I cannot believe how time has gotten away from us! So much has been going on since the last post, some good, some bad, but all in all we are all well and happy! March 23rd, Joey turned 30 years old! We celebrated this mile stone birthday with a wonderful surprise party at the Grafton Ale House. Joe was very surprised and really touched by the family and friends that were there to enjoy the event with him and everyone seemed to have a great time. It was really nice to see him have some fun and unwind a little. He works so hard in the ER and is always working long and crazy shifts, if anyone deserved this it was him!
April fools day I had emergency gallbladder surgery! What a day to go under the knife, but I figure if my twin uncles were born that day, it couldn't be all that bad =). It is a long story, but the short of it, I am feeling better and recovered very well. I was really glad to get back to work because I love, love, love my job! No, seriously, I love my job! I have been working as an Activity Assistant at an elderly residence and they are just awesome. I feel like I'm volunteering, but I actually get paid! I can't begin to explain how precious each resident is and how much they tug at my heart strings. During my recovery my Mom came in from Florida to help out. I did ok, but she helped fill my shoes, like taking Cody to & from school, soccer and other events, not to mention helping so that the house didn't fall apart and so Joe & Cody had clean clothes to wear! It was a really good visit and we are very blessed that she loves us enough to come and help!
Our Chocolate Lab, Harley had a minor surgery in April as well, to have a small cancerous growth removed from his gum. He got his chompers cleaned while we were at it and he's great now. Miles (our Golden retriever) turned 4 in May & as usual we all celebrated! I'm not sure who ate their cake faster, Joe or the puppies =). Lola is doing great too, they are sassy and full of spunk! We love em'.
