Time to Catch up Again

Time really seems to fly by so fast these days. We have been very busy with doctor appointments and nursing visits following Sarah's surgery. Sarah is doing extremely well and the doctor seems to be very pleased with her progress. Sarah seems to be tolerating the nursing visits okay - luckily the doctor and the nurse don't take Sarah's less than happy greeting personally.

Our neighbour is very excited about Sarah and is always bringing her yummy things to eat. Here is a picture of one of her most generous visits - Sarah just loves all the treats she brings.

She was so excited when Sarah agreed to sit on her knee for this cute picture.

We also made another trip to visit Wes's Mom in Picton at the farm. Sarah did manage to pet two of the horses eventually but the sun was in the wrong direction and we missed the photo op. but here she is with Daddy visiting her horse Princess.

Grandma has a statue of a horse on her front lawn and Sarah seems to like petting this one more - here she is showing Pink Kitty the nice - non-moving, smaller horse.

Sarah still seems to like Grandma's and Poppies barn cat the most - she even let Sarah pet her this time, but she did have to be persistent in chasing her for a while.
Poppy was away fishing on this visit but Sarah did pose for this lovely photo with Grandma.

Grandma's friend, Florence made this beautiful quilt for Sarah - thanks Florence and Ernie - I know Sarah will treasure it for many years to come.

We have a home care nurse come in twice a week to help with Sarah's post-operative care - on this visit the nurse left Sarah a pair of gloves so she got out her stethoscope and posed with her most serious future doctor face she could come up with.

Sarah and I were also invited to a Fireman's Brunch at the Fire Hall one Sunday. They put on a big delicious spread and Sarah was not shy with eating her breakfast that morning. Afterwards we posed with Daddy's crew and Platoon Chief. Sarah has visited the fire hall a number of times and is quite familiar with Daddy's crew now.

Daddy's Captain's wife, Polly was also invited to Brunch and Sarah took quite a shine to her right away and posed for a nice picture with Polly.Sarah really had a great time at the Fire Hall.

Today Mommy had to get her hair cut and Sarah needed her first bang trim - we weren't to sure if she would be interested or allow it but the hair dresser was flexible so we gave it a try. Grandma came along to help keep Sarah occupied while Mommy had her hair cut. Here is Sarah thinking about it while Mommy gets her hair done and she tries out the chair and it's kind of a before picture.

The hairdresser Laura was really great - she not only had to convince Sarah to trim her bangs but she had to hit a moving target and she had to temporarily give up her necklace in the process.

After Mommy and Sarah were beautified - Grandma, Mommy and Sarah went out for a celebratory lunch at Wendys - as you can see the finished bang trimming turned out great.Tomorrow, Mommy, Grandma and Sarah have to go to Sick Kids to see the surgeon again - hopefully we will be able to get a date for Sarah's second surgery. Also, this weekend is Wes's Annual Family Reunion in Picton so I should be able to update more frequently than I have been.
