We had a grand thanksgiving in Billings. Then enjoyed a visit from my parents and brother. We met with the surgeon this last Wednesday and Des will have surgery on Friday for his hernia. Please say a prayer for him, technically speaking it is a minor surgery but every surgery has very real risks (including anesthesia). We were blessed to be able to get an anesthesiologist and surgeon that I worked with before, they are both very good. We're gearing up for Christmas anxious to see if it will be white or not. =)

Playing with our nifty little play gym. Des can track objects now and is interested in the toys, though not for long before getting sleepy. =)

Getting to know Uncle Jared.

We had a herd of deer come through the backyard this last week. This fence is only ten yards from our living room window. There were a couple of bucks chasing the does and one little fawn bringing up the rear.
