstructive surgeon puts the scar in the hairline (nice!):
Well, friends, let this be a lesson - if you have little ones, lather them up with sunscreen every time you go out. Most of your lifetime's sun exposure happens under the age of 18. I haven't gotten burned in years - heck, I hadn't really been out in the sun much until Asa came along. At any rate, now that I have had this spot, I am predisposed for more to come. Lovely. Friends don't let friends get sunburn - share your SPF! :-)
