A few Updates

We have been busy around our house. Mike is working on laying tile in our kitchen and office and the house has been CRAZY! He finished the kitchen last weekend and we were all excited to move back in. The office.... well, we still have a long way to go. Hopefully this weekend we will get that at least started. We also had our ultrasound appt yesterday and found out that we are having another baby GIRL! We are excited. Hailee and this baby will be close in age and it will be fun for the both of them. She is set to arrive anytime around the 25th of July. We are excited... and relieved that I don't have to buy anymore boy clothes. I got rid of all of mine when Hailee was born. We thought we were done. Looks like the joke was on us. But we love it.
As all of this has been going on, we have been getting ready for Hailee's eye surgery tomorrow. She is going to have a muscle moved on her eye since she has a lazy eye. We are confident that this will fix it and she will have straight eyes. I have been a little anxious today. I keep thinking of all the things that could go wrong. I have got to stop. I know that she will be OK. Her surgery is at 9:30 in the morning. So everyone who thinks about it, remember her in your prayers.
Along with all those things are the normal things that happen in a house of 6 people. Homework, sports, church things, and parent-teacher conferences this week. I will be glad when the weekend gets here.

Hey! My 3 year old just had muscle surgery on both eyes a few weeks ago. It's probably the same surgery. He did great and he was acting normal by late that evening. HIs eyes are finally not red anymore. I'm sure she will do just fine. We'll be thinking about you guys!

Congrats on #5. I can't believe it!
