All I did was take a shower...and while I was doing that Will became "Will-guy shooter man." And in case you are wondering I dropped him off at pre-school looking exactly as he does above and I'm pretty sure his teacher thought to herself "This woman is a terribly inattentive parent" and I really don't care what she thinks. My kid rules.

Life is busy, life is good.
We are resurfacing after surgery. Things have been beyond busy... I used to feel like I could get a handle on things, lately, not so much. Thank you to all of you who have kept us, and most especially Alex, in your prayers. We have felt so loved, supported and buoyed up by those near and far. Our mantra is we are "cautiously optimistic" about the results of the surgery. Only time will tell how successful it actually was. You wouldn't believe how brave our boy was...he shed no tears and had much less anxiety than I. He and I shared some great moments during his recovery. I loved having him all to myself and we made it through the whole ordeal together.
And now life is back to business as usual...except we have so much going on that I can't wrap my head around it all. Halloween is upon us and I can't tell you how many times Will has asked, "Is TODAY Halloween yet?" Something to add to the To Do List: make a countdown chart to the big day. There is nothing I would rather do than be the mom of these two boys. Life is good.

Here we go again.
Alex is having surgery on his eyes for the sixth time on Wednesday. I am scared, anxious, and hopeful. The surgery is to correct a condition he has had since he was one-year-old. Our families and many of our friends are fasting with us tomorrow. I believe in the power of prayer. I know many of our friends from all over read this blog-if you can, please add Alex to your prayers on Wednesday. Thanks- we love you for caring about our little boy.
