MY BOYS

Micah fell asleep in our bed the other day. I think he "forgot" to wash his face after lunch. No worries though, he was on Eric's pillow!! HA! He was sure tuckered out. Slept through the flash and everything :) Isn't there something so sweet about SLEEPING kids??? Somehow when they are awake, reality is so much more fresh. Micah does bring lots of humor to our home though. Just this morning he announched that he "diatortilla" in the potty and it was 'icky'.. Yes, we tried to get him to say the word right... but diatortilla is just what wanted to come out of his mouth... LOL

Funny sayings aren't exclusively Micah's territory though. The other day Noah came home from school announcing that his teacher told him to tell his parents to make sure to check for "head lights" in their hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my... we joked around about that... and for days it was, "Mom, head light check?" (said in the most serious tone!) Yes, son.. lets check for those "head lights".... said while holding back the laughter... When asked what they were, he knew they were little bugs but to call them "head lights" seemed ever so natural... Kids.... they keep us young!


Here's my oldest and my youngest... Noah and Joey have a special little bond going on right now. It's VERY sweet to watch the 2 of them interact. Here Noah is playing Legos Star Wars on the Wii (game system for the TV). These 2 are also the 2 that look the most alike. I was trying to get a profile of them both, tho i suppose the binkie rather interferes with that look, now doesn't it?! LOL
Just a few pics to share. They are getting so big and we're loving every second of it.

An Overdue Knee Update

So, last week - or was it the week before, I can't remember.... I had my appointment with the orthopedist. Dr. Kennedy did a thorough exam of my knee and ordered a few more x-rays (this time with me standing instead of lying down). After viewing the x-ray he said that it shows that everything is in GREAT shape! The joint is solid and there is no need for anything further.

As for the joint pain, he pointed out that anytime a joint has surgery, it's never the "Same" as before. It's likely to be more sensitive than the other. Any pain or imflamation can be handled with Aleve.

So, huge praises that there will not be any need for surgery. :)

It's still bothering me some, but not as much as it was a month ago. Who knows, maybe in the anxiety of everything my mind was on hyper alert to any twinge of discomfort?! LOL

Regardless, thank you for your prayers and your support thru the last 2 months of this waiting process.

getting really techy!

so i figured out how to edit my html codes and paste in my own blogging template! i've been wanting to do this for ages and i did it today!!! wahoo!!!! i love having more options :)

today is a lazy, lay low, just GET THRU The day kind of day. it started at 2:15 am when Carissa started throwing up! ugh. yuck. currently, she's already had one short nap (it's not even noon yet) and thrown up once since 4 am. micah is running 101.7 but NOT throwing up... joey is sporting a nice color of YELLOW snot....lovely.

today was my MOPS group but i didn't get to go. i was very disappointed. I so love those couple hours with my girlfriends as we support each other on this journey of motherhood.

but it's the weekend soon - thank you Jesus! :) I'm singing Sunday - so pray I don't get sick with whatever crud is being passed around our home. the lysol wipes have been out in full affect today and i'm a hand washin' fool! HAHAHAHA!

My dreamers...

We woke up to the temperature outside being at 33.5 this morning. BRRRR..... The kids were of course asking to play outside early on in the morning. They just couldn't understand that with the beautiful sun shining, that it wasn't acceptable playing temps! I finally let them out right after lunch and it was a beautiful 62 or so! Perfect when the sun is baring down on ya but a might chilly in the shade. Micah and Carissa pulled out the swimming pool and played in it for a couple hours (minus the water of course!). They had a tea party and Micah went fishing with his stick he'd found. They had fun! I can tell though that they are already wishing summer was back and the lazy days of playing outside all day everyday were still a reality. The fact is, soon they'll be wearing their big ole snow pants and snow boots and gloves and hats and winter jackets and they'll be making snow men and snow balls and snow forts. And they'll think nothing of a little relaxing in a frozen swimming pool full of snow!!! HA HA HA HA!
