Amazingness Abounds.

Asher's Self Portrait

Sully & Griff -- he got big hugs when he finally got to go back to school after surgery :)

Ash & Fritz

Shopping with Grandma Karen

Brothers

Chalk Paint = My New Favorite Art

We are a house that makes messes.

"Just paint rolling my face... no big deal"

Half the time, I swear Asher is a Dr. Suess character...

That little one sprinting around?  Yeah he had surgery 48 hours ago.  Amazing huh?

Spying on Ben in the garage...

 Now these pictures.  These are almost too much.

Recovery Weekend

We had a nice quiet weekend.  Perfect for healing babies.

Up to no good.

Glitter projects for OTHER people (that means it is Ben approved)

We made a triumphant return to Izzy's (we hadn't been back since Sullivan had an allergic reaction there last summer) -- we brought Sully his own ice cream.  Everyone was happy :)

Playing hide & seek.

Successful Surgery

Surgery went very well on Friday.  As always, we were so happy with Children's Saint Paul, and Sullivan was the world's best patient.

Hanging out ahead of surgery... so sleepy already at 8:00 a.m. (with no drugs on board)

Sharing mom's gear for going back into the OR suite.

Hanging out in the PACU after the procedure was done.

Little fever...little reaction to the meds...big tomato :)

And then Sully snuggled for the rest of the day....

...and sometimes couldn't quite make it to a lap.

Meanwhile... the Nathan family adopted Asher for the day and he had an awesome time :)

Both boys winking at shoppers in Target.  Fantastic.  :)
