update

I was going to post a photo, but apparently I'm out of space according to blogger here.  I'll try to fix that and get a photo up.  Too bad, it was a nice photo.
Anyway...We had a nice Thanksgiving with Mark's family.  The boys had a great time playing games with their cousins, and it was really fun to have Pam (Mark's cousin) and her kids join us. The boys were loving the foosball table that Grandpa dug out and had a good time making up jumping games with Jacob's soccer-ball-on-a-rope too.

In other news, I was finally released from my Relief Society calling back in September.  It had been close to four years serving in that calling and I was starting to burnout, so it was a welcome change, but I do miss seeing and talking with some good friends every week.  My new calling was finalized about a week and a half ago.  I'm the new Bear Den leader for our ward.  I have some mixed feelings about it -- I'm really glad that I get the opportunity to hang out with Jacob, but the leader who was released was doing such a great job and loving it, that it makes me sad to replace her.  Although I really feel like the more I get going with this calling, the more I'm going to have fun with it.

And finally, after three plus months of pain in my heel and foot, I decided it was time to see a doc.  Diagnosis: mild case of plantar fasciitis with a particular point of painful scar tissue in my heel.  Pretty much expected that's what was going on.  I got some arch supports for my shoes and some home exercises to do.  I was also told to roll my heel around on a frozen golf ball to work on the scar tissue.  Anyone have an old golf ball hanging around?  I swear it's the only kind of ball we DON'T have in the garage!  Hopefully with time it will feel better and if not, I'll sign up for some physical therapy.
