Instead of surgery...

We went to bed early last night... about 9:30, and the boys were already in bed, in preparation for our 3:30 wake up to get to the hospital in time for the 6:30 check in. Just as I was about to go to sleep, I heard Owen whining and went to check on him. Just as I did, he threw up all over his bed, himself, and kept on going.... poor little guy. So, we weren't really sure what to do... check in at 6:30, kind of late to cancel the surgery. David called the doctor and he suggested we reschedule because we don't know if Owen is sick. So, for the second time, we have cancelled the boys surgery due to illness at the VERY LAST MINUTE... I'm sure they love us. Ugh.

Owen woke up this morning feeling pretty okay. Very runny nose, more then he has had- so for that reason too, I'm glad we rescheduled. Aidan is also very runny- and worse then yesterday too. He is also complaining of a stomach ache on and off.

Among all of the yuckies, we did have some fun today! We listened to music (the first picture is of the boys picking out their music on the kitchen stereo), and went outside- played in the sand box, tried climbing trees, we looked for flowers blooming and rode bikes.

Owen is now going on 2 1/2 hours of a nap, and not stirring, I think he is worn out. Aidan said he is tired, but stated, "It is not dark, it is not night night time!" so he will not nap. I even offered to nap with him (wasn't that generous?) he didn't think that was as good an idea as I did... so he is playing a game, and I am writing on the blog.

I'm going to go keep him company- here are some pictures from today:

Boys to men??

It's been a while since I have posted... boys are still growing like weeds, time is still flying by. We've battled a few illnesses, one that post-poned their surgery to this week Thursday (it was originally scheduled for February). They are getting their boy surgery- didn't get it done when they were born: Aidan because we would have had to go back for it because he was in NICU when he was born, then he had his hip surgery at 3 months- so we just opted not to. Owen, because Aidan didn't have it and it's an "unnecessary" surgery. However, now, it appears necessary because they both have had a little trouble. So, we go Thursday, arrival time 6:30am and it's 1 1/2 hour drive. THAT's an early morning. Especially considering daylight savings SPRING AHEAD was today. But, I like the early morningness of it too because they can't eat/drink etc before hand. It will be Owen's first surgery, so I'm a bit freaked out about that. Aidan's a pro (poor little guy) so a little less worried- still worried though (it's in my nature- thanks mom!)

So, here we are, heading into spring of 2010... doing some re-modling of the house (does it ever end?) and spring cleaning. I love this time of year for that purpose. Purging of the winter blahs mentally and physically! Ahhh.... spring is in the air!!

Here are a few recent pictures of the boys!
