April....yikes. That's just embarrassing. There are a few blogs that I have written and tried to copy and paste and haven't been able to. I don't want to have to just type it all out again, but just might so that I can catch everyone up!! In the meantime, I will update you on recent shenanigans!!
We went to Ohio from June 30-July 14. It was a miserable flight out and back and let's just say I will NEVER fly AirTran again in my life unless they give us free passes. It's awful. Anyhoo, we had an amazing time, but of course our time flew by way to quickly!!! I don't honestly remember the last time that Melanie (my cousins) and I were able to celebrate our birthdays together (she's July 4th for those who don't know and mine is July 11th) so it was very cool to actually do that this year!! My mom was so sweet to throw me a wonderfully yummy dinner on my birthday and we invited everyone who was local and who was able to make it. It was so fun because that was our last night being able to see our family before we headed home on Tuesday. Also, John came out the day before and he was able to see everyone!
We got home and spent the day unpacking and recouping and then John was back to the grind on Thursday. I was very thankful he was able to join us in Ohio for 2 days and then able to stay home the day we flew in. Considering we had a ton of delays and "weather" issues with AirTran we didn't get to our apartment until 4am. It SUCKED!!!! Anyhow, we had 3 days that week and he had a 2 day work week which was nice.
A week after we got home, Aidan had surgery. He had his adenoids and tonsils removed and was a trooper!! I will post pics and a full blog about that soon.
We participated in the Swedish SummeRun on July 25th (day after our anniversary!!). The SummeRun was to benefit Ovarian Cancer which my Aunt is fighting and doing a very impressive job at if I say so myself. We had issues getting there, such as Aidan had a hard night and woke up in A LOT of pain from his incisions and by the time we finally got him to sleep we had only 4 hours sleep before we had to get up. Not to mention we were exhausted because we had been dosing him with pain meds around the clock. We woke up at the time we were suppose to drop off the kids and dropped them off about 20 minutes late....ooops. As we were getting on 520 my sister calls and says shes stranded on the side of the freeway and her car is dead. We saved her and took her and the girls down to Seattle (actually her friend drove her and followed us). We got there at the time the 10K was finishing. We walked about 1/3 to 1/2 of the race with friends and family. After we went to my moms for yummy food and family!!
That brought us to this past week, Aidan had T-ball camp at 12 days post-op. I was so nervous and wanted him to do well but not to be in pain. He did GREAT!! I'll also post about this soon. It's been a busy week/summer for us. I wanted to just say hi and let y'all know I am still alive.
As I have been typing this John just booked us our first camping spot!! He and I have NEVER camped together. Surprising after 11 years together!! Obviously it will be the kiddos first trip ever too. So in about 2 weeks we will be experiencing 2 nights of camping!! Wish us luck!! Stay tuned for more updates and I promise I will be better at posting!!
