This week we had a couple of different activitites. Eric had surgery on his foot to remove a broken sewing needle that he stepped on a couple of years ago. He had a really good doctor. Eric told the doctor that he was going to torment me about this situation for years to come and the doc told me he would show me the spot where he cuts so I can kick it everytime. The surgery went good. It was the first time I have ever seen Eric loopy. I am glad that it went well and that it was fast. Now hopefully the recovery process will go by fast. So far it has been more sore than he could have expected.

Wednesday we celebrated Grandma Jill's Birthday. The kids were really happy to sing to Grandma. Ben even made the upstairs into a "Birthday Party" in which grandma particpated by sitting on chairs that is difficult for anyone to get out of. But she loves her Benji so much that she did it for him.


Emily is working on crawling, I have to add in a cute picture of my little girl. However, I thought she was teething because she has been cranky, along with a cold. I noticed her ears were draining late Friday night so I took her to urgent care and they told me she has a perforated left ear drum. I took her to the Pediatrician today and he suggested that she have tubes put in her ears. Poor baby she can't catch a break.

Eric's best friend Dan, Uncle Dan, has been visiting for a couple of days. He has been a real help since Eric is hobbling around on his injured foot. It is always nice to have Dan visit the boys really like him and Emily lights up when she see's him.

We celebrated New Years Eve at our friends house. They had a family New Years Eve party. It was fun to be able to hang out with new people and the kids were excited to have noise makers.

Joey started Sunbeams on Sunday. He was very excited to be with the big kids but when I tried to leave him he didn't want me to leave. Benji was excited to move up to CTR4. He got his 1st CTR ring. He said he was CTR 4 like he was Battle Force 5 and he wanted to put our rings together and unite. It was rather cute.
