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! :-)

Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving was spent in chilly Lexington, KY, but the weather didn't stop us from having fun. We enjoyed spending time with all our cousins, aunts, uncles, and grands! We also loved seeing the horses and cows on nearly every car ride and even getting a chance to see some horses up close and personal. For more pics, click here! Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful, too.

Thank You, Jiddo and Grandma Jane

Asa always loves opening presents. Thank you to Jiddo and Grandma Jane for the belated birthday gifts! The popcorn packaging was a big hit... but the vet kit really took the cake.



Books are always winners at this house, too!


Thank You, Yia-Yia

Asa received a belated birthday gift from Yia-Yia. He was super excited about the Choo-Choo book! And he told me to save his money for a rainy day! Thanks, Yia-Yia.


This Game Could Have Gone On FOREVER!

Asa's really into repetition!
