Eli's surgery

A month ago Elise had ear tubes put in and adenoids taken out.  She has been having trouble hearing due to significant fluid in her ears for the past year or so which has also led to difficulty with sleep and other things.   She was such a trooper during the whole process.  It was tough to have this little peanut fast until noon but once she got her special gown, hat and sedative "juice"  she had no reluctance to go back in with the nurse for the procedure.  When the nurse walked in to get her, Elise said "I like you"
 and together they went to look at the "magic doors" to the OR.  Now a month later, she hears significantly better (TV is half the volume in was prior to surgery) and she can finally breathe through her nose!  

Recovering

Once

Mom, Lucie and I went to see once early June and had a fabulous girls mini weekend.  

Summer catch up

Summer is definitely here and before baby is here, I better catch up and document all that we have been up to.  We haven't left Wenatchee except for local adventures in the past two months but we have stayed busy.  From biking, visiting parks, beaches and pools to cool off, play dates with friends and fun around the house it has been such a special time to be at home with these two and take it all in.

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the special daddies in our lives.  We had a wonderful weekend with our families and finished the weekend off with our first ride on the Wenatchee Rails train.  The kiddos loved it and I'm sure we will be doing it again and again.  

New ride

Someone is in heaven with their new Mercedes, can't decide if it's deda or Elise :)  Finn on the other hand has ridden in it only one the first day and since is too scared to get it, only wants to play with radio and horn.  Elise is amazingly an excellent driver, like she was born to drive navigating around babi and deda's yard and parking in the garage.  For now she has taken over babi's garage spot so babi parks outside:)    What lucky kiddos.

Weekend with cousins

Lucie and I talked last year how fun this summer will be with the kiddos being so close in age and playing together and we're almost there!  It is so much fun having Owen visit and to see the interaction between the three.  Elise loves to check on Owen and nurture him in not always so gentle nurturing ways and Finn loves to yell and get Owen's attention.  Before long these three will be chasing each other around the yard, causing lots of mischief for babi and deda :)

Beautiful babi with her grandbabies!

Memorial Weekend at the Lake

We had a wonderful day at the cabin yesterday with grandma, full of beach, sand, beach fire, hot dogs, games and rest for mommy :)
