Child Labor???

I've been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks.  I'm also being brave and downloading a video for the first time.  One day when I realized that Henry was being a little "too quiet" this is what I found.

Kidneyversary 2012

It's that time of year again. . .
Kidney Day #11


This is the best diagram that I have found to illustrate what Andrew's kidneys all look like inside of his body. As you can see the old diseased/dead kidneys are still there. They are shriveled and non functioning, but they are still there. The new kidney (aka Janine's kidney) is sitting in the front of his abdomen. This pictures is a little bit backwards, because Andrew's/Janine's kidney is sitting on the opposite side.


These pictures were taken on the day that Andrew and Janine were released from the hospital 11 years ago.



This was taken last year (10 years post transplant).



This is what I am going to attempt to make to take to Andrew to work to share today.

If we lived closer Janine, I would bring some to you too.

Happy 11 year kidneyversary Andrew & Janine!

Hazel's take on Baptism

I had a good laugh the other day about the conversation Hazel and I had while I was washing Hazel's hair in the bathtub.

Hazel: “When you get baptized is there lots of soap in the water?”

Mom: “No there is no soap.”

Hazel: “Is it special water?”

Mom: “No just plain old water.”

Hazel: “If there is no soap in the water then how does Heavenly Father wash away your sins?”
