moo!

I stayed up too late last night looking at pictures in my May 2013 iphoto file, and there are some real gems in there. Isn't it amazing how quickly these kiddies (these, yours, all of them) change?

But really, I should get to news of the surgery; it all went well and Hendrik was back to his normal self by Friday evening (upside down, diving headfirst into things - with the two parents, "noooo slow down!"). Three popsicles and two hours of Franklin proved to more effective than the eye drops and Tylenol that we offered (they were denied), and with less swelling and zero bruising or discoloration, the procedure would be easily missed at a glance. I was thinking he'd be away from preschool for a week at least, but save for his somewhat bloodshot eyes, he's looking and acting completely normal. So, we have a follow-up appointment in a week or so, and we'll talk about next steps and how things are looking - but more importantly we're happy that the procedure #3 is history and that Hendrik is feeling good. Hopefully this is the last surgical operation his eyeballs will see for some while.

We've been big into the Greek food thing since we've been home: feta is part of my daily diet, mixed grill and souvlaki are weekly meals, and there are pitas and tsatziki in the fridge. We still have no confirmation on plans for the fall (like I said in my last post, it'll be back to school or back to Europe), but one thing is sure: there will be Greek yogurt in the fridge (and plans in the works to visit).

saturday swings, saturday souvlaki, and today; construction worker and waving at cars :)

MOOOOO to you
