Something Sweet...

My sister, Kati, told me that my blog is being over run with sad, somewhat graphically disturbing pictures and that I should considering posting "something nice". So with that, I dedicate this post to her--

This is a picture of a cookie bouquet that we put together for some friends. We used Starr's Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe and Allyson's Rolo Cookie recipe. We skewered them and stuck them into a Styrofoam block. I had lots of helpers putting these together: Kailyn, Tia, Lukas and Bob rolled the Rolo cookies and Peggy did the cookie "arrangement". Kelly found all the tissue paper and the basket. One night, I was curled up on the couch reading and Reece came in--he said he was cold and wrapped himself in a blanket and curled up right in front of the fire. I turned back to my book for only a few minutes and when I turned back, he was sound asleep. What could be cuter? After taking a few pictures (and calling everyone to see how cute he looked) Richard scooped him up and put him in bed.

Castless Bob

After several long weeks the cast finally came off!! We had to wait for 3 hours in the Orthopaedic Clinic for them to x-ray and cut off the cast. Bob was so glad to see his leg again...

His foot is still very swollen and it was covered with dead, scaling skin and scabs leftover from the original accident.

Check out his nasty ankle...
I know the picture isn't the best but can you see all the peeling skin...
Here's a picture of his scabby leg (which all peeled off).

This is a huge piece of skin that came off of the top of his foot!

Bob is walking but very slowly. He still has to have some physio-therapy but hopefully he'll be back at work soon.
