Tonsils and Adenoids Surgery

Our sweet little Samantha had to have her tonsils and adenoids taken out this week. Her pediatrician said even though she has not been sick, her tonsils are so big that they are touching one another and it could cause problems in the future. So after a lot of back and forth we decided it would be best for them to come out. Chris and I were at the hospital at 6:30 in the morning and when they gave Samantha the "happy juice" it was like looking into a crystal ball to an eighteen year old girl that had came home drunk and everything was hilarious. Samantha was so happy and giggly that when the time came to go to the operating room she climed in the wagon and away we went. The surgery was quick and when Dr. Woodson came to talk to us she said Samantha had an 80% airway obstruction from her adenoids plus the enlarged tonsils. Chris and I were so relieved that we made the right choice and we can't wait until she feels better because it has to be such a great feeling to her to be able to breathe now! She has been amazing through this whole process and we are sooo proud of her!

End of Preschool

So Thursday was Samantha's last day of preschool. She has really enjoyed meeting new friends and learning what school is all about. She enjoyed making art projects the most and playing with the good smelling play do. For the last day of school picnic all the kids made handprint shirts with their classmates fingerprints on them as well. They turned out sooo sute! Next year for Pre-K she will finally be at Redstone with Jack. It will be great to have the two of them at the same school! For now its summer break time, bring on the fun!

Field Day Fun!

We love Field Day! It is such a great memory from our childhood that when the end of the school year rolls around we look forward to this day. Jack has come to love it as much as we do. This year field day had been cancelled twice due to the weather so we were happy to finally get it in. New to field day this year was the large super stackers. The kids were so good at it, we were amazed. Our favorite relay was the water relay of course because there is water involved :0) To end the day all the kiddos got to enjoy otter pops and they spent the whole day outside. There is nothing better than seeing the huge smile on Jack's face at the end of the day!
