Patrick's surgery, day at the river and more

I have been meaning to update as things happened but keep forgetting and now I'm trying to remember all that has happened over the past few weeks.

Patrick's surgery a couple of weeks ago went very well. He's still not totally healed but he's doing fine. He goes back for a follow up appointment the end of this month. He did so well after the surgery we barely even needed to use children's Tylenol. He's a tough little guy.

A few days after Patrick's surgery we went to a friend's place along the river in Deltaville. It was our playgroup friends and we had a great time. Although, Jack doesn't seem to be fond of sand (probably takes after me!). He would NOT touch the sand or go near the water. He was fine once we blew up a little baby pool. Poor Patrick wanted to get into everything, but because he just had his surgery a few days prior I didn't want him to get sandy and wet. So he had to hang out in the stroller most of the time. They both had fun playing inside after lunch and slept well on the car ride home. We are really going to miss our group of friends when we move :(

Let's see what else... OH! we bought a new car! This was totally Mike's idea. I was fine driving the Pathfinder and figured he should get a nice new car for himself, since he deserves it. We bought a 2006 Lexus GX. It is now mostly my car and Mike drives the Pathfinder. We are selling the Galant. A woman actually came by this week to look at it with her son so just waiting for her to get the money together and it will be finalized. I will miss my Galant, since that was my car for so long. I won't miss it too long though after driving the Lexus! It has a built in DVD player which is great for the boys.

I'm trying to remember what else... This weekend I am running the Xterra 1oK Trail Run. I am excited and nervous. My friend and I are checking the course out tomorrow and just hoping I didn't get myself too over my head :|

It's getting down to wire and need to start packing too. I have done a few boxes here and there, but I just stare and everything and wonder what to do next!? Mike's mom will hopefully be taking the boys over night so we can get things packed up and ready to go. We'll be moving July 2!

This is how he fell asleep... so sweet.

I ran a trail run at Mendon Ponds Park about 3 years ago... it was a 4.5 miler, with the option to do 9 miles (run the course twice)... I'm telling you, it was the hardest freaking thing I have ever done. I'm sure you will do fine, especially since you are checking out the course ahead of time, which I didn't do (though I wish I had!) Let me know how it goes!
