Sasha. My girl. And the circus.

Thank you so much to everyone who prayed for Sasha as he underwent open heart surgery this past Thursday. The surgery went very well and hopefully he will be moving out of the PICU today. Please continue to pray for a smooth recovery!

Gotta brag on my girl real quick.

We have been working with Payton for a long time on wrist rotation. A good example of that is opening doorknobs. I do believe it has been a blessing in disguise that she has not been able to turn doorknobs.

Until now. This past week, she has mastered the art and now we're in for it. Now we need to figure out how to keep her out of the office (where she likes to empty drawers) and the nursery (where she likes to empty drawers). Do you see a trend here? We're about sick of putting things back in drawers. Sigh.

But ... YAY for progress!

Earlier this week, we were given tickets to the circus from our local DS group. The kids had a lot of fun!

I do have one gripe though. Could there possibly be an organized event that has more inflated prices for food and loot? Seriously.

Carton of popcorn = $7
Bottle of lemonade = $9
Plastic sword = $20
Light up wand = $25

Shall I go on? I mean seriously. Those prices are so ridiculous. I think I can pay less than that at Disney World! Needless to say my kids got the $5 Barnum and Bailey flag and a thing of popcorn. Nothing more. Sorry kids!
