Daniel's Eye Surgery!

Daniel's surgery on Monday couldn't have gone better! The orthopedic surgeon, Dr Piehl, took approximately 7cm of tendon off of the top of his right foot while the opthamologist created a muscle for his right lid. The nurses were great! Before the doctor's got there, Daniel enjoyed riding up and down the halls on all of the cars/wagons. After surgery, we were in and out of recovery in no time! The nurse sent him home with a dose of Tylenol w/ codeine so we figured he would be OUT for a few hours at least! NOT SO MUCH! He stayed up all day long but then crashed Monday night and slept through the night! His recovery so far has been fantastic! We haven't even bothered with anymore Tylenol. He has learned to walk around on his cast like a pro! I will try and get some pictures uploaded soon! Everyone has been really great about praying for us and calling or coming by to check on Daniel! We are so grateful to have such loving friends and family!

Holidays with the Bledsoes!

This year, Christmas and New Year's were huge blessings for our family. We kept it simple and enjoyed time with friends and family! Daniel got too many toys to list and really got into opening his presents this year! He had to help Daddy open his too!

Since my Grandma Crowley died January of last year, my dad's family gathered on December 13th (instead of Christmas day) to celebrate Christmas, as well as Grandma's birthday!

Here is a picture of my dad and his siblings and other pictures from the gathering:

Daniel also had his FIRST Christmas play at school! He wasn't too fond of the idea (He and his girlfriend, Katie, cried the whole time), but he was still cute as a button!

On a lighter note, Daniel has been doing extremely well with potty training during the holidays and has been wearing his big boy underwear pretty much 24/7!! He loves to inform people that he has them on! It's really cute!

Overall, we've had a wonderful and blessed 2009 and look forward to having an even better 2010!! God Bless!!!
