Sorry, I still haven't had time to figure out our picture thing. So for now, I will just give you a little update on our lives:
Jayna's Arm: Her surgery was a success, for the most part. The nails were removed, but it took a lot of time and hard work on Dr. Goethe's part. Also, he accidentally cut the tendon that controls her thumb, so she is in a soft cast for a bit longer to heal that properly. We think she will be cast free Feb. 12th.
Aaron and Jen's Vacation: Yes, we managed to sneak away for a few days and went to Las Vegas baby! Aaron hadn't been there before, and we got a really good deal. We had a super time! We stayed at the Mandalay Bay resort, which was very nice and a bit quieter than the middle of the strip. We were able to visit the Shark Reef Aquarium, House of Blues (gospel brunch), Hoover Dam, Siegfried and Roy's Secret Garden, Antique Car Show, the mall and a wonderful show, "LOVE Cirque du Soleil." We really enjoyed being together. The girls stayed at home with Amber. They were super happy each time we called, which made our time away that much better. Of course, it was really nice to come home and be a family again.
Other: There is not much else to report, other than we are all healthy (praise God!) and living our day to day lives. We are thankful for so many things: each other, a loving/forgiving Father, health, "the necessities" and then much more, wonderful family/friends/church family, etc. We do have our ultrasound with the specialist on Thursday. We are trusting God that all is well, and He has a perfect plan for this baby within our family and beyond.
May you be encouraged today: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13

Jenn, it's the strangest thing, but i have seen that verse so many times since our last bible study when Linda's friend visited. I love it. It is so reassuring. Glad to hear that you are doing well, and i will be praying that your ultrasound shows a healthy and growing baby. I have a growth ultrasound next Wednesday and look forward to seeing my baby girl again :)
Jenn, I don't usually get online,but I had a chance tonight to check up on the Hess Family! I'm so glad to hear you are all doing well. Sounds like Jayna still has a little healing to go, but it won't be long. I had bunion surgery a week before Chistmas, and I'm still laid up. I won't be back to work until Feb 17th. It's a very long process, but I'm doing well. Sounds like Vegas was wonderful - how fun! I've got a great book for you to read... The Shack. I'm sure you've heard it, or even read it. It's well worth the time to read. I can't wait to hear about the healthy ultra sound. Take care, Courtney
It was wonderful spending time with you last week!
