All of the romantics in the crowd will be excited to hear that Sheri's Valentine's Day gift was a printer. I typically don't buy Sheri jewelry, mostly because I think there are so many other practical things in life I could get her. The boys were excited because they got a new Wii game (Mario Party 8). I tried to get one that had some movement to it. Its okay, but I am still looking for games that offer a lot of motion rather than thumb and finger controls.
Bailey had surgery on February 22. This was really minor stuff. She needed tubes in her ears so the craniofacial doctor decided to fix up Bailey's nose while she was under anesthesia. He is a total perfectionist and Bailey's nose now has perfect symmetry. The changes were subtle but she looks great. The funniest story from the surgery came as we were about to take Bailey back to recieve the anesthesia by a gas mask. The anesthesiologist said Bailey might be giddy or scared, each kid reacts differently. After she left, Sheri and I were discussing what Bailey might look like if she were giddy. Bailey promptly asked when we would see the "kitty" back in the doctor's office. Bailey wasn't giddy, in fact she looked quite scared as she was going to sleep with the anesthesia. I was sure glad to see her awake after the surgery was complete. She now runs around the house and has already hit her nose once or twice despite the doctor's request that she not get banged up too much. The problem is that she has 3 older brothers......
I found out today that a wrist injury I sustained in early December may require surgery this summer to correct some ligament damage. I am certainly praying that I won't need surgery, but its possible that I may.
We are all looking forward to the early issuance of daylight savings this year. That will allow some evening outdoor hours as we will have light. The kids are looking forward to warm weather.
