Tag's First Weekend Home

12/21/09 -- Tag update:  Still no word from the pathologists who are studying Tag's biopsies.  We remain as anxious as everyone to learn what he's got going on above his right ear.  In the meantime, Tag doesn't seem bothered at all, so I for one am joining him in not being worried or stressed.  We'll keep everyone posted as soon as we know anything.

Tag's brothers, Jordan and Michael came down for the weekend to hang out.  Jordan brought his beautiful girlfriend, Hannah, and true to form, Tag did not disappoint.  For those of you who know Jordan and Michael you'll enjoy the pics below.  Jordan's a senior in High School in Jerome, Idaho.  He had a great senior season on his football team as a linebacker.  He is considering attending Dixie College in St. George, UT and trying to walk on to the football team down there.  This thrills both me and my own Dad, Howard Brinton, as we both attended Dixie and Howard earned All Conference honors in football while there.

Michael is in 8th grade and just won region in wrestling, but his real love is football.  We are all looking forward to watching him play under the lights in high school!  Here's Jordan enjoying some TAG time:

I caught Michael asleep rocking Tag.  This is a very common occurrence, as Tag is a very chill dude and he lulls you to sleep with his funny faces.  (NOTE:  Tag has bandages in this one because he made his first visit to his new Pediatrician and he wanted Tag's band aids to come off so that his stitches could breath, but Tag kept itching them, so we gave him this cool headband to help him help himself) :

Everyone who wants Texas to kick Alabama's butt just like the Runnin' Utes did last year, raise your hand!

We are so grateful for all your kind thoughts and prayers.  See, Tag has helped us all remember the true spirit of Christmas.  For this, we find ourselves extremely full of gratitude.
