Best Father of the Year Award goes to...


Phillip Taylor Kimball

Phil has changed more dirty diapers in the last three weeks than in years past, done laundry, bathed, clothed and fed three kids, taken them on outings, gotten up early with them, and waited on his wife hand and foot! I am so grateful for such a wonderful husband. He has been so terrific that I don't know what I'll do without him on Monday when I'm on my own again! There is going to be some serious withdrawl, not only for me, but for the kids as well. He has been amazing and has not complained once. I am the luckiest girl in the world!!

I apologize for the picture overload. Hopefully, you have a couple minutes and can browse through the pictures of the last couple weeks, put into one huge post. Its mainly for posterity purposes, but wanted to show that we have been enjoying the holidays with all our wonderful family and friends.

I am up and about and doing wonderfully. We are so grateful for all of your thoughts and prayers and know they have attributed to a speedy recovery.
The surgery went better than expected as the tumor was a meningioma instead of a schwannoma and no nerve endings had to be removed. The test came back that it is completely benign!
I feel so blessed and can't express how grateful we are for all the visits, calls, e-mails, meals, help with the kids, etc. We trully have the most spectacular friends and family!
Thank YOU!!
