Madilyn was freezing cold from running through the sprinkler.
I told her to lay in the sun and it would warm her up!
Little Brother has to do everything just like her-except the swimsuit thing!!

All Boy!!
I just thought this was too cute.
He stood and stared out this window for almost 10 minutes straight.
At what you might ask?
Come on! You could have guessed THAT one!

Surgery!
Well...I had my surgery on Monday. Things went as good as can be expected. It took longer than expected, but he got it all out. I had a bone graft done in my wrist so the could patch the area with bone marrow. Recovery stinks...and typing is going extremely slow, so this is a very brief over view. I feel guilty I can't do anything, and when I start to feel too lazy and restless I get up and try to do things. It doesn't take long for me to remember why I'm being such a couch potato! Just 10 minutes of "work" wears me out! But the pain is getting better...for the most part. Some day when i can type again I'll give you the full story..if I can remember it..anesthesia is a good thing!

And the diagnosis is....
CARTILAGE
As you can see...the bone is becoming FAT or (in BF language)..getting some chubbers on it!!
It's filled with cartilage and is stretching out the bone, making it weak and more prone to breaking.
SO, LUCKY ME!
I get surgery Monday to remove the tumor (yes that is the real name for it, but it makes it sound a lot scarier, so I don't like to say it) and replace it with bone marrow from my wrist.

Can you guess what it is??
Just a spoof off of something I've seen friends do in this past.
Here's a picture and YOU have to guess what it is...usually its something to do with a mess kids have made, but this time you get to play doctor!
What is wrong with my poor little pinky!
I'll post the answer in a couple days!
and no guessing if I've aleady told you about it! :)

Just a little ranting
...sometimes you just have to get things out by doing a little rambling...
Do you ever have one of those days when you just feel guilty because you aren't doing enough? The last couple weeks have really been weighing me down. I can't believe my little Landon is going to be a year and a half next month! Where has time gone? I mean really? and what have I DONE with that time. I feel like I've wasted it doing nothing! I've had a really hard time dealing with the demands of 2 kids, and heck, its ONLY TWO kids! I feel like I'm not spending enough one on one time with Landon playing with him and interacting with him and just teaching him the simple things. I look back at to when Madilyn was 18 months. She seemed so much more grown up in every way. I know all kids are different. But I feel like I'm not giving Landon the same opportunities that Madilyn had. Sometimes, I'll sit back at look at Landon and I'm just amazed at how grown up he really is getting! I remember being frustrated that Madilyn was always on the go and couldn't keep her attention focused on one thing for very long...which I know is expected. But Landon. HOLY COW! I seriously cannot keep him under control! Making mess after mess...and no, NOT with his toys! He know exactly what he is not allowed to play with and I spend my days chasing him out of mess out of mess. Leaving me with the messes to clean up, frustrated because I can't handle my own 1 year old, exhausted from doing absolutely NOTHING, constantly getting after him, and discouraged because I'm so worn out I don't have the energy to accomplish anything else, let alone interact with him! I look at other moms and wonder HOW they can do it with 3, 4, even 5 kids or TWINS! I expected to have my kids all about 2 years about...but NO, this enlarging figure is not due to another addition! I can't handle the two I have! I want to enjoy my time as a stay at home wife and mother. I'm not ready to add another one to this chaos! I always feel guilty when Ron wants to take Landon to work with him, even though he offers and Landon loves it, but I'm so relieved I'm getting a little break! I always think, that if I can just get myself organized and on a schedule my days would run smoother. If I could just pick up after myself I wouldn't have the stress a messy house brings to me. I'm really REALLY good at making plans and schedules, but I NEVER follow through with them bringing even more discouragement because I lack self-discipline! In my mind I have the perfect scenario of how the should run. A clean house, playing with my kids, dinner on the table, surprising my husband with treats. It shouldn't be that difficult! I get overwhelmed just getting through the everyday tasks that I can't enjoy them!
