Hello tubes, adios adenoids

Lauren’s surgery was a success yesterday. She was a trooper! She was scheduled for ear tubes, second time around and the doctor said they would decide whether or not to remover her adenoids based on whether or not they were enlarged or inflamed. Apparently Lauren’s adenoids were huge so they took those suckers out. Adios adenoids! We are really hoping she will be able to sleep better at night now that they are gone. Lauren has always been a restless sleeper, we had no idea her adenoids could be part of the problem.

Everyone who works at this facility is incredible!

Lauren, waiting patiently for her surgery.

 

Hanging out with Daddy.

Cruising the halls

 

Banging into doors

Picking out toys to play with

 

 

Lauren got to pick out a toy to bring home.

She chose lip gloss. This made me laugh because she’s only two.

      

All ready to go into the O.R.

 

Having a popsicle in recovery.

 

Lauren was scared of the I.V. in her hand.

 

Snuggling with Daddy.

 

Tiptoeing through the tulips. Ready to go home.

 

Woohoo! Lip gloss! Hey Daddy, want some lip gloss? Your lips look a little dull.

Dog Tired

This is how I feel right now.

Fergus fell asleep with his tongue sticking out the other night. Craig and I laughed our heads off. Crazy dog!

Here Comes Peter Cottontail

Hopping down the bunny trail, hippity, hoppity, Easter’s on its way.

We had a glorious Easter Sunday today!

Craig and I managed to get the girls dressed and out the door for the 8:00am service. Yes, you read that correctly, we were shocked as well as we can barely get out the door for the 9:30 service as it is, 8:00am was definitely a stretch. It was wonderful, not too crowded, a lovely service, and we were back in the car on our way back home by 9:15.

 

Once we arrived back at the house, the girls received their Easter baskets, apparently, the Easter Bunny decided to give them their baskets after church so as to avoid a meltdown before 8:00am. Worked like a charm until they grabbed the jelly bean-filled Easter eggs and sent jelly beans cascading all over the kitchen floor. Fergus was delighted, Craig, not so much.

Check out the loot!

Lauren cannot contain her excitement!

What shall I eat first?

Wow! Jewelry! Thanks Auntie Janice!!!

Whoops, all the jelly beans are on the floor. Lucky Fergus!

We waited for mom and dad to return from church and we all headed out together for Easter Brunch at this lovely, old southern house.

  

This is how we “Roll”

But since the six of us couldn’t all fit into one Rolls Royce, we decided to take two more.

Just kidding, we actually bounced up to the joint in our kickin’ Odyssey instead, way cooler that the Rolls.

We were seated in the enclosed outdoor patio. Such a gorgeous day, it was refreshing to be outside.

Thank God for crayons.

Waiting to order.                

  

Coloring with Daddy.

Hmm, what shall we have?

 

This water is delicious!

 

 

A straw provides an endless supply of entertainment for Lauren.

Brunch was delicious, dessert was positively mouth-watering!

The girls had vanilla ice cream, we also ordered a warm brownie torte and bread pudding.

 

 

 

Lauren adored the ice cream. Delicious and exhausting. A two for one dessert special.

 

Mmmmmmmmm, bread pudding.

 

Going, going…

gone!

 

What is taking them so long?!

Peek-a-boo
