Walking Boy!
In the little bit of time that I was away from home during my surgery, my son decided he was going to start walking everywhere! He is walking quite far already, though he does still revert to crawling at times. When he walks he is so proud of himself though! So adorable!!

Update
It has been a crazy month in our household! Yesterday our nieces (Gabby, Miranda, and Samantha) left at about 6:30 p.m. I wasn't real sure what to do with the quiet!! I just decided to relax and have some me time. Sydney and Christopher were devastated that their cousins had to leave, but fortunately they will see them soon!
Sydney is 3 1/2 and really loving the time to play outside. She especially loves to play with her best friend Andrew (who is also our neighbor). She seems to be really into sports, as she requested a black and white soccer ball instead of the pink one that we have. Now she says she will be able to play soccer. She also loves to play basketball, and baseball. She is very excited because this coming Sunday she will be going to her first MN Twins game with Daddy, Uncle Reed and Nick. She is also a little bit of a girly girl, and loves to play dress up and use her imagination. She has a great one at that!!
Christopher is nearly 14 months old. He is not walking on his own yet, but I have a feeling that he will be any day now. He cruises around furniture quite fast. He's a hard one to keep up with. He is also quite the daredevil. Brad took him to Chutes and Ladders while the girls were here and Christopher decided to go down some of the slides on his tummy. I think we are going to have to break him of that habit so he doesn't lose a tooth or something!! He also enjoyed his first "ride" the other night at Chuck E. Cheeses and absolutely LOVED it (see photo!) He is becoming more and more affectionate everyday. He gives hugs to the people that he loves/likes a lot and goes to them wanting to be picked up. He gives the GREATEST hugs.
The countdown is on for my thyroid surgery. I had my pre-op on Monday, and haven't heard back on all my tests yet, but my doctor thought that all would be well from what she had seen already. As long as all my tests are normal my surgery will go on as scheduled (as far as I know now) on Tuesday June 24 at 8:00 a.m. at Methodist Hospital. I am having a total thyroidectomy and the surgeon told me the operation would be approximately 3 hours long. Brad and my mom will be at the hospital with me, so between the two of them, I am sure that they will send out updates. There is a likelihood that I may not be able to talk for a while, so if you call, please understand that I may not be able to talk. Please pray for me and my family. We will take all the prayers we can get. This may be my last post until I am feeling better.

Happy Father's Day
Happy Father's Day to all of the dads, grandpas and uncles today. We hope that you have a wonderful day and that you get some time to relax and enjoy yourself!!
Week Two with Emme Girls
We have had an eventful second week with the girls....last Saturday we went to the Mall of America where we spent the afternoon going on rides and topped the evening off with dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. During the week the kids went grocery shopping with Brad (yes, all five) and to Chutes and Ladders again. Yesterday we went swimming at the Bloomington Aquatic Center and last night we went to the Drive In Movie in Cottage Grove. We saw Kung Fu Panda, it was quite an adventure. Today Brad is making up our very own water park in the backyard. It should be lots of fun!! I will try to post some photos from our week soon!

Week One with Emme Girls....
We have had a very busy first week with our nieces Gabby, Miranda, and Samantha! We went swimming at my friend Brittany's apartment complex, they got to go to Chutes and Ladders in the Highland Park Reserve, we've played outside (as much as they would, they all seem to have a slight fear of bugs), done crafts and last Saturday afternoon we went to the Mall of America. It has been busy around here. There sure is a lot of laundry and dishes involved with having 7 people in the house, I am starting to get a feeling for how my Grandma used to feel at times!!
