What happens when you dry yourself???

If you are Alexander, and have scratched your nose at some point, then what happens is you dry so hard that you peel the scab off....

In doing that what happens???

Mommy and Daddy can't get your nose to stop bleeding so when all else fails you let them put a Big Bird band-aid on it...

Then you wander around the house pointing to your nose saying "Boo Boo?"

He was such a nut...

And after about an hour I guess either the band-aid got old or uncomfy and he wanted it off...

Luckily there were no tears when it had to come off!!

A little fun with Grandpa...

Alexander loves to get into whatever his brothers are doing....Christopher and Johnathan run to infront of the fireplace, and he is right in the mix...

Notice how like his big brothers he's looking at mommy and has his feet up just like Christopher


Just relaxing on the couch!

The kids enjoyed their visit with Grandma and Grandpa this past weekend.





Didn't take much for them to enjoy goofing off in front of the camera...the three of them were sooo funny...they would go take a pose then quickly run to mom to "view" it before the ditigal display went away!

It was great to have Grandma and Grandpa here, and especially Abby...Xander LOVES to take the puppy for a walk!

And Grandpa and Daddy got to go the the Belt-Loop bonanza where Christopher got 7 beltloops for scouts!!

Grandma got to watch Johnathan do all of his gymnastics moves to see just how great he was doing!

A fun weekend for all involved!

It feels great to walk....

Like a normal person again....as well as sleep on my stomach without the leg pain.



While I still have some pain it's not unbearable!



I've gotten my medical release to go back to the gym, so that will be happening soon!



I'm thrilled to say that the weight that I lost I haven't re-gained...so I must be doing something right!



Here's hoping all will continue to progress and I hope that I will continue to push myself and get right back into the swing of things!!

WOOHOO THE STITCHES ARE OUT!!!

Went on Friday for my check-up....

With my leg still being infected she didn't want to take them out yet...

So she took out 3...

So I went all weekend trying my best to stay off my leg and keep it iced so that it would heal and they could come out today....

AND THEY DID!!!

There was 2 or 3 that were around the bigger scabs that hurt like hell, and my leg is still a little tender from where she had to pull those out but they are gone!!

Still have 2 more days of rest to see if the infection will "ooze" it's way out then I should be ok...

Still no pool or gym, but I'm getting closer!!!

UGGGG I miss the gym....

I can't get my stitches out yet I still can't have my medical release to go back to the gym....

It's been a little over a week and I just feel blah!!!

Didn't realize how much I missed going till I had everyone telling me I'm not allowed!!

I know I haven't posted in a while, but I've been dealing with my own brand of drama lately!!

I don't want to put up the pictures and gross everyone out, but they are here if anyone wants to see...

PLEASE be forewarned if you have a weak stomach you won't want to look...I've been told they are pretty gross...

I have yet another follow-up appointment on Friday to have my stitches checked again...

I just want to walk without being in pain, and I'm tired of sleeping on my right side!!!
