We had a very traumatic and tiring day at Children's Hospital. She looks so happy in these pics--but she wasn't. I think she just likes to get her picture taken and to pose. Anyway, yesterday Macy had her tonsillectomy/adnoidectomy surgery. They kept her overnight to make sure everything was good because of her size. Children's hospital is great, the people, the game rooms, and I'm glad we chose that hospital. But, last night was rough. After Greg left, things took a dive. It started out nice, macy slept for about an hour then I noticed she had an accident (which they said sometimes happens with the codeine, they sleep so hard). Then we had another accident! Then I accidently stepped on her IV line and pulled it right out of her arm--which means there was blood spurting everywhere (this was at 2:30 am), then she was complaining of stomach aches. So, to distract her we watched a movie at 3:00am and read a book about princesses. We then go into the bathroom, and Macy throws up all over. Puke everywhere. The poor nurse didn't know what to do with us last night. We finally snuggled in around 4:30 to sleep and was awakened at 5:15 for medicine and vitals (of course). After going back to sleep we were awakened at 7:00 for breakfast. So in all we had about 2-3 hours of sleep. The poor girl is exhausted. One of the child life specialists came in today and we had a little tea party (they wouldn't let us leave until Macy started drinking liquids and not throwing them up) with chocolate milk. it was cute. We finally got home around 1:00. wooh. So that's the story of macy's surgery.
Here is a picture of us reading a book before bed tonight. I guess it's on the top. I still don't know how to arrange pictures on this blog. oh well.

Pure exhaustion!!! Macy was happily playing on the computer, I went to the kitchen to do some dishes, I came back after 10 minutes and found her asleep using the computer as a pillow. First thing I did was grab my camera!
My garden. This was taken a few weeks ago. It's gigantic now---everything is kind of growing together now.....I need a bigger garden next year. I can't believe how fast it is growing.
Our peonies in the front yard.
Bring some peonies inside. I didn't shake out all the ants very well.
