Zoo-rrific

Saturday we headed out for a six hour adventure at the zoo. We went with Matt, Jeanne, and Aiden. The kids were so good. Squirt thought the elephants were a "messsssssssss". He gets the clean gene from B. He loved, loved, loved the train. We thought we would give Squirt a weekend of fun since next weekend he will more than likely not be such a happy camper. We bought a membership and will let everyone know the next time we head out there to have a picnic.


Show me your teeth. As close to a smile on camera as I could get.

I'm not listening!

Strongman. He could take that bear, no problem.




B looks thrilled to be sitting in the peacock.

Not too sure about petting the animals

I won't completely bore you with all my animal pictures but I thought I would share this neat one of a fish tank.

Spendy McSpendersin

Our goal was to save money for the *possible* and *potential* thought of a #2.
That thought isn't even on the back burner. It got put in the freezer. I want the kitchen floor replaced. Last June we looked in to getting tile put down and our quote was a lovely 4000.00 without materials. We took a cruise instead :)
So now my floor still looks very dirty when I have spent all day scrubbing the stupid thing. It's time for it to go. We have found a cheaper route just not sure how much cheaper.
Whose idea was it to buy the beat- up, tipsy old home anyway? Oh yes, it was mine........

Slacking off again.........

It is safe to say that in almost every area of my life there are tons of loose ends. I'm trying my best to think about getting started :)

Heaven Sent

It was a beautiful day. A joyous day. A day we are so thankful for. Thank you, Angie, for allowing us to see one of God's greatest miracles. You made it look sooooooo easy and relaxed. :)
Little Carter, you are soooo loved. So very loved, indeed. Can't wait to kiss and squeeze you again.

Random

Working on some scrapping stuff, sort of. Hopefully, I will get to take loads of pics tomorrow of my other loves and the following day. Big, joyful blessed days coming.......

One day I'll be quick enough to catch a smile. I'm happy to say I'm usually right in the middle of them not just trying to capture them.

Ok, seriously, she just can't get any cuter! Loving this Tart action.

2 More

We had our follow-up urology visit with Dr. Furness and found that Squirt will need two more surgeries. We scheduled the next surgery for June 6th and it will run about 3.5 hours. Dr. Furness was frank and straight forward with us today. As Byron put it, Dr. Koyle lived on the sunny side of the fence; Dr. Furness on the other :) It's not that he didn't have good things to say, he was just definitely more frank. He said that during the surgery he wasn't going to speak much because Squirt is a complicated puzzle and he needed to have his wheels spinning at every turn. Byron found this statement scary but I think it made me trust Dr. Furness even more. He is the missing ingredient to an almost perfect recipe.
We also have to start giving Squirt testosterone cream 2 weeks before the surgery to give him a little "extra" to work with. He also said that with getting his parts revved up, he will also heal faster.
"God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for they way"
