A little funny magic

"Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things"

We all had a first this week. We got to say "hi" to and touch Dancer, the reindeer. There was a Christmas Open House at the hospital and the reindeer came for a visit. It was SO cold, but really fun. The best thing about the reindeer for me was that it reinforced the magic of the season with the kids. The magic only lasts for a handful of years with kids and I hate that it is starting to diminish. So this was such a blessing for the kids to rekindle it.

On our way out of the hospital, we ran into a nurse who was giving tours of the operating room. The kids got hats and masks at the tour so it was inevitable that there would be some serious surgeries going on at home that night.

The shots were given by a dart gun and prep was through hand sanitizer.

Dont worry, Brock pulled through and survived!

We have been fortunate to Skype a couple times this week with Ryan. The novelty of seeing your face on the computer screen has not worn off for the kids, they mostly make funny faces, funny noises and extreme close ups for daddy. However, we love being able to see Ry and tell him about our day.

I hope everyone has a great week. Remember the little things, the magic and the funny things to be grateful for.
