Hey! I actually finished a book!
I recently read PG Wodehouse’s The Clicking of Cuthbert which was great fun. Of course anything by Wodehouse cheers the soul and I really needed cheering this last week.
Jared was out of town for seven days and six nights. It was awful. That’s the longest we’ve ever been apart and aside from missing his help with our boys, I just flat out missed him so much. We’re not planning on letting that happen again anytime soon. Even though he’s been home for two days, I’m still just barely recovering from being apart for so long.
While he was gone, I sent him lots of photos of our boys, which I will now share with you. Here is Alex helping me make scrambled eggs for breakfast.

Here is Luc just saying “hi” and me looking a little scrawny and with wrinkly-old-lady eyes (it was late at night…).

And here is another of Alex sporting a big grin.

Speaking of Alex…his eye surgery is scheduled for May 4th. All thoughts and prayers would be much appreciated. It looks like it is going to cost us around $8,000 for them to uncross his eyes. I’m so grateful to live in a day and an age when the technology and the knowledge is available to do this but am also (understandably) nervous about my sweet little two-year-old going under general anesthesia and the knife. And not to be crass and greedy or anything but this might be a good time to remind you that if you make your Amazon purchases (of anything) through my store then I get a few bucks which helps us out (and doesn’t cost you any extra).
