Almost time for Easter!

Well it is almost time for Easter! We have been talking about the Easter bunny (Grayson is really into him this year) and then why we celebrate Easter as Christians (he does not get that part as well, but we are working on it) I had been looking for an Easter book, but could only find the ones about the Easter Bunny, but I found one talking about going to church on Easter and why for under $5 at Lifeway and Grayson is liking it. We are also enjoying the warmer weather (well last week) and taking advantage of going to the park and playing more outside. While it is still hard with one walker and one crawler we are making the most of it. We met with the specialist today and Lizzie is scheduled for surgery on Friday the 17th to have tubes put in her ears and she will also have her tongue clipped. We have thought from the beginning she needed her tongue clipped, but our dr does not like to put her under just for that, so this will work out well. Poor thing is saying huh a lot because she can't hear and every time she tries to say a word we can tell her tongue is not working for her. The fluid in her ears is also creating balancing issues which make walking more difficult. So hopefully this will fix both, but mostly hopefully it will help us ALL get some sleep. Lizzie has inherited both of her problems from her mother, seeing as I have had my tongue clipped and tubes as well!

Olivia is doing well, we are done with our daily breathing treatments hopefully forever, but maybe at least until winter. She is not walking or really trying for that matter. I really think she could, she just sees all the times her sister falls and gets hurt and all the places on her face and says no thanks.

Grayson, is growing up so fast, he is no longer a "baby". He does not take naps regularly anymore (creates problems since mommy is not getting sleep at night) And is really enjoying being able to actually play with his sisters and have them interact.

Here are some pictures of our "naked" Easter bunnies






Do you see the skid marks on that face???

A few rare moments of togetherness and happy.
Such a big boy

Who needs to be out there walking and falling, I am completely content here just watching

Oh Jill! I hope that the tubes help her out sooo much. I had tubes 3 times when I was little. I pray that she will do well with the surgery and that her recovery will be speedy. We'll be praying for your whole family!
