Firsts

Eva had her adenoids removed yesterday, and tubes put in her ears. She has been excited about her surgery for weeks! I have plenty of video of her gabbing away about the thrill of her "first surgery!" 

This is how she looked after they gave her the hot pink vodka (or whatever it was) to get her to relax. She was a little loopy for a while-so funny. I sent her off without the slightest problem. However, when I came into the recovery room, I had a little difficulty keeping my feet under me. She was scared by how the drugs made her feel, her throat hurt, and she couldn't keep from crying (which is a big no-no after a throat surgery). I had never seen her like that, and apparently it was very subconsciously disturbing, so I ended up in the recliner, with my legs elevated, drinking apple juice for 15 minutes! Never saw it coming. I blame the pregnancy entirely! :)

Though my husband and daughters don't agree with me, I say that the mohawk was a mistake. He just doesn't look like Levi. He looks like a terror. It makes all his stinkering even more stinkerish.

 But it brought out the opera singer in him, which should relieve us of his college expenses.

he sings with such intensity and emotion!

A couple weeks ago, my little Molly decided to grow up and go to school.  I didn't let her see me cry. 

She has Eva's kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Angeline, and is loving it. She was more than ready for school, she'll be six next week!

no time for hemming pants when you buy them the night before school starts...

And Eva went to school too. I didn't cry.

and neither did she.

but Levi needed a little comforting. And where better to find it than in the bin of Molly's fall clothes? Fetal position, no less. :)
