Busy Last Few Days, Ends With A Smile!

After totalling our van we searched for the right van for our family. After searching the Internet we ended up buying a 2007 Honda Odyssey. After three hours of negotiating we got a great deal. Kaleb commented "Mom we can't buy a van, there too expensive, they cost like $200 dollars." That's my bargain shopper!

Great Grandma Tucker and Aunt Irene came to visit Friday night. The kids wanted to make the gingerbread house they brought the second they saw it. I don't know who had more fun Grandma and Irene or the boys! They all had a blast. Do you really think the house will last until Christmas? We are so happy Grandma and Irene came to visit!

Today Lukie is more alert and is dealing well with pain. He still gets morphine every 3 hours. Today he even passed stool! A great mile stone since last surgery took 6 weeks to pass anything. Lukie even showed us his wonderful smile again! "Joy in the Journey!" The plan is to slowly give him pedialyte starting on Monday. That is when the new test will begin!
