Grandma's Visit

My mom flew in to Birmingham to spend a weekend with the boys and me. Here is the boys reaction when she got off the plane.






We had been planning on seeing Thomas the Train in Calera, AL since January. On Friday we drove up to Alabama and picked Grandma up at the air port in horrible storms. Turns out the storms were so horrible they destroyed the tents and activities at Thomas the Train and the event for Sat and Sun got CANCELLED!!! I think this was a way bigger disappointment for me than anyone else. It was cold and dreary on Sat AND we weren't going to see Thomas the Train !?! We ended up going to the Birmingham zoo with our friends the Tuckers and ended up having a great time. I posted several pictures from the weekend and this past week in the 2008_April album on the NEW Saucer Family website. A special thanks to Nathan and Chalane for letting us stay with them and hosting our weekend with Grandma. We had a great time!!!

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
