It's a zoo!

It is an absolute zoo around here these days!  At least it feels that way.  The boys are really on the move these days and tend to move like a little herd of animals.  It is hilarious.  The only time it's not quite as hilarious is when they gang up and do something like knock a kitchen chair over.  It's a miracle there are no broken bones in our house yet.  They push each other over, crawl over each other and just cause general chaos.  They are also into everything.  In the last few days I've caught myself saying things like "We don't eat magazines!", "Don't eat the bank statement!", "No dog food!".  Reese actually had a few nibbles of dog food after breakfast this morning.  They tear things apart, unfold laundry, make a mess and stand up against the door so that I can't get in.  Ah, yes.  They are boys.  :)

On a completely unrelated note I was interviewed for our town's newsletter yesterday.  I submitted a story about 6 months ago and they had room to put it in the letter for July.  It's a hometown heroes kind of thing.  I felt like the 2 officers who saved Reese deserved more than just a letter in their file and an extra day off.  So, I told the story yet again yesterday.  The reporter loved the idea of honoring them in a more public way.  It will be in the July issue.  Maybe I can get her to send me an electronic copy and I can post it.

Tomorrow is a big day for Noah.  He will hopefully have his first and last appointment with a pediatric cardiologist.  When he was born he had a little opening in his heart.  This is something that normally closes before a baby is born, but since they were premature it didn't have time to close.  Most of the time they close on their own and nothing needs to be done.  Our pediatrician has kept an eye on it and thinks it's closed.  We are praying that is the case.  I think they next step is just medication, so that's not a big deal either.  The worst case scenario is surgery.  I hope and pray we don't ever have to put one of our kids through surgery again any time soon.  So, tomorrow we hope to hear good news and make this the last ever appointment to a cardiologist.  Prayers are appreciated for this (and always..for everything!).

Finally I wanted to share what the boys and I did for Nate for Father's Day.  It turned out too cute not to share.

In case you can't tell, it's says DAD.  :)
