Laila's Doc Visit

We finally took Laila in to see the GI specialist yesterday. As I suspected, they believe that she is - how to put this delicately - experiencing prolapse when she uses the bathroom.  We're not sure why this is happening as she seems otherwise totally healthy.  For now (and the next month or so) she will take MiraLAX everyday to see if it helps. If the problem continues on after trying this she will likely have to have a colonoscopy. Needless to say, we REALLY don't want her to have to do that. So, for now we will just hold tight and see what happens.

H-E-E-R

I know it's hard to remember - especially after 9 years - but my last name is: Heer.

It is not Herr.

It's not a huge mistake, but it's also not.our.name.

4 letters:

H...2 E's...and a R.

H-E-E-R

Thanks.

Happy 2012!!

These are just a few pictures from our holiday festivities (that now seem like 100 years ago). Bill has a ton of pictures on his camera that may be stuck in there forever because he never does anything with them.

We feel so happy to have so many friends and family who we love and they love us back.

We are also beyond grateful for such a mild winter - I actually carried the garbage out today with bare feet. BARE FEET, people.

Cheers to a New Year filled with more fun, more love, and more craziness.
