Oops!

Guess I forgot to post! Lets just say that things have been busy! Joel had his eye muscle surgery on April 3rd. WHAT a difference. We didn't realize how bad his eyes were until we saw them lined up right! He came through the surgery with no issues. He was back to his typical self a few hours later but was a bit more irritable. The reddness went away about a week later. His post-op appointment went well and he doesn't go back until June 2nd. I hope everything continues to go well!
This is Joel the night before surgery.

The morning of surgery.


Playing at home about 2 1/2 hrs after surgery.


A few days later. He looks so much better!


Sarah is doing well. She is getting ready for her 4th birthday! Crazy! Where does the time go!? She is really looking forward to a huge party and I don't see that happening! I think something more low key with a few friends is more likely. Kinda hard though as it has been HOT lately so I am not sure if we should plan an outdoor party. Who knows. I think she will have a good time no matter what kind of party we have.

Tracy has been working extended hours again for the last three weeks. Hopefully he will only have a week left of this schedule. It is pretty hard on Sarah. She really misses daddy. Joel just becomes even more of a mama's boy. I know it must be hard on Tracy as Joel has had a bunch of firsts recently. He started crawling 2 weeks ago. He had been able to get around on his belly, but mostly backwards. Well, he got up on all fours and just started crawling away! He is able to pull up and cruises along the walls. It is too cute! Tracy misses a lot when he is gone.


Last week my washing machine died. Ug! NOT GOOD when you cloth diaper! We ended up getting a new one as it would have cost $600 to repair! We bought a new front load HE washer from LG. It is AWESOME! Works great and uses so little water! Very cool. Makes me actually look forward to doing laundry!

A few weeks ago, Sarah, Joel and I went to see the Budweiser Clydesdale horses. Wow those horses are BIG! It was a hot day but we had a good time. Here are some pictures from our visit. Off to bed!
