We're still alive!

I never meant for a month to go by between posts!!

We had a incredibly long and eventful month though! The day after my last post Pete was admitted to the hospital for the fluid around his heart that had returned. We were told that it would just be for observation and pain management! But the next day a different cardiologist came in and told Pete he had to have surgery that day. So after waiting all day he went in at almost five and had the fluid around his heart drained. He spent that night in the ICU then another 5 days on the cardiac care floor. It was a long week. I spent every day at the hospital and farmed the kids out to various family members. He came home after a week in the hospital.

A day after we got home Pete started making plans to leave that night to go out to his parents in Indiana since he was going to be out for another couple of weeks. But our plans got foiled when major flooding covered th NYS Thruway for miles and miles and there was no way to get west! But we were finally able to leave the next day... exactly a week after Pete's surgery. We stayed out there for week seeing family and going to parks and the zoo. Pics will follow soon when I find time!!

Then after we got home and Pete was going into his fourth week out of work we decided to occupy the time by helping out at VBS at church.

Yesterday was Pete's first day back to work... and a bad day to do it!! It was 96 degrees outside!! He made it most of the night. I told him after being out for a month and being sick and having surgery it would take time to build his stamina back up!

So another month has gone by and Josiah is seven months old now... creeping ever closer to the birth of his little sibling... Emma is still no closer to being potty trained and I am still pregnant!

Stay tuned because hopefully we will be back to our normally scheduled programing!
