Summertime events & drama

Our welcome-to-summer party
was a blast.
I love how setting out some water balloons,
otterpops,
& the sprinkler
brings kids out of the woodworks.

Bugg, in his usual caszh way,
looks on from the porch,
content to stay dry & un-u.v.'d.

and on to the drama!..........

Friday afternoon found the Hunk
in some serious tummy pain.

I was supposed to go to a play
on a mama-daughter date with Mia.
Instead, it was a date with Brian in the ER room.

At least I was dressed for the occasion!
I am so thankful for rockin' neighbors
who took our babies at a second's notice.

Our date included:

a frolick to get a cat scan,
sight-seeing in the jungle (pediatric ER room),
dining on icy water (just me),
chatting with charming nurses & doc people,
a visit from Bri's parents,
and lots of photo shoots.
Hey! When under stressful situations,
always take pictures, right?!
Stress alleviation....somehow.

Diagnosis:

Appendicitis!
The poor husband had surgery
at midnight.
His parents so sweetly stayed
and I went home to tuck babies in and sleep.
My mom came in the morning and
Meeskii & I did get that date!
We went to visit Daddy in the hospital!!
Yes!

Sorry, no calls, please :)

I'm his wife,
I still get giddy over that!
We are home now.
It's a quiet Sunday with the kids gone
to G&G's.
The Hunk is in good spirits and very sore.

We got a platter-full of cookies out of the deal!!!
(Thanks, ma)
Just kiddin',
we've had lots of blessings over this weekend.
Our hearts are grateful.
