Bye-bye Tonsils!
Because Marshall has had so many strep throat infections the past few years, the pediatrician suggested he have his tonsils taken out. The worst part was he had to have blood "tooken" out of his arm a few days before which was traumatic for him! He wasn't happy the morning of surgery, but once he had his "cocktail," he relaxed and they took him back. Everything went smoothly and afterward, he slept a few hours before going home at noon.
I had never seen an oxygen monitor on a toe before, but evidently, that's how they do it on children!
His "Toy Story" crocs that completed his ensemble of Toy Story underwear and Toy Story pajamas!
He was a brave boy and enjoyed being with his mom for the next three days and his dad for one day before heading back to school the next Monday. He was disappointed that the doctor wouldn't put his tonsils in a jar so he could take them to school!
Cousins and Pumpkins
Since Marshall had his tonsils taken out on Tuesday, I decided to take Macy with me to Houston to visit her cousin Ainsley and her mom and dad last weekend. On Saturday, we went to a charity golf tournament luncheon. As I was going through Macy's clothes that morning to get her dressed, Colleen saw one of the outfits Julie had put in and she said, "Oh my gosh! Ainsley has that exact same outfit!" So both girls dressed in their Gymboree twin outfits. Colleen and I tried and tried to get some pictures of the two of them, but they just couldn't get together on their smiles. In this picture, you can see Ainsley is trying to stand exactly like her big cousin, Macy!
Ainsley refused to give up her sippy cup!
Ainsley takes saying "cheese" very seriously!
This picture should be titled "Imagination." While we were waiting for the buffet to be set up, Macy and Ainsley went outside and began making "nests" out of pine needles for their pine cones. It was like they were on an Easter egg hunt!
Afterward, we went to the grocery store and bought each girl a pumpkin. This is Ainsley's.
And this one is Macy's---she wanted a small one, and she didn't want to put plastic facial features on it like Ainsley did, but chose to decorate it with marker. She named her "Sally." Sally even slept with us that night, along with numerous dolls!
Two little cousins, as different as their pumpkins! Say "cheese" Ainsley!
