As many of you probably know by now Orin had surgery on Tuesday, he had tubes placed in his ears and his adenoids removed. Grace had the same surgery with the same surgeon almost exactly 10 years ago, right after she turned three. Orin was a trooper and the surgery went very well. The doctor said that his adenoids were huge and removing them will make his life a lot better as soon as he is done healing. He is 36 hours out of surgery and you can hardly tell he even had it done. He is playing and we're trying to keep him calm so he can continue to heal. He will be out of school the rest of this week per the doctors orders but I honestly think he could go back tomorrow or Friday, but we'll do what we've been told and try to get him to rest.
Is anyone else starting to get really excited for Christmas?! I have one last gift to pick up for Chad and then we are completely done! I'm so excited about his "big" gift from me, but I know he will read this so I can't spill the beans until after Christmas. We bought a new mattress, two great pillows and a new dining table about two months ago and agreed that they would be our Christmas gifts to each other so we're trying to remember that and take it easy while getting each other new gifts for under the tree. I'm thrilled for our kids to open their gifts too! We joked with Orin about his surgery being his Christmas gift considering how much we just had to fork out for it, but of course he didn't think it was funny. He gave us a crazy look and told us that surgery isn't a present. I guess he is right ;) We've got the inside of our house decorated but still need to do the outside. I'm anxious for it to get done because our Christmas decoration bins are littering my foyer and I would like for them to go away.
Chad plays basketball in a men's league, last Sunday evening he and his team won the championship! I was able to go watch him win, it was a lot of fun! He earned a shirt that declares himself a champion, its pretty funny watching him strut around the house wearing it, he cracks me up!
I've got two more days of snuggling my boy and then a fun weekend coming up!
Until next time, count your blessings :)
