Hello April

Yes, I know... it's been almost 2 months since I last updated this blog. Let's just say that I have either been too tired or uninspired to write anything for a while. I'm not even sure if anyone has noticed or not... all my people who had been keeping up-to-date on this blog has probably given up on me. Maybe I'll have to send out the blog website again so they know that I do at least check the comments. :)

Let's see... last I updated I was getting ready to wait in waiting rooms. Luke's surgery went really well & I would say was a success because now he can hear really well. The doctor came out & talked to Erik & me after he was done. He said that he had gummy mucus in his ear, he compared it to airplane glue, & said that his tonsils were the largest he had taken out this year. Of course it was only February 19th when all this happened. He had his 6-week checkup on Thursday & the doctor said everything looked good. He can swim this summer, we got a headband for him to use with the earplugs to protect the plugs from coming out.

Erik's PRK surgery went really well. I actually got to watch the procedure. It was definitely interesting & I am curious who came up with the procedure & who was the guinea pig, because I sure wouldn't have been the first to have that done. The whole procedure took about 5-10 minutes each eye & then he had to wear a contact for about a week until the cells grew back. He has been back to the eye doctor several times for checkups & each time he gets a good report. He wasn't able to drive for the first week, so needless to say I was busy that first week!

As for me, nothing too major going on. We had Spring Break for our class this week, so it was nice to not have class on Tuesday. We don't have our first class for about 3-weeks now & when we do meet it is our last class, which is April 28th. We each scheduled a time for the 14th, 21st & part of 28th to meet with him to go over our videotape. So, I do meet with him on the 21st, but only for 15 minutes. Our 2nd class is over April 21st... so it is fast approaching! This semester seems to have flown by so quickly!!

April seems like it is slowly getting busy for us... this week we are having a landscape designer come look our backyard & give us some ideas. We want to look into getting a pergola put up on our patio & some plants/shrubs, etc. Right now we have one tree in our backyard... so, it's a blank slate. April 16th we sign Luke up for kindergarten... where has the time gone?? I can't believe he will be 5-years-old next month!! Speaking of which, I guess I better start planning his birthday party! Erik's birthday is the 24th of this month... so, we'll be celebrating his birthday too. Busy month!!

Well, I think that pretty much wraps up what we have been up to. Hopefully everyone is enjoying the weather (at least today is sunny here in Indy). Until next time...
