Mmmmmmmmm
Before I describe what's cooking right now, let's back up a couple of days for a few updates:
Jason's surgery
Jason is recovering well and doing quite a bit considering. Rachel thinks looking at his tummy with concern is really interesting, which has meant that Rachel has become very interested in belly buttons. If you see her in the next week beware - she may lift up your shirt to have a look!
Rachel's weight
We went to Children's Hospital on Dec 20th for her follow up weight appointment, where Rachel was measured at 18 lbs, 6.9oz. This wasn't too bad considering she had been sick and not eating very much in the last few days. It was actually a little bit more than her expected weight gain over the last month, and she was discharged with no further intervention needed. Yay!
Flying to VA
We left Denver before the snow hit Colorado and, thanks to our friend Sarah D for visiting/driving us/helping us carry our bags, we left safely. Rachel slept for the first hour of the flight, and did quite well for the remaining 2 hours. No concerns at all with the trip.
Cooking up a feast
Our first task while visiting Grandmother Oliver is to help take down as much food as possible from the house. We're starting with a Christmas feast. The Montana family is coming over for dinner, and I (Meggan) wanted to be 'in charge' of the whole deal. So the turkey is cooking. The green bean casserole is done, the sweet potatoes are topped with half marshmellows and half pecans, the mashed potatoes are done, the stuffing is done. Jason is working on making his grandmother's famous rolls. The ham, brussels sprouts, and gravy are coming. Karen and Susan are sous-chefs and in charge of Rachel for the day. The Montanas are bringing dessert! Sounds and smells fantastic to us.
Happy harvesting to everyone!
