What have we been up to?

Logan is almost 1 week past surgery and still pretty puny without Tylenol. It's been hard for him to be homebound so long. We have taken him out for short errands, but he still gets tired easily. Yesterday he and Jennifer had an orthodontist appt. and the poor kid can't seem to catch a break this summer. Looks like probably in July he will be getting braces. Doing it now would mean wearing them for the least amount of time. I don't even want to get into the cost. We may as well be buying a new car.
Jennifer will have to get some teeth extracted soon also. At least she is a few years away from braces.
Scott, the girls and I snuck away to Gatlinburg for the long weekend. Logan enjoyed having his grandma here to spoil him!
The pictures are from this past week at home and at the aquarium in Gatlinburg.

Logan's Update and on another subject prayers needed...

Logan was a trooper this morning and sailed through his surgery for tonsils and adenoids. His dr sent us a pic of his tonsils and needless to say I now know we made the right decision to have them removed. No wonder he has felt like he has. Tonight he has been eating soft foods with little difficulty. We're all a bit tired since we were up at 5 am and left the hospital around 2 pm.

On a sad note I heard tragic news today from one of the nurses about one of my favorite singers, Steven Curtis Chapman and his family. He and his wife have 3 bio children and 3 beautiful little girls from China. Yesterday evening their youngest adopted daughter, Maria, was not seen on the driveway as her oldest brother was pulling up (or backing up) and she was hit and later died en route to the hospital in Nashville. My heart breaks for this family as they endure such a double tragedy. Just 10 days ago she was blowing out 5 candles on her birthday cake.
We just saw Steven Curtis in concert a couple of months ago and he shared many stories of his little girls. His family is his life. His sons were there too playing and singing in his band. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. His website www.stevencurtischapman.com also has info.

Just another week "Livin la vida loca"!

Well tomorrow is the last day of school, hallelujah for now, until they drive me so crazy I can send them to Gatlinburg for a bit!
Logan is scheduled to have his tonsils and adenoids removed Thurs. morning. Yesterday we went for the pre-op stuff. He's pretty nervous since it's his first surgery but looking forward to lots of frozen treats afterwards. Of course will post how he did.
Jenn finishes Kindergarten tomorrow:( I'm not ready to let that go. From here on out out it's more homework and headaches! Well, hopefully not, She loves school where Logan did not as much. I really loved her teacher this year, too.
Meigan finishes Pre-K 3 tomorrow as well. Next year she will spend part of her day with her current teacher and part with the regular pre-k 4 class next door. She still needs a small teacher student ratio class. Her teacher this year is awesome:)
I am doing something I didn't think I would do yet, but I am studying for the Tn. teachers exam so I will have my teaching license just in case. I do love subbing, but if the right opportunity arose I could take it.

You've come a long way, baby...

This picture was taken the first day we got Meigan, a little over a year and a half ago.
This was my Mother's day present from Meigan. Her teacher took a picture of each child and framed it. I am amazed at how much she has changed.
