Friday Nights

It used to be that I looked forward to Friday night sitting at home watching a movie curled up on the couch or going out to a favorite restaurant. Don't get me wrong these are welcomed Friday night too. But after having kids our Fridays have changed and I think for the better. Going out for yogurt and to the park was the icing on the week for me on Friday.

Plus, a plumber came with us and a troll like doll Lydia bought herself at the D.I. for 50 cents blowing out the window on the way home.

Me and The Juice

I realize this picture is far from perfect but there is one thing about it that is perfect my little juicy buns. I have decided that I need to start writing more things down when I post so I don't forget. I love waking her up from her nap she is always so loveable and her hair is so great don't you think.

Words that Penny knows:

Mama, Dada, Baba, Ooo Oh, Dora, Mum Mum, Granma, Lyda, Hi, Bye, Boo, Yay, she barks like a dog, and she screams alot.

Lydia's Surgery #2

Lydia had her second surgery on Monday. She originally was only supposed to have two surgeries but her leg was not able to expand as well as they had hoped. This picture is the hairy nevus right before surgery there are two expander's in each side of the leg. We did eight expander appointments to get to this point. They removed as much of the hairy nevus as possible. She was a little sick for a few hours after surgery but has been awesome since. She up running around by Wednesday no problem. The picture below was yesterday after her Dr.'s appointment. The hairy nevus is dying that is why it is black this is something we hadn't expected. We will have to wait a month and let the skin die and heal before expanding the skin in order to remove the remaining portion with a 3rd and final surgery. It has been a bit more of a process then we had hoped but overall Lydia has done excellent. This looks way worse then it will when it is all healed up.

She has been so good though it all. She is a tough little cookie.

Just Missed the Blossoms

We just missed the blossoms in the orchard but I couldn't resist taking a few pictures anyway.

It was pretty windy and a little cold so I got them to smile a few times and they were done.

Childrens Museum (Day 3)

We stopped at the children museum on the way home. Penny was exhausted but both girls loved it. Lydia and Taylor got in the storm machine it was pretty awesome.
