Unexpected Visits

It's been a busy month around here so we've been on the go doing lots of fun and not so fun stuff.

In a matter of 3 weeks our townhouse flooded (AGAIN), Isaiah spent some time at Children's Hospital after being flown down here for a skull fracture, my cousin (who lives in Montana) also spent time here for a surgery, Isaiah visited again for an infection in the fore mentioned skull fracture, and we had a funeral.

Last week I told the kids we were having a true staycation and we planned on not leaving the house for a whole week since we hadn't spent a whole day at home in a month!  We succeeded with only trips into town to see grandma.

Isaiah fell while riding his brand new bike and must have been going pretty fast (Isaiah style) because he ended up being flown down here for emergency surgery.  He hit his head on the very top and it was in the worst place possible since it was pressing down on a very big artery.  He was so lucky and truly God had other plans for Isaiah because he could have very well not have lived through this.  He was up and moving the next day and we got to spend some time with him before they went home.

A week later he came back with an infection, and thankfully that cleared up quickly.  While they were waiting for it to clear up we got to go to the zoo and hang out with him and Tasha which was a nice treat for us.  And don't worry Rilyn gave him a stern talking to which went something like this, "Isaiah you boy you!  You have to wear a helmet when you ride your bike, you boy you."  Poor kid is probably really tired of his younger cousin lecturing him and I'm pretty sure she's never going to let him live it down.

Within seconds of entering their hotel room these 3 had shoes off and were resigned to laying in bed and watching TV together the rest of the night.  I asked Ryder what he was doing and he told me he was going to sleep because there was a bed and than said, " I didn't know they had a shower too!"  Hotel rooms are very exciting when you are 2.  

He was only smiling until it started.  As soon as the carousel started moving he freaked out. 

We also got to spend time with my cousin, her daughters, my grandma, and uncle.  It was nice to see everyone and hang out with them while they were here.  Somehow I didn't even know that my grandma was also coming so it was a nice surprise when we saw her.
