Thanksgiving photos!

We had a great thanksgiving weekend! Jared and Camille came from New Mexico and Milwaukee. Rachael, Eli, Eve and Leah also helped us enjoy the week. Leah took a while warming up to us but before they left she was all smiles.

The week brought about six inches of snow before Jared drove up. Luckily the only bad part was in the big horn basin and also luckily he has four wheel drive on the truck.
We had lots of fun sledding behind the four wheeler, too.

Spike bonded with Leah and Eve.


We put up the tree Saturday morning. Camille and Jacob were big helps. I got some new ornaments this year and I think they are lovely.

Jacob's Therapy



Jacob has been going to physical therapy three times a week since surgery. He finally got rid of the crutches. Now he needs to build up the muscles around his knee so he can ditch the brace. Then he will continue to build the muscle until his injured leg is as strong as his other one. 
Here is a picture of him trying to stretch the hamstring out. After not being able to use hsi leg for six weeks the re is a lot of stretching to do. Now he needs to remember how to use his leg again.

Jacob has really missed playing basketball this year. It has been difficult to watch his team mates without being able to help them. He will need to do a lot of open gym nights and camps to get ready for next year.
