Tucker Visit

We had an amazing weekend with our good friends, the Tuckers. Alan and Madison have really missed each other since the move and he didn't know they were coming until they pulled up in the driveway. I can't believe I didn't have the video camera ready. It was like watching a commercial on TV. Alan opened the door and there was Madison. They both instantly flung open arms, screamed and ran to embrace!!! We spent Friday night catching up and getting ready to hit the beach on Saturday.

The weather was perfect beach weather. Daniel and Nathan managed to push and pull the Radio Flyer wagon through all the sand. Then they got the screened in tent set up to provide shade so the kids wouldn't get fried in the sun. It was successful no one got sunburned unless you count a very small part of my shoulder that must not have gotten covered completely with sunscreen.

Alan and Madison have opposite passions at the beach. Madison could roll around and be covered in the sand. She couldn't get enough of it and Alan was constantly asking me to wipe his hands when they got sandy. Alan LOVED to jump the waves in the water and the waves were kinda scary for Madison. Eddie is happy anywhere. He really enjoyed the sand under the tent. He was trying to bury himself in it and even filled his pockets to bring some home!!

ARRRRR!! Ahoy Matey!

I am long over due in this post as it's been 2 weeks ago already!! We took Alan's best buddy Aidan and his family on the Sea Dragon Pirate Cruise to celebrate all our August birthdays this year. The cruise was a BLAST!! It's family oriented and jam packed with activities for the kids. They start off in the red circle on the main deck for a safety talk about running and all the normal safety stuff. Then they give them all squirt guns and anyone on the main deck is fair game for the water gun fight. Then they have the kids swab the deck with child size mops. Then they take them into the dungeon to tell them a story about a treasure buried at sea. When they come up from the dungeon we all have to look for the "X" bouy. Then one of the pirate crew gets them all lined up with a rope and they have to pull the chest up out of the water. Everyone gets some of the treasure to take home. One of the last activities was getting pirate tatoos. Here is Alan aka Captain

Daniel's Surgery

It's 1:30am and been a very long day. Daniel's surgery was pushed back quite a bit today and we are just getting home from the hospital. The doctor gave us some neat pictures and I hope to get them along with all the details added to this post in the very near future. Thanks for all your prayers and please continue to pray for a speedy recovery. WARNING WARNING WARNING the following pictures are not for those of you with weak stomachs!!! Here is his Gall Bladder (everything here is normal) This next picture was explained with some big words. My teaching background kicked in so I rephrased what the doctor was telling me in words I could understand and he said I was understanding correctly. This is Daniel's colon an it should be able to move freely, but there is a spider web kind of forming around it trapping it. The doctor was able to cut it free. Here is Daniel's small intestine. It was getting caught up in the web as well, but the doctor was successful in freein
