Home Owners

We did it!!!!!!!!!! We met with some folks downtown, signed our names a bunch of times and then they handed us keys to our first home!!! Wah-hoo. Eric is very excited to get in there and get crackin at our updates (painting, ripping out carpet). I am excited in a blurred kind of way. It will hit me later. :) We did grab a pizza and ate on our dining room floor tonight. Then went and checked everything out again. Amidst the running around, Zachery says, "Mom, I got another pizza." We walked into the room he was in and he had a slice on the floor and sauce all over his shirt, shorts, shoes. Fun, fun, fun and it's a good thing the carpet is going.

Avery and I left the hospital this morning about 9:00. She is okay and overall it went well for her heart catheterization. They tried to get a veinous line in, for an hour (her leg looks so beat up), but were unsuccessful and managed to get the needed measurements through the arterial line in her other leg. Avery was out before they started trying to get these lines in, no worries there. When I first saw her afterwards, she was red hot from being under heat lamps and puffy all over from i.v. fluids, and screaming (I was in the hallway wondering where/when she was coming up and I heard her crying). You so want to pick em up and you can't. Anyhoo, it all got better. Avery was tired today and still is trooper #1. I didn't sleep too well at the hospital and was tired anyway from getting ready the night before, thus explaining my blurred feeling today. Let me sleep already. :) j/k
