All Boy

Look at my baby, trying so hard to not be my little baby!

Owen wants so badly to be able to experience all that his older brothers are doing, and yesterday was no exception. I opted to just let him go at it, in the dirt, and go he did. Imagine how this made my little boy feel. He lives to be outside, and especially loves being in the dirt. Can you tell?

How about that post-op rule about only giving sponge baths?

All better

Owen had surgery this morning to repair am umbilical hernia. Everything went well. We are thankful that we decided to have the procedure done since the doctor confirmed that without it, the hernia would have never closed entirely on its own. Here are a few pictures from our day.

Waiting in the playroom, for our room to be available.

Getting undressed.

Not a great picture, but you can kinda see the belly button popping out.

All ready to go and enjoying the view (of grey skies and rain) out our window.

In the recovery room, and not real happy or sure of what is happening.

Back in a room, resting and waiting to go home.

Art

Did I ever mention that I made art smocks for the boys? Well, here they are, being put to use recently.

And, this little picture was done by Levin the other day. He only asked how to finish spelling the word "to". This really surprised me since he had never done anything like this before.
