November

Today we here in Virginia had our first frost.  Marissa and I had a fire going last night because it was so cold.  Here is the update for the Vaughn Family.  Looks like God has blessed us with an opportunity for Marissa.  This opportunity gives us a legitimate shot at making it to a Frania Christmas.

DOCTORS…DOCTORS…DOCTORS

Marissa is in pain again today and it appears the doctors forgot some placenta in the womb.  This will hopefully be corrected tomorrow at her OB/GYN appt.  The rest of the family is sick with a nasty little cold but appear to be on the recovery.  This sickness is the reason the blog posts have been a little slow.

Doctor Appointments and Don’t forget to say excuse me!

Today, our cat Bofo had his dental procedure done.  He is still a bit off from the anesthesia but his teeth are pearly white.  Marissa has been having pain while breastfeeding.  We have reason to believe she may be suffering from a breast milk infection.  Hopefully tomorrow at the doctor we can get the issue resolved.  On a funny note, at dinner tonight I (paul) accidentaly burped.   Jake was quick to say, “Somebody forgot to say excuse me!”  What a laugh that caused.  I am thankful that he keeps me in line.
