Poor Matt & Happy Birthday

In October Matt had surgery on his left heel to remove a bone spur that was huge. It was a painful hook of bone that would sometimes rip into his achilles. Here's a picture before surgery with the bone spur-
Matt has spent a lot of time in bed with his foot elevated and both Owen & Ava have spent hours hanging out just chillin with their Dad.
Thankfully, the recovery is moving along and yesterday was his first day to work without crutches.

And while recovering, Matt had a birthday!

Here's the kids hanging out with Dad on his birthday.

Owen wanted to get Matt an Optimus Prime Transformer for his birthday. He was so excited to give it to him. And because Matt's such a nice guy Owen even gets to play with it every once in a while.
