Zachary Walker Koons...our new nephew!

My sister-in-law Kara had a baby last Tuesday and we are so thrilled. Zach is adorable and Josh and I cannot wait to meet him. Here are some pictures of the little guy!

Frustration...

May 1 marked my one year "anniversary" of my initial surgery on my foot and today marks my one year anniversary of my second surgery. As the month goes and we get into June I will have 9 anniversaries...:-) I went to return some sandals (wedges) that I bought online at DSW because they ended up not working. My "doctored" foot couldn't handle the wedge and my foot has also changed sizes sort of....I used to be a solid 9 1/2 but my foot is difficult and I am now a 9 or 9 1/2.

While returning my wedges I decided to search for some sandals...it was so frustrating because I can't just wear any pair of shoes anymore. I tried on several pairs but they just didn't seem to work. I finally tried on a cute pair of silver gladiator sandals and I think they might work...we shall see. My foot has healed very well this past year but I still have extra fatty tissue on the top of my foot that has still not settled and looks...well, fatty! I have learned to "give it up" and let people stare at my foot because I refuse to wear closed-toe shoes in the summer. :-) I see my surgeon coming up in June so we shall see what he says about lyposuction.

I am attaching a picture of my foot in case anyone is interested in seeing what exactly I am talking about. :-) I also attached a picture of my arm...I know...my arm can be compared to many different sizes, shapes, objects. I have heard shark bite, avocado, balloon and kite. :-) My foot has also been compared to an avocado. haha I have a long way to go (many years) for both of them to heal.

Hotlanta

This past weekend I went to Atlanta to spend the weekend for my sister-in-law's baby shower. I arrived Thursday and we went to dinner and to grab Krispy Kremes...I had not had a donut in probably a year or so. It was delish! Friday we spent the day doing a little shopping and Saturday we had the baby shower for Kara. It was very nice and many people were able to come! She got so many cute things for little Zach. It was a nice get-away from school and I wished it could have been a little longer. Here are some pictures to wrap up the weekend.
