There is only one happiness in life -- to love and to be loved.

Lately

It feels like the last few weeks have been a whirlwind. I have always wondered what it would be like to stand out in the middle of the field when one of those "dust tornados" were going on, and after these few weeks I think I might have something to compare it to.


The last two weeks I have been helping with the biometric screenings for our wellness program at work. It has equaled many early mornings and late nights, but is always fun. It is fun getting to see people you normally don't get to see every day. That is one thing that I really enjoy about employee events... getting to interact with all the people!


On a different note: Ben is doing GREAT!! He does not have much pain anymore and is getting around like those crutches are second nature. He has a boot on now that he has to wear anytime he is up moving around. When he is sleeping or just sitting he can take the boot off. The doctor told him to start moving his ankle and he has a lot of his mobility back. It is still a little swollen and he has a ways to go, but he is off to a great start.


Louie is still trying to heal up. We took another urine sample a week after he had been on the antibiotic. There was no change in his urine from the previous week. Still blood and white blood cells in the urine. It is not as dark as when I first noticed blood in his urine, but there has been no improvement in the urine tests. Another 7-10 days of antibiotics and then another urine test. If there still is no improvement he will need to have some x-rays done to see if he has stones. He is still eating, drinking and running like crazy on his wheel so I think he feels okay. Still losing quite a few quills.



Below are some recent pictures:



Below: The Tad man fell into the side table and got a black eye. That same week he fell again and ended up with a bloody nose. Poor little guy!!


Below: Tad and I are playing with food (of course). He thought it was really funny to watch me eat.
Below: Tad was helping Grandma with laundry... if unfolding folded laundry counts!! He has a celery stick in his hand. He was dipping it in Ranch dressing earlier. (That's my boy!!)
Below: Tad and his Momma were line dancing!! Watch our girls!!

Below: Tad stopped to strike a pose.

Below: Uncle Jake was helping Tad get ready for his bath. Little did he know that Tad would try to pee all over him after he took off his diaper.

Below: Tad has already figured out how to lick the beaters. The one he has is mashed potatoes. It will be so much better if it was brownies!

Below: Uncle Ben and Tad were playing. Ben had the cup stuck to his face and Tad was trying to pull it off.

Below: Tad thinks Uncle Ben's crutches are really cool.

Below: Tad went and played at the park in Garber one day. He LOVES the swings.


Below: Tad decided that he was tired of riding in the wagon and wanted to walk. He hasn't figured out that he has to hold someone's hand if he is walking down the street. In fact he did not like holding hands at all!

Below: I love this picture of Tad... even if he was cranky!



Below: Tad has his own straw he plays with, but is always trying to get Grandma's straw. This time he was faster.

Below: Tad was checking his grocery list. LOL


Below: Tad was tired of riding in the wagon... so he decided to push it.



Below: Tad greeting Poppa when he came in the door. He always runs right over when Gigi and Poppa come in.

Below: Heck yeah he is an OSU fan!!


Below: Gigi and Tad were dancing.

Below: You can kind of see the rash Tad has from an allergic reaction to some antibiotics he was on. He is fine though.

Below: I was tickling Tad.


Tad turns 1 on Friday!!! This year has gone by so fast. We are having his birthday party on Saturday. He is such a neat little guy and we are so blessed to have him.
