Family Update

Greetings from a very hot and humid Minnesota!

Fortunately our air conditioning is in perfect working order for the hot weather that has come upon us. So I am happy to report that we are staying cool.

I met with my thyroid surgeon on the 7th for my post-op. She was happy to report to me that my incision was healing well and that my calcium levels are getting closer to normal, so that is all good. I will return to the endocrinologist on Monday August 4, and she will go over the thyroid hormone levels, etc. So I will let you know what I find out there.

Brad is trying to stay cool at work, and has been working a lot of extra shifts this past week. My mom was down to help care for the kids while he had some training classes for work last week, so that was nice.

We got all sorts of information about Sydney's preschool in the mail last week, so needless to say she is VERY excited about that. We took her out this past weekend and got her a backpack. She picked out an Ariel (The Little Mermaid) one. She will be going to preschool two mornings a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-12. It will be so good for her to make some new friends and prepare herself for the school setting. Her latest accomplishment is drawing people. She made a picture of herself and my friend Brittany for Brittany's birthday and she added all the details as well. If I can figure it out, I will try to add one of her drawings on here.

Christopher has gained two more teeth, is walking like crazy and has graduated from his crib to a big boy bed (see photo). I can't believe how grown up my little boy is! Where did the time go??

Hope you are all having a fun summer!
