Trampoline Fun

Mom and Dad have this massive trampoline that is meant for out at the lake. Well, I had this brilliant idea to allow Aidan to play with it in the backyard. He loved it!

Allan and Aidan went to the park one afternoon after work and here are a few pictures.

Caitlin's Surgery

On March 21st, I went in for a laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis. I have been have terrible lower back pain, stomach pains and sharp shooting pains in my upper thighs for quiet sometime. I have tried lots of different things but surgery was the next step. Surgery didn't do has planned. While in surgery the doctor found my right fallopian tube had attached to my intestine and was twisted and full of scar tissue. When surgery was done, the doctor told Allan that there was good and bad news. The good news is that I do not have endometriosis, the bad news is that I had a partial hysterectomy (my right ovary and falopian tube removed). The doctor said as long as my left sides work, we should be able to have more children. I am concerned since my left side is where I have had several cysts.

So what was thought to be a simple procedure turned out to be a bit more. I was off of work for a week. I returned to work this past Monday. It am still very tired and weak. But I have a great support team at home. Allan and Aidan have been a great help. Dylan has also been real good with playing with Aidan, but he always is. Mom was home this week so that helped out with me returning to work. Thanks to everyone for there help and calls to make me feel better.

Chuck, We will miss you!

Thursday, March 13th, I received a call from my mom notifying me that a dear friend had passed away, Chuck. I referred to him as "Brother". I would chat with him on aim almost every day. He loved Aidan so much. "Anything for that boy", he would say. I will miss him and I know Aidan will too. We miss you and love you Chuck!

Art Projects

A few art projects Aidan has made.

Washing the Truck with Papa

Papa needed help washing his work truck and of course Aidan was ready to help.

Playing With the Camera

Here are some shots of Aidan and I playing with my camera.

Band Practice

Aidan is always asking his Uncle Dylan if they could have band practice. Wait till you see what band practice is. Many think I am nuts for purchasing a drum set for a 4 year old, but I love it!
