Wednesday
I took Daniel in to check out how his feet are doing. They look great and we had no new instructions for him. While there I took advantage of having access to an orthopedic surgeon who is a bone and joint specialist and I asked him about my foot. He listened to me and asked that I make an appointment with him and bring the xrays that were taken and he will go over them and my MRI. His soonest appointment was May 19th so I took it and have to wait a few weeks and take it easy. My foot has been progressively getting worse and now I am back to not being able to walk on it normally.
This was a busy day as it was also my neighbor, and friend, Jenae's 30th birthday and I was helping her husband pull off a surprise birthday party for her. I gave her a make over before she went off to dinner so she would think that was the secret project her husband had been working on. While they were gone to dinner 40 people descended on their house and we successfully surprised her and had a wonderful party. I had a nice time and was thrilled to be a part of it all. I really enjoyed giving her a makeover, I haven't done one in so long and I just love playing with hair and makeup. I also painted her toe nails and put fun decals on them. She looked great! As if giving her a make over wasn't enough... I was also made her cake. I made a number 3 cake to go along with a round ice cream cake her husband made. I also made cupcakes and spelled out "THE BIG" on them. So it ended up saying "The big 3 - 0". It was really cute and they turned out well.
- This was the only picture we got before they arrived and then people dug in! -
Thursday
I took Daniel in for his 9 month well baby visit. He looks fantastic, healthy and just so darn cute. Here are his stats:
Weight: 21 lbs. 8 oz. - 70%
Height: 29" - 75%
Head circumference: 46 cm (just over 18") - 75%
He has uniformly gone down a full 20% in each category but as you can see is still well above average.
Friday
Oh sheesh.. now I can't remember what I was happened! Umm.. we went to a little hole in the wall restaurant called "George's burgers" they were fantastic! That is going to be our new regular joint for burgers (over Red Robin). The other note worthy thing is that we put the boys in the same room friday night! I'll let you know how it went later.
Saterday
Rain and THUNDER storms! I love thunder and Jacob was very excited about it all. It was pouring so hard, I rarely see rain like that so it was nice. We bummed around all day and kept working on our gift for our mom's for mother's day.
Sunday
This was an odd day. Church was unusually good and the boys were unusually difficult. I was glad when it was over and I could take them back home. For dinner we had some friends join us, I made a pot roast that turned out delicious. This family is from our ward in California that have moved up here to Hillsboro (about 20 min from us). I had such a nice time catching up with Desiree and I'm looking forward to more visits with her (side note for mom and mary, she looks like a mix between Tricia and Emma (dark hair but tall) or like she could be a sibling in the Elliot family).
