bye bye tonsils (beware of semi-gross picture)

Tomorrow all four kids are having their tonsils removed. They were lucky enough to receive the large tonsil gene from Matt. Below is a picture of Jake's tonsils. They are a size 4 on a scale of 1-4. That's big. The triplets' are almost as big as his.

This will be their first surgery so it will be interesting to see how they do. Hopefully they will be quick healers but the doctor says that they will have to stay down for 5 days. During that time they will get to eat fun stuff (popsicles, shakes, jell-o, etc.) to their hearts content. I am sure they will survive but will I?

Abigail

Here are some of my favorite shots from my portrait session today. It for sure helps that Abigail is so stinkin' cute! Can you believe those big blue eyes and those darling curls. Love it!

(Oh, thanks to my friend Jenn for letting me use her awesome yard for the session.)

Our First But Probably Not The Last

Little League Baseball. This summer Matt and Matthew were involved with a little league baseball All-Star team. Matt was coach and Matthew a player. This was our first time as part of the all-star program and unfortunately I didn't really know what to expect. What I didn't know was that it lasted through most of the summer and that there is a practice or a game EVERY night. This resulted in M & M missing out on some vacations and all of my planned summer projects postponed.


Despite my seemingly downer attitude about it, it actually was alot of fun. I loved seeing Matt and Matthew bond even more. Matt really was a great coach and he sincerely enjoys coaching the kids. I loved going to the games and seeing our little team of 8 year olds win almost every game (I think their record was 12-4 and they took 2nd in the State tournament). And I loved getting to know all of the incredible families with kids on our team (and the other Olympus team too). Here are some pictures from the season. Next up...Little League Football. Another first for us. I'll keep you posted.
