| Lance and Abe at Anna’s wedding. |
  |
| Henry spent the two months following his eye surgery with some sort of sun glasses on every day to cover up his “dragon eye.” The kids (and teacher) called him Cyclops to make him feel cool. . .Yeah “It’s cool to pee your pants.” |
 |
| Proof that we celebrated Easter like honest Christians. |
 |
| Creativity overfloweth in the bathtub. |
1) “Mom did you know there are such things as earth fish? Yeah, like moles and worms and stuff are kinda like earth fish.” . . .My kid is a scientific genius, classifying at age 7.
2) We pulled over on our way home tonight because Mt. Rainer was looking fantastic. Henry-“Can we pwease yust go now?”
Abe-“I‘m in love with that mountain. Can a person marry a mountain?”
H –“You would have to kiss it and your lips would be soo cold.”
A-“And when she would cry, it would be hot lava everywhere and I would have to run away”
3) H-“What if the sun was put out” ya know like you put out a fire
A-without skipping a beat says “We would all die from coldness plus we wouldn’t have any food”
4) Just now we were looking at conception to birth images on the computer. Abe was soooo delighted to find out that he used to have a tail. He kept laughing and thinking up different things he would do if he could have held onto that dang tail. For ex: “I could be a wrestler and use it for moves in the ring”
I know I have a ton of blogging to catch up on but these little gems were all from tonight and I don’t want to forget.
We will miss you
Getting ready for eye surgery. Henry did NOT want to give up those pants. He also was very underwhelmed by the loonytoons robe. He told the nurse he would rather have batman.
X marks the spot. . .or the eye.
You should have seen how brave he was. We watched him walk down the hall with about 5 other adults. No sadness just a blanket wrapped around himself for modesty's sake. Also huge grippy socks that were so big they slouched around his ankles. He was the picture of vulnerability but he wasn’t worried. The staff at primary children’s were ASWESOME. We watched the anesthesiologist pull out her iphone so that Henry could watch “Cars” on it till he fell asleep. They really tried to make him feel comfortable, I’m grateful. He told us later about the stickers they put on his chest to listen to his heart rate.
This is when we got him back. He was no longer calm and collected, amazing panic had taken over. It was soooo sad.
Riding to the car in a wheel chair did help a little. You should have seen the looks we got going to our car. Henry looked unwell to say the least (he never did barf.)
Things were a lot more easy to deal with back in a familiar environment.
This is what he looks like today. Terrifying and lovable, all at the same time.
This picture is just to leave the blog on a high note. I found Henry drinking “homemade apple juice” on Wednesday. He claims it tastes just like apples!
Here is the recipe:
Put water in a cup.
Put an apple in the cup.
Try and drink around the apple.
Enjoy!
Bechya thought we forgot. We didn’t. We’ve just been working on it.

| From WAY back when. |
 |
| From almost four years ago. |
 |
| For your birthday Henry has drawn you with a bionic hand that shoots. . .just what you always wanted. . .also it looks like you might be puking. |
December  |
| Abe took a more friendly approach to your birthday and made you both kings together. . .I can’t think of a word to describe this picture with out being offensive. Great spelling ABE! |
Happy birthday, we thought of you!
  |
| Pre wedding snack and makeup. |
 |
| Every one is feeling appropriately affectionate and loving pre wedding. |
 |
| Abe taking his job of snack time supplier VERY seriously. |
 |
This is Abe patently waiting for Anna to finish with pictures so that she can have a granola bar. He would not move until she took one from him.  |
 |
| Scott hits his meat limit at Rodizios and starts to sweat bacon. |
  |
| This is the kids meeting their wedding limit and turning to electronics. |
We have GOT to have the MOST pathetic Harry Potter parties on the planet, but here is another one, documented and completed. We finished # 2 then we promptly ate cauldron cakes, polyjuice potion, and yes Abe even made us our very own chamber of secrets complete with a snake. (I think he is terribly clever). So with robes that are shabbier than any Weasly ever wore (because ours are Scott’s T shirts) we give thanks for Harry Potter # 2.
As a side note, do you think it’s weird or strange that I have forbidden the forbidden curses to be uttered in this house? The curses made me genuinely uncomfortable.
I turned 30 yesterday. Honestly it was a ton of fun, I had a very fun filled weekend and I really felt the love. Perhaps the best moment of my birthday is documented below. One of my goals this year is to run a marathon on June 2nd, so one of my presents from Scott was a scheduled message for post marathon. Scott put Abe in charge of making a card/gift certificate. Below is what he came up with. “massage man” poring “oil” on a happy and contented mom below:) I can not stop laughing. This picture is a slightly nasty reminder that I am so lucky to have a family that has my back and is willing to make sacrifices for my goal. Abe is one of my biggest supporters and my only fan that holds out hope before every half marathon I’ve run that I will finally win the entire race. Thank you family for the confidence, the eggs, the gear, the money, the time, and yes, even for the messages.
