Some pics

Both boys are "sleeping". Not really, just laying peacefully in their beds. Crazy, huh? lol

I thought I'd give a little update and some pics. Things are going very well. Caden is learning to speak better and better. He's really starting to put more words together and his pronunciation is getting better as well. Cameron is a rolling fool! He rolls over and over and over and eventually hits something and gets very upset. It's pretty cute. He bonks his head on the TV hutch a lot. :)

This weekend is Derby Days. There's little kiddy rides and such. I think we are going to take the kids after Paul gets home from work. :) I'll try to remember to take pics. Our camera is kinda broken. The little latches that hold the batteries in place are broken, so you have to hold it shut. Pain in the butt, but at least it works... kinda. lol

Old pictures

When uploading the pictures from our party last week, I found some old pictures on the other memory card. I couldn't believe what I saw. They were the pictures that I thought I had lost. Some of Caden pre-surgery. I knew I had them somewhere, but we had uploaded them to our old laptop, that died. I'm so glad I found them! Here they are. I think he looks like Cameron in some of them. :)

I took this one a few days before we went to KC for the first surgery. I can't remember his chest ever looking like that... His binky looks so big! I'm pretty sure there's another picture of him in the hospital, between surgeries, with that binky. On the right with the other pictures.

I don't know when or why I took this one. I think we already knew at this point that he would need surgery. I took several of his chest because I feared that I wouldn't remember his chest... good thing I did, huh?

This is of the back of his head, on or around 3/19/07. We were in room 21b, in the PICU. Don't ask how I remember these things. I think it's burned into my memory. This was only 5 weeks into our stay. We were there for about 12 weeks. It got so much worse than this, but you can see how the back of his head started to "creep up". I guess that's what you'd call it. The picture of me holding Caden on the right that says Mommy holding Caden in the PICU was taken the same day. If you were to look at him from the front, it almost looked like he had a cone head. Not anymore though! :)

Caden Day

Tomorrow is the day Caden came home from the hospital. It is also the day that our friends lost their little girl. I have mixed emotions about it, but we are planning on going out to dinner or somthing for Caden. Something fun for him, to celebrate his two year anniversary. We had a party last year. I almost cancelled it last year, because... well, I won't get into it.

Paul and I decided that every year, on that day, we would do something nice for him, and then one day he'll ask why. That part was Paul's idea. I don't know why we can't just tell him. It's not a bad thing.

On another note, I posted on my blog a little bit ago. Just upset rambling, really. FYI
