Long time, no post...



Yes, it has been nearly two months but I have lots of excuses that I'm sure everyone is jumping up and down, impatiently waiting to find out just what the hold up is. The first thing that started the downhill spiral of no-blogging-ness was the tornados. Yes...THE tornados. That, coupled with my mother flying out the day OF the tornados to be here for Ryan's long awaited surgery. We spent 5 days with no electricity and Ryan's surgery was postponed...three times. I didnt go to work for 4 days. The two little ones had no idea what was going on but it all ended up okay. The only damage we sustained was the Rec room has a pump that is electric. So water was not being pumped out; therefore the rec room flooded. Not a big deal. It was fun to have my mom out for a week though!
Work has been crazy...crazy busy. I was running a lot in the afternoon but it got too hot. I started running at 4am which was working out great for a bit.
Ryan dislocated his shoulder playing racquetball. That was fun. He couldn't lift so I had to take a day or two off to take care of the kids.
Ryan had his surgery for his gallbladder this week. So I have taken the rest of the week off while he barely leaves the bedroom.
The little ones are doing great. Charley, Izyk, and Mama got sick for a week. Somehow Ryan avoided the bug. In the process of getting checked for this bug, the doctor heard a murmur in Charley's chest. We proceeded to get xrays and stuff for that.



Boys are stinking expensive...even when they are grown. My goodness.

Izyk is taking his lovely time crawling...which he had just started doing a couple of weeks ago, at the same time he started pulling up. He army crawls everywhere and is fast. We are teaching him how to crawl up and down stairs. He stopped gaining weight at 9 months. He's still about 22lbs but he's getting longer.

Charley loves "Iwa"...greets him in the morning sometimes with kisses. They play well together. Charley loves, loves, loves to read.
