Daddy and His Girl

Oh how I love them

A O.K.

Zach is home and feeling pretty good. There is something kinda sweet about spending the day at the hospital with my kid. It reminds me of how sweet he is. How young and innocent. How lucky I am to have him in my life.

He ate four popsicle before we came home. Can you tell they were orange by the color of his lips??

This time he let me wheel him out to the car. First time I have ever pushed a wheel chair.

Tubes

Zach is getting his 3rd set of tubes in on Thursday morning. This time we are having his adenoids removed. We went to Target to get his new Lego set . . . one needs something to look forward to after surgery. Prayers and good thoughts would be great.

First Hair Cut

Before

After

Not a big difference, I know. Just trying to even up the post head shave.

Nose

You all have probably noticed that Naomi has a smooshed nose (a cleft thing). Well today I bought her a pair of sunglasses and as you can see there is very little nose to hold them up. I am learning all sorts of new things with this cute little thing.

One more cleft nose thing. Naomi has a small hole directly behind her front teeth which goes straight up to her nose. Food comes out her nose on a daily basis. When it gets stuck she has this little cough/nose blow thing that she does which clears it right out. Now she asks for a tissue (by pointing and yelling, no words yet) does her cough/blow thing and runs to the garbage can to dispose of the dirty tissue. She is becoming so efficient, and remains just so dang cute.

Weekend

We enjoyed a nice Sunday afternoon boating. Our friends so kindly took us out for the season opener. We needed it after a yucky week.

My little Thanie washed my car for me.

This little baby is makin more teeth and boy does it hurt.

Jedi training . . . that is what I heard anyway

I was right

I love it when I am right . . . but not this time.

I was laid off today. It is pretty weird. When you have been with a company for over 10 years, I have spent almost 1/3 of my life working there. I new it was coming and I still cried, dang it!!!

I have had the privilege of working with a good group of people, this place has been good to me. I will miss it.

I have freaked out, we are not in the best of financial situations, some debt, and my husband took a pretty significant pay cut a year ago so he could spend more time with the family. Have I mentioned that I married a good man.

Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be a stay at home mom, not sure if this is an option now. but with 2 months severance we can try it out. I have also wanted to be a nurse so maybe school. Tons of crazy thoughts running through my head. Something WILL work, so now I need some clarity and direction. And a DEEP BREATH.

Thanks for listening
