Problems solved????

In the past month, Tyson has had double ear infections twice.  So, we decided to have new tubes put in his ears, and the doctor also thought it would be a good idea to take his adenoids out thinking that they may be at the root of his endless ear problems.  

So, this morning, we dropped Tyler and Kayden off at daycare and headed to the surgical center.  After a quick 15 minute procedure, he was done and in recovery.  When they called us back to see him, he was cuddling with a nurse.  As soon as she handed him to me, he woke up and cried, attempted to rip his IV out, kicked and screamed and yelled for his daddy, so I handed him over :)  He ended up sleeping on Mike's chest for a good hour before he finally really woke up and drank his juice.  By 11:00, we were sent home.  Mike headed to work, while Tyson and I had to make a quick Target stop for an anti-biotic and some ear drops.  We've now been home for a few hours and he has been running around like a little animal.  I think he really enjoys being able to play with all of the toys without his big brothers stealing things from him.  We had planned on keeping him home from daycare tomorrow, but if he continues to do this well, I think he'll be able to go back to daycare and Mike and I can go back to work.  Let's hope this is finally the end of all of these ear issues for my little guy!

Update

Because I made that resolution to make sure I blog at least once a week, I better write a little something.  We had one of usual weeks this past week.  A few nights at home, a few outings, etc.  We went to Amazih's basketball game Friday night.  This time some good friends brought their daughters too, so the kids were kept busy which meant I actually saw some of the game!  Saturday morning Mike went fishing and the boys and I made a quick trip to Sam's Club and Walmart.  They are getting better at these outings.  Maybe because they are getting a little older, maybe because I have been taking them by myself more often, so they are just getting used to it.  Saturday afternoon, we dropped the boys off at my parents' house and headed to a wedding without kids!  Some of our good friends from my high school class got married.  It was a good, relaxing time.  It was definitely nice to spend some time with old friends since we don't get together nearly as often as we should. 
Today, we're just having a lazy Sunday.  Mike fished this morning, and the kids and I hung out at my parents' house.  Now all are sleeping and we'll hang out until after supper and head home to start another week. 

Happy 2012

Our New Year's weekend was pretty relaxed.  We headed to Brainerd Friday night after work to spend the weekend at Pat and Leah's.  We got there at about 8:00.  The kids played for a little while before jammies and bedtime.  Saturday we hung out all day while Mike and his Dad and brother went fishing.  I struggled to stay awake until midnight, and went to bed at about 12:01.  Sunday, the kids played some more and we headed home at bedtime.  Mike and I both had today off so we have been hanging at home getting a few random things done including naps :)

Umm...yeah.

Ok, so the whole take lots of pictures, write lots of blog posts thing didn't work out so well.  As much as I love my new camera, I found out my computer's operating system is too old to use the software.  So, forget the pictures.  I will add them when I can.  

One of my MANY resolutions for 2012 is to blog at least once a week.  So, here we go...
