Easter

Tyler and Juli dying easter eggs.He thought it was just so cool that he could make green from blue and yellow. I was surprised that he knew it without me telling him. Elle enjoyed easter too!Tyler left his easter candy out after telling him several times to pick it all up so I just let her get into it. I think he learned a lesson.

Elle's Easter

She found Tyler's easter candy and dug right in.

First Step

Elle took her first step yesterday (I did trick her). She is such a stinker and I really have to work with her to learn to walk. She would rather crawl everywhere. Hopefully in the next couple weeks I can get her to actually want to walk without me tricking her. We'll see. Josh is doing pretty good. He is still nauseous throughout the day, but he actually went to work for 3 hours or so yesterday and some today. I think he is crazy,especially since the doctor told him 2 weeks. He has to keep his leg completely straight and it makes it hard to move around. All I have to say is said my peace and there should be no complaining,right! I love him. Thanks for all of your support and prayers for Josh's recovery. It definitely has been a lot easier having help then doing it on my own.

Josh's Knee Surgery

Josh had meniscus and ACL surgery (knee repairs on his left leg) on Friday morning, the 14th. We had to be there at 6am, which was torture because we hadn't gotten use to the time change yet so it felt like 4am when we got up. Anyways, the surgery went real well the doctor was like the same age as us which felt weird, but he was really good. Josh felt really nauseous after and they gave him 3 different drugs until he felt better. So we were there in the recovery for almost 3 hrs. and you could tell they were trying to get rid of him as fast as they could. So far I have really liked having Kaiser Insurance. I was able to get his prescription drugs right there before we went home, the doctor gave him the best ice machine and they just took good care of him. We got home about 1:30 from the hospital and he has basically gone from our bed to the couch for the past 72 hours. He has kept himself busy by reading lots of books on business. And I am very grateful for all of the help because I didn't realize that I would be just physically exhausted from taking care of him at odd hours and taking care of the kids. I guess I am finding out that Josh sure did a lot around here. He is very helpful when he can be.

Elle Update

Elle is almost walking. We have been working so hard with her, along with her teachers and we are just praying that it will happen in the next week or so. She just turned 18 months and she had her first day of nursery. I couldn't believe Josh left her, but she went right for the toys and didn't look back. The nursery leader said she did great.
