First of all, my mom had her 2nd hip replacement surgery done this morning. My dad called after 11:00 and said she had done fine in the surgery but was still in recovery and would be for 2 more hours. He called back around 5:00 and said she was STILL in recovery, not because she needed to be, but because the hospital didn't have a room for her. They had 10 patients waiting for rooms, so she could possibly have to spend the night tonight in the recovery room. Very poor planning if you ask me- they were all planned patients (scheduled surgeries). But the good news is that she did well. Please pray that she recovers quickly with minimal pain.
Next, here are a few pictures of our developing house. We now have walls. Not much to see, but it will be exciting for us to watch the progress.
Here are a few pictures from Saturday. It is hard to put into words how much my kids love "Baby Elliot." They have even coined a sing-songy way to say his name. I never posted that Brooks whacked Bailey with a golf club in the nose- popped her a good one. She has a horrible black eye. Lynette was kind enough not to post about it either. Of course it had to happen maybe 5-10 minutes before Lynette came to pick them up. Brooks felt horrible about it, and Bailey was a REAL trooper even though her nose was gushing blood. It didn't look that bad when she left here, but I saw her Monday night at BSF and it was the worst black eye/nose I have ever seen. Yikes!
You can see from the above pictures that Sadie doesn't leave E alone for a second. She likes to "mother" him (aka- maul him).
Brooks loves him too!
And these above pictures are of Miss Sadie herself this morning. She is a character!
We had a great afternoon. I picked up Cobe at school and enjoyed talking to his teacher/my friend Emily (Hey Em!!!!!) for awhile since she was sweet enough to walk Cobe to the car. Then we ran home for a second to make sure the house was in tip-top shape for the showing this evening. We left and went to Russ' for dinner. I am not too fond of the place, but it's cheap and my kids love it. We had the place to ourselves which was nice since we had to stay gone until we could go to church at 6:30. After eating, it was only about 5:30, so we went over to Knollwood to take the pictures of our walls, then headed to church. Cobe and I watched Survivor when we got home (thanks to Emily we knew it was on tonight), then the boys headed off to bed. I then watched Big Brother. Who could ask for a better TV night????? :-)
Hopefully we'll hear something about the showing in the morning. I'll be sure to post if we do! Brooks has his 5 year old well-child check up in the morning. What a difference there is between him and Cobe. Cobe would have worried himself sick just thinking about it. Brooks, on the other hand, asks me, "Will I get any shots?" I told him probably, but I wasn't 100% sure. He never batted an eye or said a word about it. I just said, "Why does it matter? You're tough." And he just smiled. My little Brooksie! Cobe has another soccer game tomorrow night as well. Just a few more soccer games and then..... a break??? NO WAY- baseball starts up! My athlete made a Little League team that will practice twice a week and have 2 games a week! Oh no! We never thought he would make the team, that is why we let him go out for it. Around 28 eight year olds tried out for a 9-10 year old Williamsport league and less than half of them made it. He was one of them! I am certainly proud of him, but do dread the commitment on my part of all the games and practices. The season goes until June 26th!!!! I think this is the first year they even let 8 year olds try out. They then drafted them onto teams, and he is on the Pittsburgh Pirates- coached by Kyle Curtiss which is the good part- we know him well, and Cobe is friends with his son- Big Coby. (Coby Curtiss is known as Big Coby at New Groningen and Cobe Huizenga is known as Little Cobe at school--haha)
See? I told you this post was going to be all over the board. But I am done! Reward yourself with a cookie if you stuck with me! Good night!

Congratulations to Cobe for making the "big team" for baseball. It's so cool for him. I will have to tell D. You sure have alot going on in your life right now. I will say a prayer that your showing went well on your house tonight. Sleep tight......
Oh my-I think Sadie and Vera will be great friends! She is so cute.
The diet blog is going...I think it is too easy for me to "confess". :) I think it does help a bit though!
I do enjoy your life stories. Thanks for the update(s).
Sounds busy. But awesome that he made the team! thanks for the pics, too. have a great day!
Wow, what a commitment! Great accomplishment for "little" Cobe. :)
Those are the most incredible cement-poured walls I have EVER seen!
I love the pictures of Sadie, especially the second one. Eden has that dress, too! It was a favorite back when it fit her. :( Why won't my child stop getting bigger? I thought we had a deal!
I meant to comment earlier... oops! I talked to you instead I guess though! I LOVE that 2nd pic of Sadie! E loves them too, constatly saying "Sssseeeeee" (for Sadie)! :) Followed by his version of the "Baby Elliot" song, think he's heard it a few times????
