Catching up

We've had a busy few weeks.  In big news, I finished law school this week.  I am anxiously awaiting my grades to post, and assuming I passed my last three classes, then I will breathe a big sigh of relief when I receive my diploma in the mail right before Christmas.

L's surgery was the beginning of November and we stayed for 8 nights.  It was a very traumatic hospitalization for her (and us) and we are just starting to feel like things are returning to normal again.  As a result of the surgery, we've had many lab and clinic days, and we just had a short (in and out same day) admission to get the final tube removed from her liver.  If her labs look good this week, we will begin to taper her labs a bit to space them out.

L has been tremendously happy and active at home.  She has been such a three-year-old.  So sweet, super naughty, and full of exhausting energy.

We have been busy getting ready to host Christmas.  It truly is a magical time of year and even more so with a child.  It seems like this is the first year that L gets the concept of Christmas.

More specific updates and stories to come.  But I wanted to give you all just a quick snippet of what we've been up to.

And of course, I can never leave you without a picture.
