A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

Justin Tonsil Surgery

Justin you had your tonsil's and adnoids removed on Thursday, March 15th. You were a CHAMP! The night before surgery you started complaining about your throat hurting and when I checked it, it looked like strep again. I was concerned they wouldn't do surgery, but they did.
Mommy stayed home to take care of your little brothers and sister and daddy took you. It was really hard on mommy to not be there with you! But, I wanted to make sure you got the attention you needed and it would be hard if the babies started crying.
You got to chose your scents for the mask - strawberry and watermelon. After you were asleep they put in your IV. When you woke up you were in and out of it. You would sit up real fast, look at daddy and then lay down and go back to sleep. You did that quite a few times but the nurse said that was normal. The doctor said you had the grossest biggest tonsils of the day!
You stayed after surgery for 1.5 hours and then headed home. They used a water laser to remove your tonsils and said your pain would really kick in on day 3. You were really hard to keep still when you first came home and wanted to eat real food. But we keep pushing cold juice, otters and soup. You slept in with dad and I your first night home. You and Grandma have been working on arts and crafts today and that is kind of keeping you quiet.
