It is a great day! Roger's surgery went very well yesterday. Thank you to everyone who had him in their thoughts and prayers. They ended up doing four bypasses - weren't sure if they would have to do three or four. The surgeon said that the damage to his heart from the heart attack was very minimal as they were able to get the stent in so quickly. He is still in ICU this morning, but should be moved to a room in the cardiac unit today. He's in a lot of pain, but doing very well for what he's been through. You can send him an email card through Allen Hospital's website. www.allenhospital.org

It is also our wedding anniversary today. We received a card in the mail from Chris's dad on Monday. It surprised us both. With RAGBRAI and Roger's surgery, it really wasn't on either of our radars. Hard to believe that we've been married for nine years, or is it that we've only been married for nine years.

Aside from that, girls are growing, grass is growing, Chris continues to work on getting the house ready for siding.
