New addition

Well, after 5 long, painful, grueling months, Steven passed his kidney stone at 1:37 AM this morning. We are still deciding on a name for his "Baby" #5. It was much larger than the Dr. anticipated. The Dr. told us it was 5 mm x 7 mm, but it actually is 1/4 (10 mm) of an inch long and that is after some of it was lithotripsied back in February. The Dr. had been telling him for months that it is passable, but Steven decided he didn't want to try and pass it on his own any longer and just wanted it OUT!!! Steven was scheduled for surgery on Monday. I guess it finally decided to come on its own. We are so grateful and Steven is so proud.

Aubrey throw down your hair....Wait, you can't anymore

Aubrey decided about 8 months ago that she wanted to donate her hair for children who have lost their own hair. So we have been patiently letting it grow and combing out all those tangles. Well, on April 2nd it became that day she was waiting for so eagerly. I cut off 9" of her hair. This is the shortest Aubrey's hair has been since she turned 3. She loves it short and we love that she is so generous to be of service to others.
