Shannon is HOME!

Ward family camp-out near Globe, AZ.

An update on Shannon, and a few extra pictures because it was her 17th birthday.  

Her freshly cut bangs.  I wasn't too happy with them being cut.  

Shannon was released from the hospital on January 2nd.  She will have a pretty good looking scar and always  have to supplement her B-12 (something to do with the intestine that was removed), but she recovered amazingly fast and well.  Compared to when she went into the hospital she is 99% better.  She is up walking around and even went on a date on her birthday: Red Lobster.....who can turn that down?!  Right? 

Her volleyball 'career'.  Here she is spiking the ball.

School starts tomorrow and I'm not sure how well she will do with that....but we will give it a try.  The walking to and from classes will probably wear her out but socializing with friends just might make her last the whole day through.  

At a girls camp last summer - and it was the most miserable camp I personally had ever been too.  While lovely and pretty during the day - the nights were almost unbearable.  Cold beyond cold.  The ground bumpy beyond comfort.  

I think this was her first official date picture.  

I will need to come back and do another birthday blog on Shannon.  I need to find some cute baby photos and scan them because I didn't have any on
my computer.
