Surgery

Don't worry, no one needs surgery, but we often perform surgery for fun around here.

I guess Aaron had something seriously wrong with his finger and Sophie performed a successful amputation, though you can see from the photo there is a considerable amount of pain (no anesthesia of course.)

After the amputation, Sophie had to measure for the attachment of a new finger.

Then the serious surgery began. I think this saw is actually to sew the new finger on.

Meanwhile the boys were providing distractions, you know to keep up the morale of the patient.

Finally, Ben made a celebratory...birthday cake. Congratulations on a successful surgery Nurse Carol!!! ( this is what Sophie call herself when performing medical procedures)

Last but not least, Aaron loves to pull all three kids onto his lap and proclaim, "I'm rich!!!!

  1. I miss the days when I could play and not feel or look silly.
    I think its so sweet that Aaron says that when all three kids are on his lap. You have such a happy - good lookin' family.

  5. That last pic and statement I think is going to bring tears to my eyes in about . . . okay, i forced it back. Im at work and that would be embarassing, Otherwise I would be balling now. You guys are rich!
    on a lighter note, all those orange and red scarves looked like the "blood" of the surgury. And I would hate for a nurse to remove my finger. Aaron was very brave.
