Meanwhile.. back at the ranch...

Here we are..

FINALLY.. we got to see Dad at the ranch. I know, CHristmas miracle, right? We spent a quality Mondee night with Dad and most of us kids. We spent quality time with about a trillion flies, smelly funk in the air.. and a bird pooped on couch (I swear I thought it was paint..sorry baby sis).. oh, and about a million anti bacterial hand wipes.. courtesy of aunty COrk.

Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure..

I love Braxton's face.. hilarious!

Baby sis.. visiting uncle Benny.

Mom popped 3 discs in her back soon after this was taken. Ok, not really.


Ben kept getting his body parts in the pictures.. at least he kept it clean on this one..

Hailey gettin nice and dirty !




Baby sis LOVES her Grandpa!! She was shy at first.. but soon fell right back in love for him. Can't wait to see how amazing their relationship will grow..

Now, there's Dad.. Snaps to Marie Callendars for the pies.. delish. Dad is doing really good at the ranch. He loves it there. He is excited to come home and sleep in his own bed and have good hashbrowns.. (watch out VIRG's.. there's a storm comin!!).. He has put on 60 lbs at the ranch... which is good.. when we got discharged from the hospital, he looked Auschwitz-like. 10 days to go!!
