Update on the Goehner Pack:
Thank you so much to all of our supportive friends and family who have been helping us out over the last 2 weeks... whether it was with thoughts, prayers, meals, help with the kids, etc. we are so blessed and grateful for all of it!
So, it has been 2 weeks now since Brendan had back surgery to repair a severely herniated disc in the L5 area of his spine. The surgery went well, and his recovery has been slow but positive! Although we have a long road ahead, we couldn't feel more thankful for how God has touched his back and the process at hand. Dylan loves to look at the "awesome" scar now that the staples are out- he thinks it looks like Dad got shot and apparently that is cool! Makena is warming back up to Dadda now that she's not afraid of hurting him, and their relationship should be back on track in no time! I definitely feel as though I did NOT miss my calling in life to be a nurse--- I love my husband, but am sooooo glad to have him coming back to normal! Thanks again to all of you who have helped us out- especially a big shout out to Ema and Epa who have been my constant ROCK throughout this whole ordeal! You guys are the greatest... (my Mom has even been known to drive over just to do my dishes!) In conclusion, bring on the sun- bring on the golfing- bring on the waterpark- and bring on some wrestling cuz the Goehner's are almost "back" in business!!!

The Many Faces of The Doodle!




Say Cheese!


Makena has become quite the ham when it comes to the camera! She loves to pose for pictures by tilting her head and putting on the cheesiest little face... then yelling "Ches!" She even loves to pretend to take her own picture with her play cell phones-- we're in trouble!
