Garden Visitors

 

 

 

These guys decided to drop by and visit this weekend, so of course they got their picture taken. I missed a good shot of a humming bird that has been frequenting, hopefully I will get to my camera in time next time.

Beach Babies

 

 

 

We love the beach, this past weekend was finally sunny, so we headed out to soak up some sun and fresh air. There is something about the waves that are very soothing.

Bradley turned 4!

 

Natalie and Donovan got to go to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate Bradley's 4th birthday. All the kids had a wonderful time, we even managed to convince Natalie and Donovan to hold onto their tickets for our next trip since they both want the "Big" toys that they like to dangle from the ceiling. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BMAN!

Surgery went Great!

Friday's surgery went well, got to the hospital a little before 7:30, got into surgery around 9:30 and was headed home around 2, I think, I was still a little loopy from all the drugs. Daniel got me home and nursed me Friday and Saturday and until he had to go back to work on Sunday, and by nursed, I mean he wouldn't let me do a thing, not even take my plate to the kitchen, but he was so great, I will let him slide on being slightly overbearing. I have slight soreness around the incision, but no other real pain to speak of. Thanks for all the well wishes.

School Dayz!

 

The kids started school today, that's right, Natalie is now a big school kinda girl. Donovan got stung by a yellow jacket yesterday and we had hoped that it wouldn't be very noticeable, however, since he was stung just above his eye, the swelling was pretty noticeable. He asked if he could skip his first day of school and of course, we said no, so off to school he went, totally prepared to be laughed at by the other kids. So we get to his class, and this boy walks up to him and this is the conversation Daniel and I overhear, "Dude, what happened to your eye", "I got stung by a yellow jacket", "That is so cool, when I get stung by bees, my throat swells and I could die"...needless to say, no laughing, and then the day went on for our little man. We left Donovan in his class and took Natalie down to the kindergarten hallway, she did great, and I am happy to report that I didn't shed a tear, not even one. I think it has alot to do with knowing that Natalie is in really good hands with Mrs. Pearce and she was so excited about starting her day. I will miss having babies in the house, but watching them grow is so amazing. (Not to mention, Mrs. Pearce's classroom was so cool, that I wanted to stay for a while)
