Here's what you've missed:
Thanduxolo is fantastic, he made it through surgery and recovered with flying colors (despite the doubts of his doctors.) A few members of the mission team from my church were able to visit him while they were all there in May. He was doing better, but he was taken in about mid-August to reverse his colostomy. As of August 22nd he was still in the hospital on IV nutrition. This little guy is such a trooper. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers so that he may gain his strength and get back to his childhood.
Speaking of surgery, I had knee surgery! I had an MRI on my knee (which has been giving me grief since May of LAST year) and they found a plica. Yes... I know it sounds fake. Of course it's some rarity that only 20% of the population have going on and rarely does it flare up. I also had a crack in the cartilage under my kneecap which could've been the culprit for my year of pain too. So...I guess I'm lucky ;) Surgery went very well and my knee pain was immediately relieved. Physical therapy has helped me start to regain strength and normal range of motion. We're not all the way there yet, but I should be running/doing whatever I want again in 4-6 weeks.

Oh! And the puppies had their first birthday on July 14th. They've gotten so big (*sniffle.*) We celebrated with some homemade pup-cakes, some new toys/treats and a trip to Pineview Reservoir where they went swimming for the first time. Pepper swims like a big black hairy fish, and Bailey sat on the waters edge like a big weenie (actually, she did fine once Pepper stopped dunking her. Pff...sisters.)

Hope all is well with you! Have a great Labor Day weekend!
