We made another trip to Grandma's to visit and get to play with the cousins for a couple of days. It was a good trip. Not too much fussing about the ride and we had great weather to get outdoors while we were there. My sister has 3 boys with two of them being right between ours so it works out perfectly. I get to see my sister and mom and Dan gets to rest. Well, except for this time - he spent most of his time cutting down firewood and moving and stacking it.
Our other excitement was Maicol having appendicitis. He woke up one morning with pain in just the right place. We went to the ER at 9am and by 3pm he was in a room minus his appendix. He ended up staying two days. Quite an adventure for all of us. He is the most healthy of the three. Rarely even gets a sore throat, so this was a new experience for him. He did very well and is now back to doing whatever he wants. And now we know where that tax refund check is going! :)
We are having more and more good days at our house. Not perfect, but then we never expected that. But, there is much more desire to do what Mom asks, do schoolwork without complaining and just in general it seems they are more content. We still have our times of uphappiness, but they are fewer and even when things don't go well it is short-lived. When previously we would have had all-day problems, now they are just a few minutes to an hour problem and then it is over and we can move on. Not sure what it is - maybe enough time has passed that they feel safe? Whatever it is, we hope and pray it continues.
Nothing else very exciting. Here are a few pictures of our trip to Grandma's.
The Three Amigos.
Playing a very important game of badmitton on the sand volleyball court. At least there is something to do while you wait for your turn.

I love being able to be outside, too!! Great pictures!! Hope Maicol is doing ok - that's rough to have surgery!! Sounds like he was a trooper!!
Ugh Poor Miacol! Glad he is doing well as are the rest of you. Love the pics...yea SPRING!
Love those last three pics!
I'm happy for spring too for the same reasons. This has been such a long winter - everyone had cabin fever at our house.
Hope Maicol is doing well after his surgery. We have so far (knock on wood) not had the hospital experience. I know it is only a matter of time until we do.
Love the first picture with the three boys from the back.
What a shock to hear about Maicol! I'm sure it was for you, too. Glad to hear that he handled it very well.
love the pics! especially the first one! definitely one for the frame!
