Latest updates from Highland

As Dad and Mom indicated, we were able to have baby Harvey blessed and sealed Friday. It was a wonderful day and Cally and Jed had lots of support from friends and family. The birth mothers parents (who Anette and I knew from our singles ward at BYU) were also able to attend.

It was an eventful week for us. Thursday Cally also found out that she and Jed are having a baby boy. I think she is about three or four months along.

No one from Anette's family attended because the prior weekend Anette's mom had a couple of heart attacks. She has actually had several over the past three years or so but refused to go to the doctor. These finally got her attention enough that she went to the emergency room in Mesquite Sunday night and they transferred her by ambulance to St. George. Tuesday morning she ended up having heart surgery with five bypasses. So Anette spent much of the week down there prior to the sealing.

Thankfully her mom is recovering at home now and is doing well. Anette will be going back down soon to take care of her. Creed and I will be left to fend for ourselves for several days.

Sunday night Toby had surgery to have the pin removed from his leg. He is laying at my feet right now under my office desk. He should be fully recovered in a few days. He still has a plate, several screws and some wire in his leg but those will stay put.

We had snow on the ground Sunday morning. It has been cold since Friday but we are supposed to be back in the 70s by this weekend. I'm hoping for a nice November because I'd like to get in a couple more fishing trips.
