Surgery

At one month old, Liam has officially had more surgeries that Callie and me combined....we spent all day last Friday at Children's hospital to get Liam's hernia repaired. It was a very long day but we couldn't have been more pleased with the care and treatment we received! Liam was an absolute rock star - we were a bit nervous about the whole no eating thing but he did great (in fact he pretty much slept the entire day away, although he used the pacifier the whole time too) the anesthesiologist even mentioned that he was smiling at her when she took him back. The surgery total took about an hour and a half (they repaired both sides) but we were required to stay for 4 hours after he woke up to make sure there were no side effects from the anesthesia. With those 4 hours and all the prep time, we officially were at the hospital ALL day! He is healing wonderfully - just 2 little scars on each side of his groin - and required very little pain medicine.

The day required a lot of snuggles


All suited up and ready to be taken back

Mothers Day Weekend

We had amazing weather for Mother's Day weekend and tried to enjoy every minute of the summer. On Sunday, Callie and I ran the color run. A 5k through Seattle which involved a lot of dust and color. It was a lot of fun and  I was super proud of her and how she pushed herself. Before the race. Shirts are still white and hair is still normal color. We ran with one of Callie's good friends and her mom.  Bubbles! That was a highlight for Callie, she loved running through the bubbles.  Done! Color and dust everywhere! We spent Saturday with Katy and Dennis and explored Renton and a local beach and park. Callie and Katy The gang! Saturday was so beautiful that we actually went home and the kids ran in the sprinklers and played in the bathing suits all day.

Sun River 2018

For mid winter break, we headed up to Sun River for the week. As always, it did not disappoint! The kids had a blast spending the week with Grandma and Grandpa, all their cousins, skiing, and playing in the snow. This year we started with no snow on the ground and ended with a blizzard that made driving home very tricky. Liam stayed home with Grandma while Callie and I skied. Although it is always hard to be left behind, he loves his Grandma so much and they had an absolute blast together. I'm also realizing that she took all the pictures so I have very few with her...major bummer! We celebrated these 2 boys on this trip.  When there is this many kids, you not only take over the whole run but there it is also very difficult to figure out which way to go.... Grandpa and his gang Pretty soon we won't all fit on one couch. Unfortunately our sister/dad ski day did not go as planned. Sarah took a spill the day before and was not able to ski with us for ...
