Handsome Boy

Mark had surgery one week ago yesterday. It was a rough 4 days. Recovery has been going pretty well. His activity level is not the same. He plays, but seems to tire more easily, perhaps from some pain. It was expected that he would cough some since garbage got built up inside him from the surgery, however, yesterday his coughing concerned us. So, we took him to the dr this morning. The dr felt he was too congested and wants him on a nebulizer every 4 hours and also started him on antibiotics as a precaution. We go back Monday morn and if he is still congested, we need to get an xray. Hopefully, this is just a small bump in the road.
Thanks for all of your prayers, calls, gifts and cards. It means so very much to us all.

It's a Party!

Celebrating 2





Both kids loved the firetruck. Maria loves "pretties" aka anything sparkly and girly.


We took them to Rainforest Cafe for the first time. Mark loved it. He was very excited to see and hear all of the animals. Maria, on the other hand, was a bit terrified especially when the lightening began and the apes started whoopin' it up. She's never held on to my neck so tight. Oh and she learned the word 'elephant'. 
Here's the convo: Me: Maria, let's go see the elephant. 
Maria while standing in front of the elephant: WAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! 
Maria while sitting a safe 20 feet from the elephants: Mommy, Mommy, look see, elephants. 
Me: Yes, Maria. Do you want to go see them? 
Maria: NO! 
We had fun. :o)

Hey Good Lookin' Whatcha Got Cookin'?

I saw this apron set at Target and just had to have it.
Here's a Valentine pic of my handsome boy. He is going to be a heartbreaker for sure.
Uncle Chris came to visit. They had lots of fun together.
