Memorial Day Weekend

Totally forgot about the beach weekend trip. It was the 4 year anniversary (actually 9 yrs but who is counting anyways) We left Charlotte on Thursday (man was the car packed!) and stayed at my mom's in Columbia that night. We were able to leave at her bedtime so she slept all the way there. We had to listen to Foster pant and pace all night so we were a bit tired the next day.
We left at her naptime at 9:30/10 and arrived at the beach. We ate some lunch and sat on the beach. She LOVED it! Loved the sand and water and just hanging out. We were able to put her in an alcove in the condo to sleep in her play yard without bothering her at night. She woke early everyday but that is OK, we got to see the sun rise over the ocean every morning! We mostly ate in since that is easier now, but we did go to the Marina in Wild Dunes resort and eat a early dinner on the porch. She did well but she was just loud talking. Mostly we hung on the beach and in the water.

Jillians Surgery :(

On Thursday we took Jilly in to have ear tubes placed. We finally made the decision to do it b/c of all the ear infections. We had to be there at 6:15 am. Filled out paper work and sat around till about 7:00. We went back and changed Jilly into a gown and they gave her some medicine to relax her. It was cherry flavor and she didnt like it that much but took it down like a trooper. Brian and I left and the nurses and Dr. Hoover took her to do the surgery. They were done in about 15 mins! The Dr said there was alot of fluid in both ears so the tubes should really help to alleviate them.
Brian took off the whole day and they hung out. He said she slept alot of it, but was fine. On Friday she was so happy and active you wouldnt even know she had surgery the following day.

Today we have started painting her room. I just went out to Lowes to get some PINK (and I mean pink) paint. Its raining and nasty today so a good day to do it.
