Tonsilectomy

Garrett before surgery:

Garrett after surgery:
I was extremely lucky to find one of my great friends had moved back from Virginia and was Garretts OR nurse. He made the transition from pre-op to the OR tolerable, no screaming or crying-okay maybe a few tears on each our faces.

RRRGGGGHHH!

Okay, I'm doing an update even though I can't locate my camera to add pictures...why can't I locate my camera you ask? Well, we pulled out most of the carpet in the upstairs and replaced it with hardwood floors so everything is in boxes in the garage. I can't wait to show it off!

Today they sanded the floors so everyone and everything is covered in dust and its driving me nuts because its in between my toes! I hate that.

The hardest part is going to be the next three days when we can't walk on it from 8-5. I begged for a hotel room but Jeff clenched his cheeks again and said we could tough it out in the basement. The hardest part is going to be walking across the street to use my favorite neighbors bathroom when the Crohns hits in the mornings. Thanks Jan, we will be forever indebted to you!!

Garrett is doing great, he is off the pain medication, back to preschool, and eating corndogs again. He still is sleeping in my bed and I have a feeling he will milk that for a while although I can't take much more of his hot stinky breath on my face. I long for a night of uninterrupted sleep.

Em paid me the best compliment....she wanted her hair cut just like mine. Now I have a mini-me, or as my good friend put it "how does it feel to have your own my twin doll?"

I promise that as soon as I find my camera I'll post pictures of the house and Garretts surgery.

Soccer

Garrett started soccer a few weeks ago (it was very cold when I took some of these pictures and that is why he is wearing pants and a shirt under his uniform) and he has found his niche.

Today only one other teammate made it to the game and the two of them won the game

6 to 0

Garrett made half of those points

but he'll tell you he made all of them

Thanks largely in part to his dad, Austin, and Matt he thinks he is David Beckham.

Random Thursday night.

As some may know, Jeff is out riding his new mountain bike for four days in Moab. What does one do when single? Par-tay.unfortunately it is with homemade scones

and five kids.

Tomorrow night?

Chuck-e-cheese baby!

Easter

Thanks to our church starting at 8:30am we had to delay the egg hunt until after church which was explained by telling them that the Easter bunny wanted to make sure they thought of Jesus first.but due to some delays the Gilly made it home before we did and found all the eggs...

but I made him re-hide them all so his sisters could partake....

And what did we get for Easter?


Chicks!!!

Tonsilectomy....

Guess who gets his tonsils out on April 21st?Anyone offering to help I will accept, in fact I'm asking for help.

He has to be down for 7 days straight.....no soccer, no tumbling, no soccer, no soccer.

What am I going to do?
