Just Boring

Things have been pretty boring around here since Elijah's surgery, and thus the reason I have not updated lately. Elijah is doing great! He bounced right back after that first week. He begged and begged for popcorn, but we made him wait until 2 weeks post-op. :) He has done fine until today. Nothing major, but he had a little nose bleed. Just very light pink runny nose. Tonight at dinner, he was eating chips and screamed in pain. Apparently, he cut his throat. Poor thing! We looked at his throat with a flashlight, but seemed to be okay. His follow-up with Dr. McDuffie is next Tuesday so we're believing for good news then. We have noticed a significant change in his breathing - no mouth breathing and NO MORE SNORING!!! Wahoo!

Besides that, nothing new has been happening. All of our friends have started MDO (and we are not) so we're a bit bored around here. MOPS will start next week so at least our Mondays will be busy. I may be babysitting for a couple of MOPS groups so that will give us a few days with things to do throughout the month. The boys' birthdays are also coming up in October (Nathan) and December (Elijah). We are planning a Capt. Hook/Pirate party for Nate and an Elmo/Sesame Street party for Elijah. With fall comes the pumpkin patch and the Texas State Fair too. We'll do both of those in October. Then, there's Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's...all the fun stuff!!! Now, if we here in Texas could get out of the 90's, I'd be soooo much happier! I love fall and get so anxious about this point when I know that it "should" be happening but isn't!!! We only have a couple of weeks of fall here.

OK - off to upload some very late photos.
