Happy Easter

As is typical for us in Colorado, this is what we woke to today! Guess I wasn't going to the outdoor sunrise service that I had planned on huh? Had a pretty nice Easter anyway and hope the same for you all.

Surgery and my recovery after has been harder and more complicated than I expected. I'm hoping to see some improvement in the next few days. Unfortunately I wish that I hadn't done it but maybe that will change if I start to feel better and more like myself.

Big deal

Tomorrow we pick up my mom from the airport! It's been over 12 years since she's come to visit and I'm so excited. I only wish that I wasn't having surgery on Thursday so that I could truly enjoy her while she's here. Oh, I haven't mentioned the surgery huh? I've been trying not to think of it because I'm really nervous.

I mentioned a while back that I was going to have my bladder repair done. Come to find out I need a hysterectomy along with the repair. I was floored when I heard that but it's a decision that my body has made for me.

I'm so happy that I had the opportunity to have Pax though and now I get to introduce him to my mom! I'll update next week probably. I would love everyone's prayers!

Our 3 sons!

Doesn't this look as if he's thinking, "hum?"

Pax has had a pretty good week. He is a very "mouthy" little boy. He has to lick and taste everything that comes close to his mouth. Skin is his favorite though (wonder why) and he loves his fists, your shoulder, and watch out or he'll get your nose! He doesn't like his own saliva though and spits it out! Really, he spits! You can watch him do it and you can hear it.

Sunday was a beautiful day in Denver. In the Springs we woke to a very dense fog and about 2 inches of snow but Denver was warm and sunny. Aidan enjoyed it on the sideline of Tristan's State Cup game.

Tristan and Miss Opal. Tristan's soccer team is ranked #1 in Colorado right now and they are playing in the State Cup soccer tournament. They won their 1st two games and next weekend we play the third game before moving to the quarterfinals.

Our 2 week Spring Break is ending today and although I've enjoyed spending it with them I'm also a little ready for them to go back to school. Pax and I would like our peaceful house back so that we can resume the routine we had begun.

Soccer!

Same game, second goal and he was the only one who scored on his team. The final was 2-0!

You can hear me saying, "Come on, look at Tree. Come on Tristan!" Followed by my scream!!!! Still love Troy's laugh.

A little soccer for you!

Here's the play: Our goalie (Ross) throws the ball out to Jaylen who kicks it across and Eric gets a little touch on it and then Tristan has it. He shoots, he scores!!!

Don't you love our friend Troy's laugh at the end? You will also hear our friend Dee say, "T's on fire!"

2 month check-up

How much do you think he weighs ? That was big question around here for days. Well, we were all wrong!!!! He's 12 lbs 6 ounces. Aidan had the closest guess of 12.4 but everyone else thought at least 13 lbs.

He's doing great, had nothing but smiles and giggles for the doctor today until the nurse came in with the shots. He cried of course but once I could pick him up he was okay. He's snoozing it off right now. Whew!

Forgetfullness

I'm really not very good at this "mom of an infant" thing. I forget the diaper bag (among other things) constantly! We've gone out to dinner without the bag, I've gone to a friend's house without it. I thought I had the issue solved when I put it in the car and decided it would stay in there permanently. Then on Saturday when we were getting ready to go to Broomfield for a soccer game I got it out in order to make sure we had all that we needed for the long trip. Guess what? We went to Broomfield ( 1 1/2 hr drive) and I didn't remember to put the darn bag back in the car! This resulted in Josh having to leave the park and find a store to get diapers and wipes! Pax is almost 2 months old and I've got to get this under control, ugh!

Oh, and I'm finding gray hairs now! Wow!
