Wait a Minute!
What is Forest doing with Logan’s Puppy?!
Update
Recovering well from the oral surgery to remove 4 teeth in order to make room for all of my other teeth. Monday is the big day when I get the wires on my braces and we start making steps towards the final outcome. I have four gaping holes in my mouth so I would love to see some obvious movement quickly (a few months would be quickly in a situation like this). Vicodin sucked and made me unable to move all day from the nausea. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t get enough on my stomach on a mush diet to make it go away. Today I’m just on a high dosage of ibuprofen and it is working well although I just got a nice reminder from my body not to think everything is normal. All of a sudden I’m tired and have a bit of nausea.
The boys have been little gems of fun lately although I got to witness how much they test Brad on Wednesday. They are very much toddlers and trying to find out who has what rules and who let’s them do what.
It’s heating up here in Texas as the 100 degree heat starts to kick in. We’ll be taking our trips to the park early in the morning and holing up inside with crafts and such in the hot afternoons. Thank goodness they’ve entered the world of the one nap which works well for this kind of weather as well.
Next weekend we leave for five days in L.A. with Brad’s family. Brad only gets one day and two nights with them before jetting off for 10 days in the jungles of Peru. The boys and I get to stay for five days. Then we make it home for one day to adjust and settle in before my parents arrive for a five day visit.
So there is a wrap up. I really do hope to have much more interesting things to write about in a couple weeks when we get back to normal around here again. I’m looking forward to the fun of the next few weeks but equally looking forward to June and getting back into our own groove again.
I Told You
…that he hugs trees.
Logan Calling
“Grandma?! Mom won’t let me stay up late tonight, can you talk to her for me?”
Pockets and Blocks
This morning I watched the boys while Brad drove Dawn to the oral surgeon. I pretty much wear cargo pants exclusively, and have for years. The boys are fascinated by the two big pockets near the knees on my pants and every time I come to see them they have to open them up and check them out. This morning was no different, and the boys each sat on one side of me playing with my pockets while we watched Little Einstein, listened to music, and played with other toys.
Today around lunch I noticed something in my right cargo pocket banging against my knee that I hadn’t noticed before. Apparently Logan had loaded me up with blocks from one of their toys while I wasn’t looking and sent me to work with them! It’s a good thing I’m going to see them again this evening, I bet they’re missing their blocks…
Home from surgery
Dawn asked me to make a brief post letting everyone know that we are home from the oral surgeon and she is doing well. The doctor said the surgery went great and we were out of there in less than an hour. Dawn is now resting with a mouthful of gauze, but she is feeling fine (except for some nauseousness from all the meds). She should be back to her regular daily posting tomorrow.
‘Cus he’s so cute (Yes, I know that I say that every time)
A First
This is the first time that I asked the boys to pose for a picture together. And they actually did it!
Rainy Monday
Friday and Saturday I spent complaining about the discomfort from the braces. By Sunday it felt almost normal and today it’s almost like it’s always been this way. Almost. In two days I’m going to have four teeth extracted to prepare for a week of cute pictures of cute babies. I’m sure we can all use a brack from my pretending to be a writer.
Crayons, the new Tequila
You know that you’ve crossed over into parenthood with no chance of going back when you use your shot glasses to hold crayons.
